I stayed in a 6-bed women’s pod room and it was very clean and comfortable. Once in my pod at night I was never woken up by any noise. It was very easy to catch an Uber to anywhere in town. Showers were clean with excellent water pressure. ##### Melissa Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pia 29 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Simple accommodations went a really long way for a weary traveler such as myself. And Hostel The Pod 33 was just what I needed. I slept like a rock. The Pod was quiet, clean and very accessible. And it's located in the charming neighborhood of Bella Vista, too. ##### Pia Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Mychael 25 May 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities My stay was fine. Half of the showers didn't work, but I was always able to use one of the ones that did. If you are a solo female traveler and want to stay in the women’s only dorm, you should now that you have to walk through the co-ed dorm in order to reach it, so it’s not quite as separate as I would have hoped. There also wasn’t any soap in the bathrooms, so you have to bring your own. But the location is good. ##### Mychael Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 7 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Big supermarket right next door.

The front desk is never around and is not friendly. I booked and paid for a seven bed and put me in a 20 bed instead. There are better places to stay. ##### Dennis Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Conan 2 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was friendly and tried to be accommodating, but I did have to ring the doorbell for 10 minutes when I first arrived before someone finally answered. I also had to vacate the large shared room I was in and sleep on a sofa outside the room because someone had turned up the A/C to a level too high for my comfort. ##### Conan Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Julie 28 Feb 2023 Liked: Staff & service The staff was fine, but there was a woman in our room who insisted on keeping the air conditioning off and the lights off!! She was very rude and I found out from staff that she had been getting into yelling fights with other guests. The owner should have thrown her out immediately but they gave her too many second chances! Ugh! There really aren’t any laundry facilities nearby, only a dry cleaner. Also the staff doesn’t speak English so have your translator app ready. ##### Julie Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beatrice 24 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mon refuge à Panama City. J’y retournerai ! J’ai fait plusieurs séjours à Panama City et El Hostel Pod33 était à chaque fois mon point de chute. La situation est parfaite dans un quartier très sûr Près de la station de métro Santo Tomas, d’un super marché. Je suis allée à pied visiter la ville ancienne. Super accueil. Gentillesse et disponibilité. J’ai laissé des affaires pendant mon trip dans le Darien. La literie est parfaite. Chaque lit a sa prise de courant et un rideau pour préserver l’intimité. Il existe des lits doubles en dortoir. La climatisation. Génial. Peut-être que quelques ustensiles de cuisine et le mobilier de la salle à manger/ salon serait à rénover mais on s’y sent franchement bien! J’y retournerai encore et encore, c’est certain. ##### Beatrice Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Eduardo 11 Feb 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Mejor otra opcion El lugar está sucio y mal cuidado.

No me sentí comoda, porque estaba super sucio todo, el baño olía mal y no había jabón para lavar manos. Muy raro todo, no me gusto asique no lo recomiendo para alguien que le guste estar comodo y le gustan las habitaciones/baños limpios. ##### Laura Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### MANUEL 7 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Muy recomendable El lugar es muy agradebale, el tipo que atiende es muy agradable y estuvo siempre dispuesto a ayudarnos. La ubicación es muy buena, a pocos pasos esta un restaurante donde es muy econcomico y a unos cuantos pasos mas un supermercado, pienso que esta cerca de todo lo que quise ver en panama No me agrado que el lugar no tenga opcion de cancelar o modifcar, buscando un poco sobre esta opcion en Hoteles.com encontré que es debido a que el lugar no lo ofrece. Hice una reserva en una fecha por error y ahora voy a perder esa reserva porque ya dejé el país. ##### MANUEL Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nelson 18 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Buena atención, cumple con las expectativas, se justifica con relación al precio ##### Nelson Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Mai Ong 11 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities No signs saying place was hostal. just a building behind a gate. took me walking back and forth down the road before realize that was the hostal. ##### Mai Ong Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Gold Island Selected Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alanya-Hotels-Gold-Island-Hotel-All-Inclusive.h4789976.Hotel-Information) > - [HOTEL GROOVE SHINJUKU, A PARKROYAL Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Hotel-Groove-Shinjuku.h90097719.Hotel-Information) > - [Socialtel Casco Viejo Panama City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panama-City-Hotels-Selina-Casco-Viejo-Panama-City.h22355532.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels near King's Road](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Road-Hotels.0-l6187232-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Amarla Boutique Hotel Casco Viejo Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panama-City-Hotels-Amarla-Panama-Boutique-Hotel.h76546151.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Cavtat Old Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavtat-Old-Town-Hotels.d6169801.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Greywalls Hotel and Chez Roux](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Greywalls-Hotel-And-Chez-Roux.h3620007.Hotel-Information) > - [5 Star Hotels in Coverack](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Coverack-Hotels.s50-0-d6360962.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Catalonia Royal Ses Estaques - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Eulalia-Del-Rio-Hotels-Catalonia-Royal-Ses-Estaques-Adults-Only.h17908087.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Kalbach-Riedberg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kalbach-Riedberg-Frankfurt-Hotels.0-n553248635976007510-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels.d178283.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [The Lavenders](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tenby-Hotels-The-Lavenders.h27370953.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Zanzibar Town (ZNZ) to Arusha (JRO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/znz/jro/zanzibar-to-kilimanjaro) > - [Flights from Aberdeen (ABZ) to Bergen (BGO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/abz/bgo/aberdeen-to-bergen) > - [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Ponta Delgada (PDL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/pdl/edinburgh-to-ponta-delgada) > - [Flights from Newquay (NQY) to Derby (EMA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/nqy/ema/newquay-to-east-midlands) > - [Flights from Liverpool (LPL) to Sion (SIR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lpl/sir/liverpool-to-sion) > - [Flights from Cairns (CNS) to Auckland (AKL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cns/akl/cairns-to-auckland) > - [Flights from London (LCY) to Antalya (AYT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lcy/ayt/london-to-antalya) > - [Ryanair](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ryanair-Flights.cFR.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Cars ### Activities > - [Things to do in Comino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Comino.d6048549.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > - [Riverside Museum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riverside-Museum-Glasgow-Westend.d6081491.Attraction) ### General ---
