Large hostel with many rooms in the middle of the old town. The police station is right nearby. Check-in went smoothly and the staff were friendly. However, the entire hostel is poorly ventilated, and our room had only a window facing an enclosed courtyard. The room smelled musty, and the shared bathroom was really inconvenient. There were about nine double rooms sharing a single toilet and shower, so it was often occupied and, due to heavy use, not very clean. Next time, we would avoid a shared bathroom. The rooftop terrace is essentially a bar with high prices. Hanging out there without ordering is not welcomed. The walking tour and the canal tour were both great.

Formerly Selena, now Viajero. Great low budget hostel with a massive rooftop including pool, restaurant, and bar. Drinks are decently priced, tacos are phenomenal, and the views are beyond incredible. I’ve stayed here under both the Selena and Viajero name and would highly recommend. They’ll hold your bags before/after check-in in locked rooms. Great co-working and chill areas, including silent rooms for work, ping pong and pool tables. Great library area and lots of activities. On the edge of the Casco Viejo area within walking distance to everything there.

So close to everything in the old part of Panama City. The harbour walk just one block, churches, supermarkets 2 blocks. Yoga in the morning….. thank you. The hand weights were enough. The roof top bar is great for the sunset. We were upgraded and ended up with a 2 bed apartment. No service to our room. Thank you. Great walking tour every day. Bike tour excellent also. And the people … always with a smile.
