It's actually good for the price. It's generally clean, located near the airport, and there is a shuttle bus that leaves at set times. I checked in at midnight, and this was not a problem. Leven, +507 6272-3484 took me on tour of panama canal and downtown at night. It was mind blowing. I got so much down given that i was in Panama from 10 pm to 10 am. Overall a very good/happy stay.

It is Ok for a few hours

This property is located very close from the airport, it is ok if you are going to stay for a few hours waiting for a connection flight, however, the property is in very bad condition. They offer free shuttle service to the airport.

This was my first hostel stay. I know they are meant to be an affordable option-and it was. My bed and linens were clean and comfortable and great AC. My shower had a couple of inches of standing water in the basin (but was hot) and my toilet leaked from the handle all over the bathroom floor. Overall, it was fine for my 11.5 hour layover.

This property is perfect as a layover rest stop for passengers at PTY Panama Tocumen airport. The room and the amenities are as basic as it gets. They sell water and other drinks by the lobby. Even though it’s walkable, it’s best to get an uber or taxi from the airport to get here. The best part is that from the hotel, they have a free airport shuttle that leaves at 5 am, 8 am, and 1 pm. 🕐

I was not impress with the fact that the AC did not work at first. I had to go downstairs 3x to seek help. Also the TV did not work at all, i was told by the staff at the front desk. Upon leaving the next morning i saw a mice run down the stairs. I think the staff could have showed more hospitality.

While the property was next to the airport & you could hear planes taking off, it wasn't all that disturbing. Reservations included breakfast (maybe only coffee & toast) but this was not the case (there was a seating area & refrigerated case with sodas, juice & water and a few snacks for sale, food wasn't being served [although menu @ front desk indicated 3 cooked items] as i believe it indicated it was closed for remodeling/construction. The desk staff did store my food in their fridge for a couple of hours & i asked if they had a microwave to heat it, which they did for me. They had TVs in the rooms but i was not able to get a connection to use it. Room was small but comfortable with air-conditioning. It took a while to get hot water in the shower, maybe because it was in the back of the building & further from the water heater...who knows? Convenient (10 min) for early flight to the airport (letting them know me intent to use this the nite before) by their free shuttle @5am (only others posted on front desk @8am & 1pm)
