Casa Areka features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Panama City. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

The units at the hostel come with a seating area. Very good service! The staff was very nice and helpful both in answering our many questions about the city and how to get around, and when one of our bags got stuck in costa rica they fixed so that we could have one more night on short notice, even though the hostel was almost full. Also the location is very good! Very safe neighborhood, a big supermarket (24h open) very close by and close to the sea, busstops and the cinta costera and the multiplaza mall.

Situated in Panama City, Eden`s Garden Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is located 8.6 km from Estadio Rommel Fernandez, 9.1 km from Rod Carew National Stadium and 11 km from Bridge of the Americas. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and a tour desk for guests. The manager, Nelson and the cleaner Maria Cristina were so friendly and hard working. Nelson offered so many suggestions such as a cheap local gym, what to do in Panama City and even found us a driver for our subsequent trip to Colombia. The free breakfast cooked by Nelson was a great touch, particularly the Colombian huevos pericos and arepas he made. The dorms were great and super private, all having a sliding door to become a capsule. The kitchen was well stocked and always clean, probably the best hostel kitchen we’ve used in Central America. The hammocks on the terrace were great to relax in.

Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace. Free WiFi is available and private parking can be arranged at an extra charge. This was my fourth stay at this hotel. Hotel has hot water unlike many in Central America. Beds were comfortable. WII was decent in room. There is a shared balcony on each floor with a couple plastic chairs. The employees are great. They have always been very helpful. One of the receptioist has decent English language skills. Her English has improved since my first stay. If you turn left as you exit hotel, there is a minimart just past the first cross street. Or turn right at this same cross street (after turning left as you departed hotel) and follow this street. You will arrive at Via Espana near several (maybe 10) different restaurants. Or, turn left at this same cross street, and you are only 1 short block from Via Argentina.
