    The location on the street wasn’t the nicest and farthest down from the ferry terminal

    The shared open door kitchen was by far my favourite part! Just brought so many together while sharing meals and cooking

    Rooms are old, mega humid and (which can be seen on the walls) and quite dirty. Mold is commonplace. Shame, otherwise it'd be fantastic.

    Really good vibes, but that's probably because the people in my dorm were so much fun. The restaurant is really well designed and the food is delicious. Mega worthwhile to boom with breakfast included - probably the best value for money I've experienced in Panama. Events that Selina plan are also really fun, especially the partnership with the Filthy Friday event.

    The micro room was extremely small and not worth the price we paid. Next time we would probably go for a bigger room. Our bedsheets were not clean.

    The hostel is located in a cool area close to all restaurants and clubs and you also get a free welcome drink, so that’s cool to meet new people :)

    Was surprised there was not a water dispenser to cut down on plastic bottle use. Some staff were not particularly friendly.

    Great location in the heart of things, ideal for partying, going to Filthy Friday, or taking boats to the various surf spots. Special shout out to employee Jeancarlo who hooked us up with surfboards and local information and was super friendly and helpful. Thanks so much Jeancarlo!

    We thought the restaurant/bar staff were really rude. They either completely ignored you or made you feel like a nuisance for ordering something.

    The location is good and it’s all super clean. We booked a boat tour through the hostel which was great. Would definitely recommend.

    The water wasnt properly working in the dorm bathroom, also the lamp for my bed didnt work. It was insanely loud in the hostel as it is a party hotspot and I feel that in general the value for money is a bit unproportionate.

    The location is good and the infrastructure and tours Selina organizes for you are great

    Great Nomad Vibe Over the Water!
    • Business trip

    • Economy Standard Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The housekeeping only came in on the first night, the other two nights there was no service to the room. I was not advised that there was no room service since I had a private room (at least the change of towels) that was only done after the first night. For me it was not a problem but I was surprised since I work in tourism. The noise on the weekend, but it was expected for being a saturday night.

    The location is perfect, close to everything and makes it very easy for me to visit clients. The staff is super friendly and could help with any of my questions. The vibe in the afternoon is very relax, so great to do online work from the restaurant overlooking the water. The nightlife is great, drinks in the evening were great, the service is very friendly and great recommendations.

    The bathroom is too small, there needs to be more space to hang our wet clothes to dry. Also, the kitchen utensils, such as the pans and spatula are deteriorated and there was only one spatula available.

    We took the overnight bus from Panama City to Bocas (which was the worst idea I've ever had in my life), so we arrived very early. We asked the girl from reception if we could do an early check-in because we couldn't sleep for the whole night, but it wasn't possible at that time, so she helped us by accommodating us in the movie room so that we could sleep till it was time to check in, which we absolutely loved and are grateful for.

    Check in it’s so late for the flys time in the area, hear some bad stuff from hostal shared room but I guess you get what you paid for, other than that we enjoy the stay. It’s a party area so it’s very noisy.

    We love our room 214 nice view tinny but perfect for the price, would be nice to let us know we needed to bring our own towels. We enjoy our stay

    Could be a bit cleaner, noisy at night although the party stops at around midnight. Food and tours are a bit pricier than in other places around the island
