Party hostel thur to Sun all night. Good location to old town. Safe. Had to have my room key updated most days, so organisation could be improved on.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Great private room for the price, great staff, amazing group of people you meet on the regular activities & tours, just loses a star as they don't understand volume control or any music genres outside reggaeton. The bar is great and one of the best places in town for a party, but it is full volume from morning to 3am, if you have a room on the fifth and probably also 4th floor no chance of even getting a siesta. I can sleep through anything and the night didn't even bother me as much as the fact you couldn't even go back in the day unless you wanted to be at club level volumes in your room. Just mix up the playlist and have some 15 minute chill periods!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was helpful with local info. I had a few issues. There was some loud work being done on the room next to mine at 1am, my AC don't really work well, and the bed was too firm. All survivable but annoyances Space is clean. Relaxing.

Tyrone, Philadelphia

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean but did not have the amenities advertised. No balcony or television. The hot water did not work most of the time. The location was close to plenty of bars and restaurants. I would not recommend staying here for longer than maybe 2 or 3 days. The price of the stay was great and cheap, but that's also probably why the place lacked better amenities. Not too bad for a very short stay. Staff was helpful.

Viajero Panamá is welcoming, and perfectly located. Great staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and lively common areas make it easy to connect with other travelers. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The rooftop and social spaces really capture the energy of Panama City, and the hostel’s activities make you feel part of a community from day one. A place that’s not just about where you sleep, but about the experience you take with you.
