I booked here for 3 weeks starting January 4, 2023. When I arrived on Jan 4, it was simply awful. I did not even check in after I saw the room and went to stay elsewhere. There was garbage all over the front of the building. There was no security because the front door was left unlocked - the bolt lock left ajar for everyone. The elevator was broken. The air was not working and it was very hot and humid. The first room had no window in the bedroom, and the second room the linens and pillows were yellowish and grossly lumpy. I had paid in full almost 1,000USD. They have refused to provide a refund or any sort. To this day when I continue to ask for my refund they provide stock meaningless answers like it has gone to their acounting dept - but it ends there week after week, They claimed they did not know how to refund over PAYPAL so I sent them the refund link as did PAYPAL - but they ignored it. What you see online is not what you get. I would not recommend staying here - there are far better more honest and cleaner places in this area of Panama City.

Sadly the management does not know how to manage a hostel - They are nice, but it seems they don't know what to do. Starting from putting too small mattresses into the bed frame which make the entire back part useless, over glazed doors which move so hard that you're afraid to break to them to letting people partying/make noise starting from 10pm to 5am. Almost everyday there were someone screaming in the floors, loudly listen to music on the shared balcony our having a loudly meetup long after midnight. The management have no problem with renting out apartments with clear mold problems. Walls were wet. Closet was full of mold so unusable. Our AC was full of black mold. After we showed pictures of the problem they sent a company cleaning the AC. The AC was not cleaned several month for sure! The room smelled still moldy after the cleaning. Most pans of the kitchen were kind of useless. Heavily used. Full of old, burned in fat. Last highlight: We were asked to do a copy of the main door keys on our own. We were glad the could move out some days further and don't need to come back. EDIT: Response is quite sad as well. We stated clearly when we need a room. So we never had an "early arrival on our reservation". After we visited the place we were asked what we like to pay. We were no night given to take a decision. What kind of decision? We were offered to switch to another room with mold problems. "we are a hostel that lives outside the established rules, because we cannot limit the rest of the people around you because you did not like the rest, the guests will talk or live together together." That's part of the problem. You should handle that. If you think it's normal that people are hanging around on the shared balcony listen to music and arguing until 3am you definitely should remove the notes in the elevator how that the guest should be quiet and respect others in their rooms and the shared places if it's not what you want and what you stand for. Not understanding my comments seems part of the problem. We stayed less than we paid upfront.

Simple, quiet, clean, good location and inexpensive. I was a bit difficult to find online a good inexpensive place to stay in Panama City. Luckily I found Blu Hostel, I'm very satisfied with my stay. I would recommend this place to everyone!!

Nice hostal, good price value, loved the balcony. Clean and good WiFi

Nice spot in the center of the town , there is a nice terrace in the rooftop. And a great cervezeria just 200m about av.argentina . It's called La rana dorada.

Room could have been cleaner, friendly staff. We spent three nights there, left for two nights to go to the san blas islands, could store our luggage at the hostel for 1$ per night and person (so in total 4$), and came back for one night.

Clean rooms, hot showers, friendly staff and very well located close to shops, restaurants and subway. Balcony rooms also offer great views of the city. Just a pity the kitchen facilities are so minimal.

Studying at SpanishPanama so it was a very quick convenient walk. Super quiet in the hostel, fairly quiet as far as city noise goes. Mostly reliable internet. No pets, even small ones, which was bad for me, especially when most of Panama is pet friendly. No hassles and quick responses to any questions or concerns. Great city view at night.

Clean room and Kind staff. Thank you very much

Really nice hostel, it's clean and the beds are confortable! The staff is great!

(Translated by Google) It's starting but it's enough (Original) Está empezando pero es muy suficiente

Clean facility and friendly staff, would be happy to stay here again.

(Translated by Google) Personally, I found it cozy and good (Original) En lo personal me pareció acogedor y bueno

Nice prices. Clean rooms

(Translated by Google) Great place and good location. Rooms large and clean, equipment seems new. The downside is the noise during the day because the upper part of the hotel is under renovation. (Original) Świetne miejsce i dobra lokalizacja. Pokoje duże i czyste, wyposażenie wydaje się nowe. Minusem jest hałas w ciągu dnia, ponieważ górna część hotelu jest w remoncie.

Clean and quiet! They could do better by redecorating the common area to something more attractive.. not a very good place to meet people..

If you are looking for a clean hostel with no extras this should work well. They are still under construction but was quiet at night. The location is walking distance to restaurants but it would be nice if they offered coffee in the future. There is secure parking.

If you are looking for a safe place, clean, cheap and good vibe then this is your shot. the place is run by an Israeli guy named Saar, the guy Rock's. best place so far.

the location is good and is a save zone in the city with good public transport conections

Good location and walking distance to restaurants and supermarkets. Definitely not the most clean place I’ve stayed in, but was cheap and okay for the amount of time I was there.

Perfect for budget price. Had a private room with large balcony. Room was clean. Great location with shops and restaurants close by.

Affordable, conveniently located in popular area, and staff is very kind and attentive. However, the internet is poor, there are ants, the fridge barely works, and the smart tvs are not smart at all, Good stay for those who plan to eat out often and are true minimalist.

Good value for the money and in a nice and touristic area but the day I was there, there was no staff in the morning so if someone is going out it's better to tell in advance in order to get inside again.

LOTS OF NOISE from near construction forget about sleep after 8am, very bad internet very low speed. Well located, Jewish owners...

Was okay, just a room which is what we needed. It's central to most things..

Very satisfied of our visit there! Location is close to the metro and mosot of city buses. Also, close to many restaurants. Quiet place but street little bit dirty. Employees are extremely kind and they can answer your questions. It is clean and quiet. Great price/quality. 4 stars instead of 5 because of : 1. Pillows are completely destroyed. 2. The kitchen is very small (same for the fridge) and lack of dishes and utensils. Also no place to eat properly. I still recommend :)

Basic room with bathrom and kitchen. The staff is not very welcoming except the one girl at the reception.

(Translated by Google) Very clean nice excellent service very well located and the best price suitable (Original) Muy limpio agradable la atención excelente muy bien ubicado y lo mejor precio adecuado

Good option

Sparking clean

(Translated by Google) Find many places near the hotel are in walking around can feel safe and comfortable area close to a lot of small supermarkets, we lived in apartment type, kitchen utensils count complete, easy to own cooking. With elevator, air conditioning, on the whole very good, a little at a distance from public transportation, ride more convenient Uber Hot water in our room is not very stable, not sure why the problem (Original) 地點鄰近蠻多星級飯店，在周遭散步可以感覺到是安全和舒適的區域，鄰近有很多小超市，我們住的是公寓房型，廚房的器具算齊全，自己煮食方便。有電梯、有空調，整體來說很不錯，離公共運輸稍微有一段距離，乘坐Uber比較方便 我們房間的熱水沒有很穩定，不確定問題為何

(Translated by Google) Very clean. Great location. Staff very helpful. You can count on help in every case. Spacious rooms, bathroom comfortable and clean. Internet TV. Big room space. Well-equipped kitchenette, fridge. Location very convenient for visiting the city on foot or by metro - subway stop 300 m. Car rentals close to 300 m. Center - 300-500 m. The old town 3 km along the promenade so you do not feel the distance on foot. I highly recommend as a base with a comfortable rest in the evening. Good price. It is possible to organize transport to the airport. (Original) Bardzo czysto. Super lokalizacja. Personel bardzo pomocny. Można liczyć na pomoc w każdej sprawie. Pokoje przestronne, łazienka wygodna i czysta. Telewizja internetowa. Duża przestrzeń pokoju. Aneks kuchenny dobrze wyposażony, lodówka. Położenie bardzo dogodne do zwiedzania miasta na pieszo lub metrem - przystanek metra 300 m. Wypożyczalnie samochodów blisko- 300 m. Centrum - 300-500 m. Stare miasto 3 km wzdłuż promenady więc nie odczuwa się odległości na pieszo. Polecam gorąco jako bazę wypadową z wygodnym wypoczynkiem wieczorem. Atrakcyjna cena. Możliwość organizacji transportu na lotnisko.
