10/10 Exceptional

The Selina hostel in Panama City is not only beautiful, but located in an ideal spot conveniently close to stores, restaurants and historical sites. My stay was an absolute pleasure.

Super convenient and well priced! The vibe in the cafe downstairs is also lovely.

Nice and central located accommodation.
Barbara, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overpriced for what you get. The “small” rooms are just big enough to fit a bed and the accommodations and bathrooms felt run down. The bedding smelt like mold and the AC did not worked. They run a rooftop party every Friday and Saturday which you can hear from the room, which is fine if you plan on joining but would be hard to sleep through. The staff, coworking area and wifi was the great.
Kyle, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hostel is okay, the ladies only dorm a little bit better than the mixed one. The lockers for valuables in front of the reception for your own personal valuables are either brocken or are about to break. There are lockers in the room as well. At night it was very loud and I missed more shelf’s or hooks in the room. The location is okay, walkable to the old town. As in most hostels the kitchen is… okayish.

Older hotel building. Some of the amenities like in the washroom are dated and don’t work properly. Service is pretty good and hotel staff are very helpful and friendly

Excellent location and awesome rooftop bar and pool with views of the city. Room was spacious and clean and had a balancing. Would definitely recommend
Sarah, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Affordable and in the center of it all!
I've stayed here at this Selina many times and am never disappointed. It is beautifully decorated and the service this time especially was beyond expected. I would recommend for someone who wants to be in the center of the action in old town Panama. It isn't the most peaceful location for sleep, but if you like music and parties, this is the place for you!
Robyn, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Amazing property but super insanely loud from 10 PM until 3 AM it is absolutely horrible not just the nightclub upstairs by the pool deck but all of the cars honking and blasting music until all hours of the night.
Joshua, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property was good but overpriced
Kendrick, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great trip to Panama!
Solo trip to Panama City and I had a wonderful time staying at the Selina. It is an older building, so if a little dirt turns you off, then this isn't the place for you. As other reviewers have mentioned it is quite loud with the music and partying going on. I brought a good set of ear plugs to use every night and slept just fine and was able to wake up everyday and start work at 8am. If you're looking for a place to provide options for activities/tours and has a great night life, this is the place for you!
