The hostel is good value for a night or 2 as it’s cheap, but the room is absolutely tiny and a lot of the building is under repair or construction.

Excellent hostel, located in the heart of the city. The bathrooms are clean because the staff checks them several times a day. Space is limited inside the rooms, but the curtains on each bed allowed me to have the necessary privacy. I was really surprised by the quality of the accommodation since it is very affordable. I will stay here every time I visit Panama.

It was a good stay for the short time I was there in between connecting flights. Although, there was someone up in our room every hour or so which was really noisy considering I didn’t even have a curtain to cover my bunk.

Rafael & his team do a remarkable job of keeping things clean and organized, and making the guests feel welcome and comfortable. Rooms are sparce but effective, and there are a few common areas -- living room, dining area, kitchen, patio and pool deck. I liked the Community Breakfast 8-9am when all guests (those interested) can gather and meet during a casual coffee and breakfast.

Ficaria Bom se fosse Reformado ou Modernizado

A localização até que é boa. Café da manhã muito pobre, somente uma e as vezes duas empanadas e uma xícara de café muito fraco. O próprio hostel pega coisas dos hóspedes, que estão na geladeira, para servir no café da manhã! Eu vivi essa experiência! Reclamei duas vezes, disseram que iam repor e até o final da minha estadia nada aconteceu. No salão de estar tem muitos mosquitos ou coisa parecida, resultando muita coceira.

O Hostel Necessita de uma Modernização e Reforma

Localização boa, mais ou menos perto da Estação do Metrô Via Argentina. Café da manhã muito pobre: uma e as vezes duas empanadas com uma xícadas de café. Você tem que complementar com frutas, leite e até café, pois o café servido é muito fraco! No salão de estar e das refeições tem muitos mosquitos, ou sei lá o quê é, pois dá muita coceira e reação na pele!

O Hostel Necessita de Reforma e de Modernização!

As fotos não condizem com a realidade. O Hostel necessita de uma reforma e de uma atualização. O café da manhã é muito pobre: apenas uma ou duas empanadas e uma xícara de café. Utilizaram minhas frutas que estavam na geladeira, etiquetadas com meu nome, para servir no café da manhã de todos! Reclamei duas vezes, prometeram repor, mas nunca repuzeram! Achei a localização do hostel boa, mais ou menos perto da Estação do Metrô Via Argentina. No salão de estar e das refeições do hostel tem muitos mosquitos, acho que vêm de um rio próximo bem poluído.
