Strategic location.
Uncomfortable and sense 'passive-agressive' vibes.
Extend my stay at another wonderful similarly priced hotel nearby, same location. Go there !

Location was convenient, room was minimalistic, but relatively clean and comfortable. Fine for the money.
Things to note: no hot water and only outlet was near the ceiling - cant charge device like phone or computer like that!
We did have a power outage and I had to pack in the dark though.
Guy who checked me in was nice and helpful.

Too good to be true!
I was excited to discover a hostel that had a regular hotel room feel! $25/nt! Boy, was I wrong! There was only 1 bed. ✔️ An ensuite bathroom. ✔️ Close to the grocery store and near the night life. ✔️ But it was rundown and, while clean, the stains on everything left it feeling dirty. The room didn’t have a window. And my driver told me what areas not yo go to after dark. While I wasn't afraid or disgusted, it just wasn't for me. I checked out and found another hotel. Note to self: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

Close to old town
You get what you pay for. No hot water and they clean my room only once at my 6 nights stay. I will not stay here again. The only good thing about this place is the people who works there and its a short walk to old town.

Simple, minimalist, quiet one room priv bathroom on a pedestrian street, in busy, noisy, dirty old town Panama City.
Uber can't drop you at the front door. A short walk through an alley with shops during the day, shuttered at night.
Learn a little spanish!

As a Hostel close to Casco Viejo, La Cigarra is a good option. Very affordable and close to the amenities of Casco Viejo.
It appears to be a family run business, they are very friendly and nice.
It is a good place for backpackers.
The location is not for everyone.
