Hostel El Machico Hostel
AV 5a B Sur, Casa 2 . , Bella Vista, Panama City, Panama – Great location - show map
The bed was comfortable and the shower was clean and got really hot. What’s best is there were outlets by every bed for charging and air conditioning was a plus. The pool was cold but really nice to sit by and socialize. Beer was $1. The staff were great and very attentive. I brought a can of tuna that needed a can open and they didn’t have one. So one staff member opened my can with a knife and the other one went to buy a can opener for later. My tuna heroes!
United States of AmericaVery nice pool area, the staff is very friendly and the rooms are clean. The activities they offer are great. I especially recommend to go on the bike tour.
GermanyThe property itself was very nice, nice bar, nice pool.
United States of AmericaSo clean, so friendly, and had good amenities & offerings!
CanadaI had a great stay here, twice. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful when it came to advice or suggestions. There's water and beer to buy at the hostel which is nice but plenty of room to bring and store you're own. The free bfast each morning is pancakes and was nice not to have to worry about 1 meal a day. The pool was a nice bonus.
United States of AmericaI arrived at 3:30AM at the hostel and I could hang out in the hammocks since it was in the middle of the night! Very nice showers, nice pool and dorms!
CanadaThe pool. The other travelers. The very friendly staff.
United States of AmericaHas pool table, swimming pool, hammocks, nice kitchen. Good to meet new ppl
MexicoIt was clean and pretty quiet overnight. Everyone was very respectful.
United States of AmericaBreakfast was good, dorms and facilities good. I would stay again but think, as a location, the old town is nicer.
