Vandrarhem i Panama Canal Zone

“Where to even start? Probably by saying this is hands down the worst hotel I ever stayed at, the room was at least passable, but no more than that, the worst part was the ac, it was barely functional, the temperature knob was simply missing, it was set to 'off' (see picture), yet it ran at full blast, roaring like a wild beast, so you had to unplug and plug it to get the temperature right, and the noise meant that it was impossible to sleep with it on, due to this I woke up in the middle of the...

“Viajero Panamá is welcoming, and perfectly located. Great staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and lively common areas make it easy to connect with other travelers.

“The address listed at hotels.com was wrong. Fortunately someone was near the "old site" and gave us directions (sort of). Since we had an unexpected prolonged walk, we were caught in a tropical rain storm, and on arrival (drenched) a 3% surcharge was added for using a credit card (not mentioned). Housing was simple, small, a bit cramped, but adequate for price. Phot0 of room did not match at all. People friendly, room cleaning during stay non-existent. All and all, ok backpacker's place”

“The manager was very nice. Close to some good restaurants.”

“Really friendly staff. Open 24/7. Nice location close to the beach and the old town. Fresh comfortable beds. Would highly recommend!”
