Really cool space with lots to do. Private room was VERY nice. We had a comfortable bed, very clean space, and a projector with a pull down screen (very cool, never seen in a hostel/hotel room before). Nice views from the rooftop bar. Great location. Wish we stayed longer!

The hotel has a cool Panamanian vibe and hosts travelers from all around the world.

Kirsten

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.

“Loud and pretentious. But clean”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
Overall I didn't like the vibe, I'd definitely put it in the "trying too hard" box. If you're young, and mummy and daddy are financing your travels, you'll probably love this place. It's trendy. There's a record player in every room (no decent records though), a rooftop bar, and they can sort various services for you. Wanna travel the caribbean? They can sort a (overpriced) transfer to another of their hotels out there. Wanna do yoga in a photogenic environment? Get to the roof! Or the beach by some trees. Wanna tattoo? They can hook you up with the parlour upstairs, no problemo. These things are all advertised on various posters around the place. They're basically selling you the full authentic travel experience in a very inauthentic way. Might suit you if trying to squeeze a year's worth of "finding yourself" into a few weeks. Also this is probably the loudest hotel I've ever tried to sleep in. They hand out earplugs at check-in! Probably should have taken that as a warning. There were parties on every floor as far as I could tell, plus noise from the rooftop bar and the street outside. Yes I'm old, it wasn't for me. I'd probably have loved it 15 years ago though, so knock yourself out
I think this place is going for "shabby sheek", it gets one of those right....! The room was clean and tidy, everything is "distressed" looking and vintage-y, which normally I'd like but it didn't feel like a particularly high quality finish to be honest. Maybe I'm just a snob. Anyway it was OK, the bed was comfy and huge, the shower worked well, the bar on the roof had good views and the location is pretty good, right in Casco Viejo and no more than 10 minutes' walk from the good stuff. The area is well worth a visit, and there's probably worse places to stay.

“Nothing like what was advertised. Poor quality tiny room and felt like living in a nightclub”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Room was completely different to what was advertised online as a double bedroom. There was less than half a meter walking room down one side of the bed and the bedroom was in a corridor wall between a very busy corridor going to the nightclub downstairs and the bar upstairs. The shared bathroom had no lock and was not cleaned in the 3 days we stayed there. The music from both the basement nightclub and the bar on the roof was very loud. The room was nothing like the advertised photographs or description and the lack of a lock on a shared bathroom across so many people was unacceptable
Nice communal kitchen and restaurant downstairs

There were always renovations going on in the toilets and the water just didn’t work for some hours. But other than that it was really good.
We really liked the rooftop with the swimming pool, the hang out area in the third floor. we loved that there was a kitchen, and the kitchen was even really big and modern. And the location in Casco Viejo is also super!

A very unique place to stay. The staff is very friendly and always eager to help. My credits to Kobi in particular as he is a great tour guide first of all and can also give awesome tips about how to get around in Panama city. Every hostel needs somebody like that so don't miss out to get in contact with him or join his free walking tour through Casco Viejo!! I would really recommend this hostel to anyone:)

“The noisiest stay in mi life...”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
Our suite's maintenance was not good, the projector didn't work, no AppleTV remote control in the room, dirty shower, towels with holes, no soap... a hotel disaster !! Even for young couples, the hotel is way too noisy, they have a night club in the ground floor, and the noise goes up through the walls... we were on the 4th floor and it sounded as if we were in the night club... Before check-in we had to queue for at least 20 minutes, and the check-in took 15 more minutes... I'd not stay at Selina again.
I'd definitely go for some drinks in the rooftop !

This spot is really for the 30 and under crowd. Median age was likely 22! I wouldn’t suggest it for families with small kids that need sleep. Noisy noisy loud clubbing music until at least 2am each night. Room needed a few fixes - toilet handle and paper holder were broken. Room didn’t have proper bedding and no towels first night. Bed was pretty uncomfortable.
Great location, nice common spaces and friendly staff. Great view of the old town from the rooftop patio.
