Pros:

Bem localizado, quarto privado confortável e comida boa

Cons:

Ficamos apenas uma noite e tivemos vários problemas. A fechadura eletrônica ficou sem bateria e a porta do banheiro ao fechar a porta, se trancou do lado de dentro. Por sorte tivemos o Gabriel para nos auxiliar e melhorar a experiência, foi super educado e solicito, nosso muito obrigada a ele. Infelizmente tivemos problemas demais com as instalações para um único dia

To be or not to be, that's the question. I decided to let it be :-)
Pros:

Staff was very welcoming and accommodating, especially Melina was very helpful. 10/10
Vibe was very good. 8/10
Location is spot on. 7/10
Overall, I sure will pick this hostel once again, if I visit Panama again.

Cons:

There were plenty of activities to participate and enjoy but not well managed. This should be streamlined and a little more engagement from the staff and/ or volunteers would make a big difference.
On a side note, they need to connect both elevators with one call button, so only one nearest is responding. I noticed some of us will press for both separately and both will show up. It's not just waste of electricity but disservice to another guest on other end.

Très bien si vous voulez faire la fête à Panama city
Pros:

L’emplacement dans le quartier historique, la terrasse avec la piscine

Cons:

- Il y avait une mauvaise odeur dans notre chambre malgré que nous aérions régulièrement.
- La propreté de la salle de bain commune, nous l’avons remarqué car des cheveux dans la douche sont restés au même endroit tous les long de notre séjour de 4 jours ainsi qu’un cafard qui n’a pratiquement pas bougé de place.
- l’équipement de la cuisine est vraiment très minime au vu du nombre de client. 5 assiettes, 2 bols et 2 cuillères qui se battent en duel. Nous sommes obligés de demander aux personnes de vite faire leur vaisselle après leur repas pour récupérer les ustensiles ou autres.
- il est indiqué de ne pas faire de bruits après minuit mais finalement c’est la musique de la terrasse qui fais le plus de bruit jusqu’au moins 1h du matin

Hammer Location und das rooftop!!
Pros:

Rooftop!! Vorallem weil auch Einheimische hier her kommen! Der Blick ist einzigartig und wenn man den Sonnenaufgang und Untergang erleben kann einfach magisch. Mir hat Miranda (habe leider den Namen vergessen) von der Rezeption ein Upgrade gegeben, was mich sehr glücklich gemacht hat.

Cons:

Es ist ein Party Hostel. Wenn du nicht dabei bist wird es schwierig zu schlafen. Selbst mit oropax. Die Portionen auf dem Dach sind ein wenig zu klein für die Preise.

Muy bien!
Pros:

La habitación estaba muy bien y con baño dentro de la propia habitación, cosa que encuentro muy positiva.
La terraza tiene unas vistas preciosas de la ciudad de Panamá y la piscina está muy bien.
Está en pleno centro del Casco Viejo, por lo que tiene una buena ubicación y en una zona segura.

Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

La habitación es muy pequeña y huele a humedad.
Las duchas compartidas depende de cuando estan sucias.
Es imposible descansar. Nos alojamos un miercoles y habia fiesta en el roof top hasta pasadas la 1:30 de la noche y a pesar de estar en la planta 4 se escuchaba y retumbaban las paredes.
