Everything with the exception of the bug infested bed was okay. The B&B was otherwise okay. The staff was friendly and I wasn't there long enough to say whether it is a good place to stay long term. I stayed for one night before heading to Bocas.

Nice family run hostel: basic but clean room, good breakfast and a nice garden to relax. We stayed for three nights and would come again. English speaking staff, city center is easily reached by metro-buses

Casa de Carmen (= Panama House) is a bit further from the main city tourist traps - therefore if you visit just for a couple of days and would like to see the most important parts of the city, it might be better to pick a hostel in Casco Viejo. Casa de Carmen was popular (1) among stopovers (coming from... More

I enjoyed my stay here. Staff spoke English and were very professional. The manager Emma is very nice and polite. They have a laundry room that guests can use and a beautiful backyard to chill out. Rooms were clean and its pretty close to everything u want to be close to in Panama City. I would definitely stay here again.
