Great location with a cute balcony stellar views of the ocean. The room was very nicely decorated and the staff was super nice.

Mai United States of America

I want to thank the Staff (although this review is kinda late) our flight was delayed about 10 hours when we were departing and we decided to go back to Selina, after the crazy delay from the airline, and they were super nice towards us! They let us keep our luggage in the storage and utilize the amenities in the hostel since we stayed there 2 nights.I have to say all the employees go above and beyond and are super friendly!

      The air inside the room was not really good (very humid, hot and smelly) maybe because there is mold on the ceiling. Unfortunately there was very loud music during the whole night and on our check-out day we had no light and electricity in the whole hostel, so bad luck for us.

      The room was clean and nice, the rooftop terrace is amazing and also the Mexican food there is so good! The view over Panama and the skyline is breathtaking! They also offer yoga classes at the rooftop, which were really good and the best way to start the day. The yoga teacher was very good, friendly and it was a perfect lesson! The guys at the reception always try to find solutions and help out with suggestions and answers - thanks to everyone!

      “Best hostel in Panamá - Don’t miss out!”
      • • Leisure trip

      • • Stayed 2 nights
      • • Submitted from a mobile device

      The rooms are anything but soundproof. Sure, you’re offered free ear plugs on arrival. But if you have to set an alarm that’s barely a solution. On the fifth floor you’re sleeping below the party rooftop. Don’t sleep on the 5th if you’re in for a good night sleep. In addition, we’ve experienced some 4am crying-our-loud teenage drama on the hallway. No one from the staff seems to be in control or overlooking the peace and quiet at night. Which meant hostel guests are taking control themselves and angrily confronting one another in the middle of the night after being woken up... well... it doesn’t make the situation any more peacefully. Although activities are great, some things just don’t make sense. For example: happy hour is only at the lobby bar downstairs and not at the bars on the rooftop. So you have to go six floors down, get your drinks, then go six floors up again. Just to get the same drinks offered on the rooftop for half price 🤷🏾‍♂️. They also seriously need more elevators. The line is just as big as at the airports passport control.

      10 Activities 9 Facilities 10 Beds 8 Service 8 Bathroom 9 Cleanliness 9 Breakfast options First of all: this is the best hostel option by far. So don’t bother looking elsewhere. Activities, rooftop terrace and amazingly decorated rooms are amazing... but there are definitely some points of improvement. We’ve booked a suite and that’s an amazing option. Apple TV, Beamer, sound bar, big room, great beds and clean rain shower with hot water. Even an old fashioned record player. Everything in an amazing decor. I would recommend that for the price for that suite a change (or additional) of towels is surely something that could’ve been expected. Other than that, the room’s perfect.

      Noice nuisances were horrible, the bar closes at 3am till it closes you wont sleep. So bring your ear plugs. Airco in the room was positioned aiming at the bed which is uncomfortable Our toilet flush was broken when the room got cleaned, reported but no one came to fix

      The room decoration, the vibe of the place is modern and comfortable Bathroom was nice too, gave an outdoor feeling to it. Hotel organises daily activities and you can for sure find something. There is also a library and coworking space.

      Probably the loudest "hostel" we've stayed in so far. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything happening in the rooms around you, and I mean everything. Construction on the rooftop 6:50am one morning and throughout the day. Sounded like people dragging chairs back and over on the rooftop for our entire stay. Room was far too small for two people with luggage. Not many shared bathrooms on our floor. Selina's are not hostels, they are boutique hotels with expensive food and tours and no hostel atmosphere. It's mainly people more concerned with Instagram pictures than experiencing new cultures.

      Good location in the old town close to lots of interesting buildings, restaurants and nice to walk around. Room had AC. Good WiFi. Great rooftop bar and pool with excellent views.

      There was a power cut around 0930 on the day of checkout and all the water was stopped as well ( the staff did offer us a much later checkout to compensate for not being able to shower). The music from the rooftop bar was vibrating through the building past midnight down to the fourth floor where our room was.

      The location, helpful staff and deluxe room were all awesome. It was right in Casco Viejo, so minimal walking to/around the old town. The deluxe room had an amazing view of Panama city skyline and the bed was the most comfy I have experienced in my month in Central America.

      We just stayed for one night and arrived on a Friday night. There was a party going on on the rooftop so it was quite noisy on that day. Maybe during the week it is more quiet. The hotel is located on the street and you could hear the loud music from the rooftop. Some guest went to bed quite drunk and did not respect that other guests where sleeping.

      On the rooftop is a taco restaurant and a bar with the possibility to dance and party. You can have a good time up there with an amazing view on the skyline of Panama City. I also liked the community area with the possibility to read and exchange books and just relaxe for a while.

      The hotel was over noisy almost 7/24. It is impossible to sleep if you are staying on the 5th floor. The room was not clean including the sheets and towels.

      Location was good

      It is very noisy, but very... Until late hours at night you here a lot of music. The room was okay but small. Price/ value wise we thought it was overcharged. The staff at the reception is of mixed friendliness. But overall we didn’t feel welcome and when asking for something, we felt mostly being annoying to them. Lastly, the diner at the ground floor is extremely overpriced. The meals are good (except the Selina breakfast) but very pricey for what was offered.

      The location is very central! The rooftop is nice with the pool, the bar and the taco’s :)

      the communal kitchen has ridiculously little material and the fridge is too small for so many people. They dont put on the airconditioning in the communal kitchen so its a very hot place to cook. the pool is bit dirty, could be better. There is no laundry service

      nice location with all facilities. a lot of people come to this hostel, so it is always busy. the noise from the rooftop bars in the area is not disturbing ( we didnt need earplugs) BUT i think we got lucky with our room 433, it was not on the streetside ( streetside = lots of traffic noise)

      Very noisey, even after 11pm, the music was still playing quite loud. Not suitable for light sleepers who want to go to bed early ;)

      very slow check-in process, be prepared to wait. paid by card, nobody mentioned the credit card fee that was added, this is unprofessional. It can get very loud in the evenings due to the rooftop bar, if you are a light sleeper, this location is probably not for you.

      Rooftop bar was nice, but quite full. The whole hostel is really stylish, I very much liked that. Reasonable prices, perfectly situated in Casco Viejo. Shuttle service to airport was provided which was reliable and cheaper than a taxi.

      Bring earplugs to sleep. The party lasts until well into the early hours of the morning. The line to check in can be a little long.

      The Selina met our expectations. The staff we encountered were all very friendly and helpful. The rooftop pool and bar were a nice place to unwind in the afternoon. The location is good with shops, restaurants, bars, churches, museums, etc all within walking distance. Easy to Uber to and from this location. The airport is about 25-30 minutes away via the toll road.
