Loved the plants and murals. Vibrant colors and great industrial style keeping the beach vibes.

Mel

Awesome location, along with a chill rooftop bar with beautiful views of the city skyline. The rooms where clean and the staff friendly. The 24hr security made it feel extra safe. A Uber basically anywhere is only a couple of dollars or you can walk everywhere in the old city. Very convenient for a brief stay.

Unfortunately, they don’t have steamer even one single iron for costumers and the shared bathroom for costumers in a private room was really bad. The cleaning, the aspect of the ceiling, the smell... One day I went in 4 of them on my floor and all they had some problem to fix, like the door doesn't lock, flush doesn't work, the toilet was moving when you sit. Overall everything was fine but they should take care better of the restrooms.
Everything specially the location, good vibe and the amazing friendly panameños staff 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. The simple hotel decoration, the bars... super good energy!

The room was MUCH smaller than the photos, so much different that they really shouldn’t be able to sell it for the same price. Floors were dirty and bathroom was not very clean. Overall a fine place to stay but it feels too expensive for what it is.

Very Poor

The hotel is stylish modern. The problem is that it has a roof top bar discotheque that plays horrible loud music until 2 am which sounds as if it is in your room. Furthermore there is a private neighbor who seems to want to destroy the hotels business as he plays load music on the street until 5 am and during the day. We changed hotel after one night and the hotel kindly recharged us the jot used night. So their service is OK but the loudness not. They should have an information on their web site about this so everyone knows in advance and can decide if he can live with it.

The noise. Guests and cleaning staff do not respect the rules of not making noise. They all scream.
They have schedule for everything, to do in the hostel and outside of it, they have restaurant, rooftop view, swimming pool, library, working space, discotheque, pool table. You don’t need to leave the hostel if you don’t want to.

Disappointing

The noise in the evening! It is so damn noisy in all the bulding because of the.music coming from the roof top. You hear the music and feel the vibrations like if you are in the party. It starts from 6-7pm to 04am, and around midnight they level up the volume, crazy. If you go there to have fun, party and have nothing planned early in next morning, Selina is a good choice, but if you want to sleep, don't ever think about to reserve there. Bathrooms doors are commons but cannot be locked. They were dirty and and full of mold, not clean and was always missing paper towel. The check-in registration took a very looooong time (45min).

Room hardly fits the bed for 2, so there is almost no space for anything else. Sheets had stains, the wifi doesn't work in the room. Cleaning or construction in the hostel (it seamed both) started in the morning, they were hitting the walls of our room, several times during the morning, so we couldn't sleep. No extra effort from the stuff in the front desk, for anything you ask.
nice rooftop bar. If you came to Casco Viejo to party, and just crush for the night, this is a place for you.

Selina has, why so ever, a central control system for their acs. So even tho we where in a double room, we couldn't get our own remote and ended up running down to the reception several times to ask for change. They tried but failed as their system overruled it every time. We ended up sleeping without ac. Also it is very very loud on weekends but that's actually a known fact if you come to Selina, just saying it anyway.
Very nice big double room with a huge bathroom. Very good price for what you get.

The room was tiny! It only just fitted the bed and there was nowhere to put the luggage. We couldn't even place it under the bed! At night and in the morning there is alot of noise. The doors to each room are very loud and there is no sound insulation. We did not sleep very well on all three nights we stayed here.
The Rooftop Bar and Tacos resturaunt has a great view of the modern sky scrappers. Also the hostel is located in the heart of the Old Town so is great for taking in the sites.

We were on the 5th floor and so the music, bar and blenders on the roof were incredibly loud, it was like everyone was in our room with us. The staff were helpful but there were always huge queues at reception, we waited 25 mins to check in. Breakfast was really slow, there were lots of staff but it wasn’t very well organised, we were there an hour and 15 mins in total. The hostel was on a bit of a dodgy road with some ladies of the night working at the top end. There were only 4 sun beds next to the pool on the roof.
The rooms were stylish, well designed and clean, bed was comfortable. Breakfast choices were good and tasty. The pool table was nice and great views from the roof.

“The Bog of Eternal Stench ”

When I arrived to the hostel, it was obvious my floor was under construction however the water was not working. Told management and still by the evening, no water and had to shower/wash on other floors - not a big deal though. Problem was: every bathroom was covered in poop. Toilets overflowing (for more than 24 hours), poop ON the garbage cans. And bathrooms without garbage cans had poop toilet paper just strewn about the floor..... for days. It was like a Stephen King horror, let’s call it “The Filth.” Fine, let’s just say a few unfortunate souls were suffering from THE REVENGE, okay. To top it off, the front desk staff were absolutely miserable. Perhaps because they were overworked as there was a constant 45 minute line-up to check in. I know this because I had to do it twice. Selina, babe, you’re just not worth it. The showers didn’t have shower curtains so even racing for a quick pee felt like I was traipsing through a small swamp that was again, fecal-filled. Hey man, I am a backpacker and have a decent tolerance for dirt but this was beyond unacceptable - it was downright unhygienic. Selina, I beg you, finish your properties before you fill them with people because having hoards of folks touch things that aren’t complete just means you have to start over. The same thing was visible in Selina Tamarindo and your prices just don’t match the product - STEP UP YOUR GAME, BRO. It felt like I was staying in a frat house which isn’t necessary with far better options close by. AVOID and just go for a drink on their patio instead. (I did take photos but felt a fool attempting to share various photos of human matter online and didn’t want that crap (literally) to take up storage on my phone)
