Overpriced for what you get. The “small” rooms are just big enough to fit a bed and the accommodations and bathrooms felt run down. The bedding smelt like mold and the AC did not worked. They run a rooftop party every Friday and Saturday which you can hear from the room, which is fine if you plan on joining but would be hard to sleep through. The staff, coworking area and wifi was the great.

Liked: Cleanliness
The hostel is okay, the ladies only dorm a little bit better than the mixed one. The lockers for valuables in front of the reception for your own personal valuables are either brocken or are about to break. There are lockers in the room as well. At night it was very loud and I missed more shelf’s or hooks in the room. The location is okay, walkable to the old town. As in most hostels the kitchen is… okayish.

Good: Location. Friendly and helpful staffs. Lodging price appears competitive. Poor: Overcharged breakfast price. Terrible: Old & rundown facilities. Room filled with mildew odor. Good & Terrible: Nightly very loud music from 6th floor's open bar until 1:30 am, it made sleeping difficult unless you are a hard rock music lover. The property manager probably should make this unique nightly music presentation feature be more aware of to the prospective customers.

Affordable and in the center of it all!
I've stayed here at this Selina many times and am never disappointed. It is beautifully decorated and the service this time especially was beyond expected. I would recommend for someone who wants to be in the center of the action in old town Panama. It isn't the most peaceful location for sleep, but if you like music and parties, this is the place for you!
