Recepcionistas amables, rooftop agradable
Pros:

Gracias al equipo entero. Son jóvenes dinámicos y llenos de atención. Cuando llegué pusieron música de mi país. Gracias a jean carlos que hizo el check out.

Cons:

Los baños compartidos no estaban muy limpios. No sé si es que una persona se vomito durante la noche pero se quedó así hasta el día siguiente.

Outstanding experience
Pros:

Great hostel. Offer activities for guests, pool and the best roof top, music at night, yoga room, co-working rooms, pool tables, best atmosphere and the friendliest staff. Amazing!

Cons:

A bit on the noisy side at night. Loud music neighborhood and from the rooftop. But if you are looking for fun places to stay, this is your place!

Excelente experiencia, volvería sin dudarlo
Pros:

Tuve una excelente experiencia durante mi estancia. El ambiente del hostal es muy agradable y siempre hay actividades para conocer personas y pasar un buen rato. Las instalaciones están limpias y bien cuidadas. Todo el personal fue muy amable, atento y dispuesto a ayudar en todo momento. Quiero destacar especialmente la atención de Gabriel, quien fue muy cordial, profesional y siempre estuvo pendiente de cualquier detalle. Sin duda volvería a hospedarme aquí y lo recomiendo a quienes visiten Ciudad de Panamá.

Cons:

No tengo comentarios negativos. Mi experiencia fue muy buena y todo cumplió con mis expectativas.

Un hostal que te hace sentir en casa
Pros:

Mi experiencia fue excelente de principio a fin. El hostal tiene un ambiente muy agradable, las instalaciones están siempre limpias y organizadas, y las actividades hacen que la estancia sea muy entretenida. Quiero hacer un reconocimiento especial a Gabriel y a su compañera de recepción, quienes siempre brindan una atención excepcional. Ambos son muy amables, atentos y hacen que uno se sienta bienvenido desde el primer momento. Se nota que disfrutan lo que hacen y eso marca la diferencia. Si siguen atendiendo así, voy a tener que volver solo para saludarlos. 😅 Sin duda recomiendo este hostal y regresaré muy pronto.

Cons:

Lo único malo fue que la estadía se hizo muy corta. Cuando uno la pasa tan bien, dan ganas de quedarse unos días más. 😂

Pros:

Located walking distance from the heart of Casco Viejo.

Rooftop and common area are lovely and the hostel puts in a lot of effort to create a social vibe (special mention for Jessy, she's a great host and includes everyone).

Cons:

1. More detailb could be put into cleaning, such as in the common kitchen and bathrooms. Maybe a deep clean once in a while or more frequent cleaning, especially for bathrooms.

2. Just as a warning, the hostel is located on the same street as bars and clubs. There are also parties at the rooftop when it opens to the public. The hostel is also on the outer edge of Casco Viejo, where just a street or two away it is not recommended to go as a tourist. Be cautious.

Mucho que desear
Pros:

Me gustó la piscina

Cons:

Las habitaciones tenían mucha humedad, el día que fui había un incendio, que duró desde las 2:00am y nos sacaron, nos dejaron dormir en la calle y no nos compensaron en nada.

Welcoming ‘home from home’
Pros:

Gabriel was a fantastic host who made my stay really pleasant. I was also looked after by other staff - whem I was working in the co-working space and whoever I had any questions at reception. Thank you.
