Panama House Bed & Breakfast

Panama House was exactly what I was looking for during my 24hr layover in Panama City. I rented a single private room, though dorm rooms and larger private rooms were available. The very kind woman (I’m terrible with names, or else I would name her) who operates the B&B with her family was extremely helpful to me as I was not well prepared in planning or preparation for my layover. My flight arrived late in the evening and customs took forever, but I called and the woman confirmed I could arrive anytime and assured my check-in would not be troublesome. Luggage lockers were not available in Terminal 2 of PTY, but Panama House very kindly allowed me to leave my bags safely in the B&B while I went out and traveled. I also needed help decided what to do in my short time, and i was on a budget, so the woman at Panama House made recommendations on affordable sightseeing and the best means to get there. Check-out is at noon which was great because I went and hiked in the Metropolitan Natural Park and ate lunch before I had to Uber back to check out. The location of the B&B is great because it is not in the super highfalutin part of town where traffic is a mess, and it centrally located where an uber could get to all the major sights in the same amount of time (Metropolitan Park, Old Panama, Casco Viejo, etc).I wish my layover and time in Panama was longer so I could explore more of the city and experience the great amenities of Panama House including the game room, exercise equipment, outdoor lounge area (cover and uncovered), BIRDS, etc.

This was a lovely hostel. Me and my friend felt extremely safe and calm here. The host was amazing, she gave us recommendations and always had a huge smile on her face. Me and my friend shared a double bedroom which had aircon and a view onto the pet parrot and parakeets. The complimentary breakfast was yummy and just what we needed. This is a great hostel if you are wanting a little oasis from the hustle and bustle of Panama City! The only suggestion would be to bring your own hand soap as there wasn’t any in the bathroom :)

The lady owner is so decent, the place is walkable from a metro station via Argentina, so convenient, comfortable and clean, the kitchen is amazing and well equipped to cook !

Always lovely and satisfactory service! My mom and I stay here whenever we travel to Panama.

Very cozy and quiet. I loved the aesthetics and artworks. The price was very affordable. Check-in was allowed at 4am without a reservation. Staff was very hospitable and friendly. I will definitely visit again.

We could believe that services could be handled so well

Most well stocked kitchen and very friendly people

Nice hot water shower and air conditioner.
