Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The guest house has family rooms.

I have never experienced such kind helpful staff. Manuel goes above and beyond to help. When we arrived we were having contacting a airline to arrange a ticket refund- he could not have been more helpful and with success. Whilst in Panama we were subject to petty crime and Manuel contacted the Police and came with us to the station to make a statement . We had a bigger room . It was quiet, very clean with a comfortable bed and pillows. The WiFi worked well and the room had air-con. The kitchen was well equipt and we cooked a few meals. The staff will do your laundry on site for $6 a load. Excellent location- lots of shops ( food stores) and restaurants nearby. Via Argentina is a 10-15min walk. All in all we were so pleased that we chose Hostel IBRAIS - we came back for another stay! (Manuel stored our bags and had helped organise a San Blas tour)

Nice comfortable and clean air conditioned rooms. Relatively quiet location for being in city center. The pool is a bonus being hot and humid. Enjoyed the morning breakfast with the standard and two other options at a fair price. Surrounded with conveniences.

Many thanks to the whole family of landlords! A very friendly and enthusiastic family. The daughter can communicate in English and is available 24 hours. All requests were handled immediately and satisfactorily. The location is very good, within walking distance to the subway, park, many restaurants, supermarkets, and various stores. The whole street is a very elegant residential area, very quiet. Parking is convenient. There is a spacious backyard. The room, bed, bathroom, air conditioning, refrigerator, lighting, and soundproofing are all good. The communal kitchen is convenient and clean. I will stay here next time if I have a chance to come back Panama.

    Cheapest hostel in Ciudad de Panama. They have rooms for 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 people. AC, but no hot water. Lockers. Good location in Paitilla, close to Casco Antiguo via Cinta Costera, walking (one hour) or by metro bus. Easy to go to Panama Viejo as well by metro bus. Easy to came (and to go to) from Tocumen Internacional Airport by metro up to Iglesia del Carmen station. Yes, they have a free breakfast with coffee. For me it was OK to stay in this place like nine nights. Thank you, guys! 😊

    Nice hostel in a quiet location with a pool, perfect place to start your trip in Panama. Staff were friendly and helpful and helped me chase up my delayed baggage. I stayed in the dorm, which had lockers. Bathroom was a little rundown but ok. No hot water in showers but Panama is hot so it was ok. Great breakfast included in your stay.

    We arrived in Hostel Wunderbar from Panama City the day before we headed on our boat trip of the San Blas Islands from Linton Bay Marina. It was the perfect place to rest up before our boat trip. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful - organising a taxi for us the next morning to get to the Marina. It is a quiet Hostel with everything you need for a short stay.

    An absolute legend of a host, super friendly and easy to chat with. The pool is an highlight, a great escape from the hot Panamanian heat. Big security gates help you feel safe, nice chill open lounge areas, basic breakfast and comfy beds with AC in the rooms. Good wifi speeds and easy Uber into the city centre. Great value for money

    The hostel was clean and comfortable and good value for money. The hostel was quite quiet when I arrived but after a few more days it was quite busy and had a nice buzz about it and I got talking to some cool people. There is a bar that sells cheap beer and the pool was very nice after hot day walking around city.
