We are not a fan of shared bathrooms but they keep it clean. The hostel has a lovely atmosphere and nice garden to have a cold beer. Centrally located, staff was very friendly, would go back as as it is worth the (little) money.

Average hostel with all the basics you'd expect for this price range. Beds are not overly comfortable and you have to get up very early for hot water showers. There is no information available for things to do around the city and the staff speak no English so brush up on your Spanish if you plan to stay here.

I stayed 1 week at Hostal Urraca and found it to be an excellent lodging. Upon my arrival at 3:20AM in Panama Airport, the son of the hostal owner met me within minutes of clearing customs. It was well worth arranging transportation with the hostal, rather tan worrying about taking a taxi at that early hour of the morning. The... More

Bring CASH...they do not currently take Plastico. Notes for Travellers with Mobility Challenges: I had a broken foot when I arrived, and one of the Front Desk Staffers who speaks excellent English is a former Nurse at Hospital Nacional...she saved me an Emergency room visit, and hooked me up directly with a great English speaking Doc at the Orthopedic Clinic...

A pleasant surprise awaits among tall office buildings and residential high rises. The hostel is well situated in a safe area of Panama City in Bella VIsta with easy access to everything. Single rooms do not have air conditioners but with fans. It took a while getting used to a small single room as initially it felt like sleeping in... More

A real hostel for young people who don't care about the paint on the walls. Shared kitchen, shared bathrooms, barbecue area, free internet, free coffee and toast in the morning. Lots of people everywhere at all times, but all quiet enough. Very relaxed atmosphere. We had two young ladies come into our room during the night (with their own key... More

Hostal La urraca is a charming house surrounded and threatened by huge buildings. I´t s an excellent and cheap option to stay in Panama City. Big mall near; accessible to main buses lines to go downtown, Allbrook or Channel area. The staff is so kind, and the environment made us feel at home!. Facilities are quite basic but coherent with... More
