Panamá Majatalot

Plussat: Friendly staff and great location. Very homely!

Plussat: Very Nice čˇclean for couple

Miinukset: Can be lower price

Plussat: The place is perfect. it's a lovely Hostel . The hospitality and friendlines of the employes are great. The location is very centric and have facilities around like supermarkets, parks and accessibility to walk or get a taxi to the Casco Viejo. The “Cinta Costera” waterfront park is close from the Hostel. They offer free Wi Fi.

Miinukset: It's not exactly that I didn't like but I would recommend them to probably add something to the breakfast. Every day we had toast, coffee, peanut butter, jelly (which is good) but probably like they could add some proteins like eggs, bacon or any Panamanian typical food like corn fritters at least one of the days. It would be good if the tourist can taste something of the amazing Panamanian menu. However this is not a problem because the supermarket (Riba Smith) is behind the street and you can go and buy any breakfast or lunch.

Plussat: It is lucky to meet the best hostel in the first day. Came back a second time too. Month into the trip, still the best hostel. Room, Air-condition (the best so far), Bath (the best too) and the team - they make the hostel - Valentina, Cezar, Helena and Johana the owner. Awesome people. They held a "Peruvian" artisan show. So the hostel was full with many local people and the vibe was perfect for a traveler.

Miinukset: Was sad to check out.

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff, nice interior and vibes, breakfast

Miinukset: I booked a room, AC was hard to adjust, it was either cold or too warm.

Plussat: Staff were really friendly and informative! Kitchen was large and air con was strong in the room!

Miinukset: It’s subjective but I didn’t really like the quirkiness of the Hostal but everyone is different!

Plussat: There is a supermarket near by which was convenient if needing something. Easy to take Uber in Panama City, nice iced water, somewhat nice kitchen

Miinukset: How do I even begin with this review, first I was charged 30 dollars for an one-way pick up from the airport, I don’t even pay 30 dollars in America. The room is not very clean; I had hair under my pillow on the first night. Safety is also a concern. The room is so hot, omg! Windows have no glass just the screen... there were so many things that needed maintenance

Plussat: Nothing.

Miinukset: There was no clean bed sheet, the property has a strong bad odor upon entering, there no soap and not hot water to shower, poor light in the bedroom, no cover just one thin sheet to cover yourself.

Plussat: Air conditioning worked. Bed was comfortable. Plenty of space.

Miinukset: Lavatory not working. Door to balcony would not lock.

Plussat: Wifi and airconditioner

Miinukset: I am very disappointed in the Dumas Villa. First, it is not as advertised (see below). Second, I had a classical bait-and-switch pulled on me: I booked a room for $22.95 plus 10% VAT. Upon arrival, I was told that was the “old price.” When I pointed out that I just booked the room a week earlier, it turned out I had the “upgraded room” that cost $30 plus tax. They would be happy to relocate me, but the other room had no air conditioning or TV. Note: their facilities list states the place is air conditioned and it must have been 40C in the downstairs lobby already. I decided to stay in my cooler room and pay extra.

Miinukset: Told property in advance our flight was arriving late. When we arrived, they had given the room I booked away to someone else. And then tried to makes us pay over $10 more for their last available room, even though it was their fault our room was given away- very unfair. In the end we had to pay extra for a room with no AC or private bathroom, even though that is what I booked. Very poor customer service and I just could not recommend this accommodation to anyone as a result.

Plussat: They did charge us $15 less for the room vs. the one we booked.

Miinukset: Our worst hotel experience having been to over 50 countries. Arrived at 9PM only to find that didn't have our room, despite we submitted our arrival time with booking.com, and all they had was a tiny cramped and not very clean room. We had a really early flight the next day and with 2 toddlers, we didn't have any choice but stay. There was no soap in the bathroom and the toilet wouldn't stop running. The sheets didn't look very clean and the shower floor looked so dirty that my wife couldnt bare to shower because she didn't want to go in there bare feet. My wife barely had any sleep, and I didn't get much either. Not a great way to start our vacation. Also, I contacted the hotel about their shuttle service, using the AOL email contact address shown everywhere, prior to arriving, but there was no response. Found out that the service is NOT free as their website stated. They charge $15 to the airport and around the same if you want to go into the city. Uber is a lot cheaper. The overall score should really be 1, not 3.8.

Plussat: Friendly staff, close to airport and walking distance from a big mall. Safe neighborhood. The hostel is a nice Italian style mansion.

Miinukset: Expensive transportation. $30 round trip for a 10 minute ride. Will definitely take the bus next time.
