    I stayed at Blu Hostel for my trip to Panama City. My stay was great with plenty of positive features to mention. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was safe and convenient. There were many restaurants, coffee shops, and supermarkets nearby. The room had a self-contained kitchen and private bathroom, which was perfect for my needs. The kitchen had a full gas stove, fridge, and basic utensils for cooking. The air conditioning worked well in the hot and humid weather. I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at Blu Hostel.

    I do recommend this hotel.

    As a solo traveler, I loved the self-contained kitchen in my room. It had everything I needed to cook small meals. the private bathroom was clean and had all the necessary amenities. the air conditioner worked well, which was essential in the hot and humid weather. the staff were friendly and helpful, and the hostel's location was convenient with easy access to supermarkets, restaurants, and transportation options. the 'no noise' policy ensured a peaceful atmosphere for a good night's sleep. the hostel also offered a reliable laundry service.

    Felt like a true getaway, nothing too much trouble.

    Blu Hostel exceeded our expectations! The location is convenient, with supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The neighborhood is safe and walkable. The host was fantastic, providing excellent service. The rooms were spacious, with a big balcony on each floor. The A/C and hot shower worked well. We are excited for the upcoming additions like the pool and rooftop bar. Highly recommended!

    Nothing not to like.

    We had a great stay at this hostel! The room was spacious and had a kitchen, perfect for cooking our own meals. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. The shower had good water pressure and hot water, which was refreshing. The airconditioning kept us cool during our stay. The location was convenient, with the metro and little supermarkets and bakeries nearby. The area felt safe and it was a great base for exploring Panama-City. The woman at reception was extremely helpful when our flight was cancelled. She let us use the hostel phone and even called us an Uber for our early morning airport trip. We are so grateful for her assistance!

    Nothing I didn't like to be fair. 😊

    Great location in a vibrant area with plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. The staff were friendly and accommodating, allowing us to check-in early and store our luggage until our evening check-out. We also appreciated the loan of $5 when the taxi driver didn't have change.

    The room itself seemed a bit neglected, with some sink and electrical outlet issues. The furniture and curtains were also of a lower quality.

    I recently stayed at a hostel in Panama City and had a great experience at Blu. The staff were friendly and accommodating, allowing us to check in early and hold our backpacks until the evening. The room was spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed and a smart TV. The kitchen was well-equipped with plenty of utensils, and the WiFi was excellent. The location was convenient, with a nice walk into town and a great balcony for enjoying some sun. I was impressed with the hospitality and amenities at Blu.

    Nothing, all was good! 👍
