Panama House Bed & Breakfast

I had a great experience at Panama House Bed and Breakfast. The ownership is family-style and they maintained a very homey, cozy environment. I felt very taken care of my stay - the hosts are very warm, hospitable, and accommodating.

Panama House B&B offered a welcoming, homey place to stay for a couple nights before moving onto other parts of the country. The staff were all incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. There was ample common space to hang out, and a well-stocked kitchen to use for cooking or storing food. Everything was pretty clean. Breakfast was simple but good including the fresh juice, with heartier options available for a small cost. The room was small but had ample shelving/storage space plus nightstands and a sizeable bathroom with hot shower. My main complaint was the noise...there are no posted (or enforced) quiet hours, and it was frustrating to arrive exhausted after a 14 hour travel day and not be able to sleep, even in a private room, due to people partying and playing ping pong outside my room on the common space. The pet birds will definitely wake you up in the morning, which wouldn't have been bad if people didn't make noise till midnight. However it was a bit isolated from the street noise which was nice. Overall I would recommend this place, you can't beat it for the price!

Absolutely loved this place! I was in the 6-bed shared dorm, for just under $11/night and it was amazing. Really nice place and you can tell them have invested a lot in making it nice, and keeping it nice. It was quiet and very friendly. Has a good shared kitchen and a big backyard with eating area. I will definitely be back!

Excellent location within walking distance to metro stations, shopping and restaurants, without being noisy or on busy street. Super friendly attention. Nice and cosy rooms and social areas with table-tennis, billiards, library and a garden patio. Fully equipped kitchen, and still breakfast included.

We had a lovely trip to Panamá House Bed and Breakfast! Such a great host. We really enjoyed our glamping room and the communal spaces. They offer a clothes washing service which is excellent too. It’s in a slightly quieter area but it’s not far to get into busier areas. The parrots are a little noisy but it didn’t really bother us :)

When it was time to leave, I felt as if I was saying goodbye to family. That's how I'd like to start my review. The owners and the staff are wonderful - warm, caring people. They go above and beyond to assist you and guarantee that you have a great time in Panama. Location is very good - a 10 min walk from the Via Argentina subway station (I took public transit everywhere, including from and to the airport - and it costs 25 cents). Also, it's close to the Obarrio and El Cangrejo zones, both filled with restaurants and stores. The hostel itself is simple (you can tell it's an old house), but comfortable; I stayed in a dorm and also in a tent, no complaints. Breakfast includes toast, coffee, and a fruit, which was enough for me. Shared bathrooms were ok - shower with strong water pressure and cold/hot water. I also enjoyed the common area; they have a bird that starts "talking" early, so I never slept past 7 am (bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper). WiFi worked well during my stay as well. In summary, I'd recommend Panama House B&B.

It’s a great hostel with amazing people who try to help you always. They even gave me their private mattress to make a workout. Clean, airconditioned during the night, nice dorm, billiard, kitchen for use, free drinking water and ice cubes. The price is amazing and subway close and super easy (and cheap) to use. Highly recommended.

Loved Panama House and would definitely stay there again. I had a small private room with shared bath. It was spartan (good AC, no TV) and a bit worn but VERY clean. The breakfast was very basic - really just coffee and toast. However, they do have a full kitchen if you want to buy your own food.|What I liked best about it though was its location. The Congrejo/Bella Vista area is actually quite nice with stores and restaraunts in easy walking distance. It is also a VERY safe area so you can come and go at all hours.|Most importantly it had excellent access to the Metro which was about 4 blocks away. For exploring Panama City you really want to be by the Metro as it gives you easy access to everything. If you stay in the Casco Viejo, for example, you will be far from the Metro and either have to do lots of walking (through less safe areas) or take taxis all the time.|The door to the front of Panama is always locked but I never had any problem being buzzed in promptly. Apparently if you arrive late at night you may have to call someone on WhatsApp for the door to be opened. The WiFi was quite good.|Good price, very clean and excellent location. I'll be back.
