Small hostel for a few nights. Small rooms. There i contacted a sailing trip for san blas islands. It was a beautiful and interesting trip in the historical boat Gitana III. Suitable excursion to do.

The hostel is acceptable, the staff is friendly and always help you if you need something, the price is cheap and meets many people from all over the world, the film is stunning, there is also space...

I have no complain about the hostel itself as it is a good (I arrived and they let me in at 2:00 even if they did not have a bed available for me, they found a solution for 10USD in a theatre room), well, my traveling pal arrived the night before and they did the same for him but he... More

PROS: great location, right at the entrance of Casco Viejo and overlooking the P.C. skyline; wonderfully atmospheric colonial mansion location; clean dorms and beds; two central bar/lounge areas that encourage guests to chat and mingle; kitchen, fridge and cheap beer; friendly, helpful staff offering a wide array of services (lodging, laundry, tours, transportation booking). CONS: I can only think of... More

I stayed a couple of days at lunas castle. Very helpful staff, good location, reasonable sized fridges, good breakfast (coffee pancake, fruits); especially helpful with going further to Columbia and San Blas. Book exchange, If one needs a LP Central America, here is the place to look for. The Cinema is really awesome: watch movies in a super quality. Location:... More

Luna’s castle is a very well operated gig. It’s a hub for all sorts of travelers which gives this place a unique atmosphere and charm. As it was my first time traveling “on the cheap” and it was my only 2nd time staying at a hostel (the first one was just around the block a week before) I had a... More

I recently had a seriously awesome time at Luna's Castle in the Casco Viejo district of Panama City. Luna's is also a seriously social place, I was actually traveling alone but I made friends from France, Uruguy, Colunbia, Italy, Germany, Israel, & Canada during my stay. Opportunities for adventure & partying abound. Luna's has an open air courtyard bar(with 50... More

This is definitely a party hostel and would be a great place to stay with a group of friends. But if you're looking for a quiet, comfortable hostel this is not the one. Panama City is very hot and humid and it's worth the extra couple bucks to splurge for the A/C dormitory. It's very tough to get in touch... More
