Liked: Relatively safe. The dorm room had air conditioning. The wifi worked.

Disliked: The location is a long way away from the action at Panana Vieja. Not much to do in the area except gamble at the casinos. The hostel needed a good clean. The veranda and lounge areas appeared to be used as "overflow" accommodation for either guests or friends of the owners ? Movies were being played in the lounge area till very late and very loud, right next to the rooms....take your ear plugs.

Liked: I met good people there.

Disliked: They didnt know about my reservation even though i paid the deposit trough hostelbookers, but in the end they found a room for me. They charged more than my booking said. It was just a dollar difference but I dont see the point why to charge more than what was agreed.

Liked: Nice balcony... A view and a nice place to meet people. AC dorm is in more private floor of the hostel (and cleaner part I think). Helpfull staff.

Disliked: Too expensive for the money. The owners are a bit cheap... Obliging customer to buy beer from the hostel on new year, closing the air con (that I paid extra) during daytime (when it is hot). Charging extra for a few hours. 17$ for dorm is just too expensive. AC is just too cold during the night

17 August 2010 Peter would recommend this property

Liked: Great place, awesome staff! Room 10 rocks!!! Had such a good time my first 2 nights i came back for 3 more after seeing the islands. Nice little top floor hangout space on the patio, just always a great vibe - great pancakes as well, laundry service was fast too. Drink fridge was always stocked. Location can't be beat, safe and taxi anywhere for $2-3. El Ray supermarket is 3 blocks away. This place is your launching point for a amazing panama experience.

Disliked: When i stayed there was some loud morning construction on the 3rd floor but that just means they're making it even better!

Liked: The location, security, clean are great.

Disliked: The management here sucks. The manager is talking with girls instead of managing hotel. They are very cheap. The breakfast is only pancakes with 1 choice of syrup and no butter.Washing clothes is $6. I never paid this amount and I travel world. The pay computer does not work half the time and you can not get into Yahoo. I expect none of this to change because it is a family operation.

Liked: It has a big communal area.

Disliked: For the price I paid for a private room, I expected a lot more. Bathroom was shared. There was nothing in my room except a bed, a hammock and a fan (no aircon). I had to leave all my stuff on the floor.
