I'd call this place home. Stefany is the most special host I've ever met. She treats everyone absolutely wholeheartedly, helps you in every possible way, even integrates your life into hers by bringing you a lot of love from both her and her family members.. She is capable of all that simply because she loves what she's doing, it's her life instead of just a job.. I'd definitely come back to my "home" no matter how far away I am.. It's a place where all of your worries go away the moment you enter, because she does all the worries for you.. 😄😄😆😆

This was my second time at Casa Areka and can't wait til I can come back again in the future! Such a cozy little hostel, with amazing, funny and super welcoming staff - always makes you feel like you are literally visiting your family from abroad (Jose, Jesus, Mattias <3)! The facilities are in great shape - considering that the price is *extremely* low, especially for Panama City, and the breakfast delicious as well. There are even two cats that often visit the hostel, which only adds to the overall vibe :) Highly recommend a stay, 10/10.

All hostels in Panama City

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Super friendly hostel in great location. Very close to a Rana Dorada craft beer joint and a cheap yet tasty pizza shop. Very near the front, if you want to walk/jog/run along the boardwalk.
