She was kind and welcoming and so helpful with me after my phone was stolen in Ecuador the day before I arrived. I cannot thank her enough. The hostel is clean and comfortable and I would 100% recommend this place.

Eden`s Garden Hostel

Panama City

Situated in Panama City, Eden`s Garden Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is located 8.6 km from Estadio Rommel Fernandez, 9.1 km from Rod Carew National Stadium and 11 km from Bridge of the Americas. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and a tour desk for guests. Breakfast was good, but could be a bit better. Not everyone wants their eggs well done, but at least you are given the chance to fry it yourself or scramble if you are fussy. You can even decide if you don't want breakfast for that day or not or if you want toast or pancake or Arepas. The Hostel is REALLY cleaned everyday, the Dorms are really focused on as people visit everyday, Linen is changed everyday. The private rooms get cleaned every 3rd day, which I was happy as I'm not an untidy person. Private rooms have ample space for luggage and ample storage space for clothing and groceries. My bathroom was separate from the room, but I was the only one that had access to it, so I was content. There is no hot water, but the trick is to get all warmed up outside while having breakfast, then go cool off with a morning shower! The kitchen has all the amenities to cook, so that was good for me.

Hostal Amador Familiar

Ancon, Panama City

At the hostel, each room comes with a wardrobe. Complete with a private bathroom, guest rooms at Hostal Amador Familiar are equipped with air conditioning, and selected rooms come with a seating area. At the accommodation each room is fitted with bed linen and towels. It's super close to the airport which is the main reason for booking it. Also we love that it was family run and operated. They helped us with all of our questions and concerns! We got in late and they directed us to a nearby store to get food and Sim cards to save money. The air-conditioning was great in the room and much needed after a few hit nights.

El Machico Hostel

Marbella, Panama City

Located in the Marbella district in Panama City, 3 km from Canal Museum of Panama, El Machico Hostel boasts a swimming pool and free WiFi throughout the property. Free private parking is available on site. Everything! I'm not sure why this place is receiving such luke warm reviews. It's a really nice hostel, the staff is really helpful, it's super clean, the rooms are very quiet and comfortable , the bathrooms are really nice, big and plenty, huge well stocked kitchen, and the fastest laundry service I've seen in a while. The pool is really nice and in general it has a really nice chill laid-back vibe and is in a super nice neighbourhood. It's actually a lot nicer looking than the pictures. I slept like a baby over here. Possibly the most undisturbed sleep that I've had in a full dorm room in 4 months of travelling. That itself makes this a full 10 for me. I also lucked out with having only super nice and sociable guests there during my stay. Also, best hostel coffee to boot. I honestly would've extended for a couple of days if I didn't have a flight pre booked.
