I would change nothing about how I was treated or the quality of the rooms and building. The owner is the most friendly and sincere person you could ever meet and all of his staff members are...

Daniel is super helpful and just an all-around cool guy. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Panama City. Also, it's the only hostel in the... More
