The one good thing about the property is it very close to the airport. They promise a shuttle but it only goes three times a night so we were not able to use the shuttle as promised we had to pay a taxi on the side also no breakfast about $65 for a very mediocre room.

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.

I got the upgraded full bed room. First off the bed frame was frame had a huge hole in the side. After getting settled in I saw a lizard run across the floor. Noticed several human hairs on the sheets. This place is really close to the airport and I mean the runway. Might as well be parked on the runway. You could hear planes take off as if the jet engines are pointed directly at the windows. I got little sleep.

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.
