    Came in to breathe a different air from my current neighborhood and the experience here at Hostal Amador Family was pleasant. I booked through their website with ease. The female dormitory and bathroom was neat, clean and with cool AC and hot water for the shower. The kitchen was clean and welcoming. Plenty of refrigerators to store food if you want to cook on premises. The atmosphere is chill with a few hammocks to enjoy in their backyard as well. The area is a bit noisy outside do to ongoing traffic but once indoors, the noise level is barely there. Ms. Elizabeth and the rest of the fam are very easy going, welcoming and respectful. I'm sure to return if time permits while I live in Panama. The location is perfect for different outings and there is ample transportation around.

    This accommodation is simply the best. We had an accident and then went to the Hostel Amador. When we arrived and the owners saw the wounds, we were immediately doctored by them and they took care of us. Not just a band-aid, but disinfection, healing ointment and bandages. The complete program. Unbelievable how helpful you are there. No matter what it is, they are always there with friendly support. The rooms are absolutely clean, the bed very comfortable and the air conditioning works great.

    Thus was a good place to stay while in town. The rooms were spacious and clean with good air conditioning. The only difficulty was getting to my room on the 3rd floor with heavy luggage. It is also an old building, so you can hear other people easily and the hot water is not constant and the water pressure is not great. However, if you are prepared for a hostal, the staff is very friendly and helpful and the common areas are great for hanging out. There are refrigerators to use and a kitchen area out back.

    Great value if you’re traveling on a budget. Friendly staff, decent room (keep in mind it’s less than 40$ a night!), clean enough for me. Water in the shower is warm, a/c works. Breakfast options available, ask the receptionist.

    I highly recommend this place. The hostal has its own taxi service and airport shuttle for a fair price (it's Felipe. He and his wife manage the place). Good restaurant and souvenir shop in walking distance. Ask reception for more information

    I loved this place and would happily stay again. The rooms were simple but clean and pretty. The common areas were also clean. The breakfast was awesome. They made sure I had gluten-free food (my first toast in over a month!), and non-dairy milk to drink (that was a completely unexpected treat), fresh fruit and so much more that I couldn't clear my plate. The staff were friendly and helpful, they helped with transportation to/from the airport and around Panama City. They can give you recommendations of where to go and what to see. The only downside is that being in a residential area there aren't restaurants or food stores within walking distance. Defo recommend. <3

    Excellent hospitality. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The place is older and quite homey. Free coffee and simple breakfast and very basic rooms. Coin laundry worked fine. Clean enough and shower was nice and hot. A fantastic value at such a low price. I recommend👍🏽

    I had a lovely two night stay at Hostal Amador Familiar. I arrived later on in the evening and Janet greeted me upon arrival. I stayed in a dorm room with A/C that was clean and had comfortable beds. There's an outdoor kitchen for use and breakfast was included. Felipe gave me advice on how to get to take a quick bus ride to the Biomuseo and the Amador causeway where you can see the Bridge of America's. The location was great, a short cab ride to casco viejo. Janet opened the kitchen at five am to offer me breakfast before my very early flight. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back the next time I'm in Panama.

    Convenient to Amador and Panama City. Nice place for inexpensive price. Definitely a hostal environment. Shared main kitchen. Private in room bathroom. Comfy but small bed. Very pleasant manager team. Phillipe speaks English.

    This hostal is an amazing place to stay! The hosts are super friendly and if you need some information or help, they will help you. The rooms are clean and the bed is realy comfy! Behind the hostal they have a place to eat and cook outside where you can meet other friendly people from all over the world. By the way, I also recommend to stay there i you have kids.

    Wifi does not work outside the lobby. Air conditioning barely works. Mattress is an old spring mattress where you can feel the metal. The pillows feel like a bag of cotton balls. Horrible sleep quality. Shower was nice with good pressure and hot water. This place needs work.

  • 5/5 SaM D. 4 years ago on Google
    We had a wonderful time at the hostal. We had a private room on the third floor with air conditioning. The room was small but confortable and the matress was great. Kitchen privilages make a big difference for anyone on a budget. Breakfast was included and we made a lunch to take with us. We were usually back at the hostal to make dinner. No hugh grocery store near by so we hopped on the bus just around the corner and went to Albrook mall. Other items we just picked up at one of the 3 near by markets. We enjoyed walks down the Amador causeway. Great Kotowa coffee shop inside the Biomuseo. Buses were easy to use and there is an online application that will even tell you when the bus will be arriving at your stop. We opted to use Uber at night...cheap! The folks at Hostal Amador familiar were the best. Always so pleasant and helpful. Our 13 nights there went by quickly. It is nice go know that they are there for us on our next visit. Thank for everything. SaM and David

  • 5/5 PYUREH'S A. 6 years ago on Google
    If you want a quiet ,cool place and meet new people from all over the world, then this is the hostel to live in... The people are generous,loving and kind. It's is cheap and affordable. You can also cook your own meals so you don't need to go to the restaurants daily. It's located right across the main road. The ATMs and shops are quite near. It's 10mins to the Albrook Mall which is the largest mall in Panama. The hospitality is incredible. I highly recommend to stay here.
