Very affordable and close to the amenities of Casco Viejo. It appears to be a family run business, they are very friendly and nice. It is a good place for backpackers. The location is not for everyone. ##### Jadid Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Yoke 15 Jan 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Strategic location.

The guy who checked us in was lovely and spoke very good English. The place didn't really look like the pictures, it was much more run down and a lot smaller. Easy to miss the entrance for the building too - there's a sign at the top so you know where it is. ##### Emily Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 22 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent location for a low price - very close to Casco Viejo and some very good restaurants. Staff were present, friendly, and helpful. My room had a very functional air conditioner, and a bathroom. The street outside is a brick-paved pedestrian-only shopping street, leading into Casco Viejo. ##### David Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Karen 13 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Location was convenient, room was minimalistic, but relatively clean and comfortable. Fine for the money. Things to note: no hot water and only outlet was near the ceiling - cant charge device like phone or computer like that! We did have a power outage and I had to pack in the dark though. Guy who checked me in was nice and helpful. ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Margaret 1 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 2 nights in town Easy check in, friendly service, awesome laundry rates and in a decent area. Make sure they give you a key to get in at the gate!! They're doing construction so no rooftop area at the moment. Walkable to fish market and Casco Veijo (never felt unsafe). Grocery store nearby. No hot water was the downside, otherwise, for the amount we paid, we were satisfied. ##### Margaret Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Chiara 3 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Value for money ok. It seems as if the accommodation is still being renovated and old rooms are offered which are very outdated. Nevertheless, the host charges a fair price and still endeavours to provide a good room. At first we were not satisfied with the accommodation, but the receptionist (or owner?) then provided us with a better room and even washed all our laundry free of charge as compensation. The location is great! Just a few metres from the centre of Casco Viejo and the underground , bus station. Great to experience life outside the tourist centre. Thanks again for the hospitality! ##### Chiara Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 1 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excelente ##### David Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason 24 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities great location; just a little walk to the old city ##### Jason Stayed 1 night in May 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Eldris 31 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great location to walk around the casco!

It was extremely low cost but also in good condition and very secure. The staff were helpful with getting a taxi and they let me store belongings there before checking in later in the day.

It is located in the neighborhood of Santa Ana, just steps away from Casco Viejo. I was unsure of the location at first because I saw some sketchy areas around but in the end I felt really safe even as a female solo traveler. I even came back for another night after a trip to San Blas islands. It’s located on a pedestrian street across from a supermarket, next to a bakery and around the corner from a “feria” where there are all kinds of stalls of people selling beautiful stuff at a great price. I recommend this place. ##### Anahi Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Terje 21 Nov 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Close to old town You get what you pay for. No hot water and they clean my room only once at my 6 nights stay. I will not stay here again. The only good thing about this place is the people who works there and its a short walk to old town. ##### Terje Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Joydip 20 Dec 2024 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Simple, minimalist, quiet one room priv bathroom on a pedestrian street, in busy, noisy, dirty old town Panama City. Uber can't drop you at the front door. A short walk through an alley with shops during the day, shuttered at night.
