“A nice homestay”
Located in a beautiful area in the ex american area. near to main attractions like miraflores, amador causeway and american bridge. tocumen airport takes some time, around 1.5 hrs by metro plus bus but only costs a dollar to reach. some small eateries and shops around. Bus goes to the metro nearby every 20 mins approx. good staff, willing to support. Daniel was very helpful. A lot of common areas outdoor and very neatly kept.

“Would recommend and stay there again”
Super nice staff, picked me up from the airport and booked a tour to San Blas for me. Great safe location. Really easy to Uber to the old town and buses close by.

“We will be back...”
Loved the location of the hostal. It is. Far from the maddening crowd of the city, yet right in the city. Nice neighborhood to walk around in. At the hostal there is a nice green area to relax in. Loved that we had use of .the kitchen. The managers were very helpful, friendly and always available. They offer fair prices on transportation to the airports, even at 4:30 in the morning. Will definitely stay again.

“pohoda v Amadoru”
Hostel Amador has a great location, including very beautiful surroundings. The seating area with the kitchen is absolutely great, and the coffee is always ready! Wifi great, available. We thought we would stay overnight, and go, but we came back even at the end of our stay in Panama. I will definitely come again.

“Great for a short stay before heading to the Airport”
The property itself was very clean, large open spaces and areas to lounge in. wifi connection was brilliant in the whole building. Great AC, TV with Netflix already signed in. We had to get a Antigen test completed and the Hostel staff (who provided the airport run) helped us at very short notice which was amazing, and they helped us print our flight tickets on leaving the hostel. basic things done very well.

We enjoyed our stay in this hostal. The family who runs it is really nice. Rooms and kitchen are clean and comfortable. The location is great. We really liked it. It's not far to a big bus station at a mall where there is busses and the the tram to everywhere in town. We also walked to the old town twice. Safe neighborhood. Also at night.

“Brilliant, friendly, safe hostel in a green and quiet part of Panama City easily accessible by car.”
Hostal Amador was an absolutely wonderful experience when it comes to the staff, location, and facilities. The couple who run the hostel are so hospitable, kind, engaging, and extremely welcoming to travelers from around the world. They even helped me get a Covid test at the last minute when I realized I needed one in order to transit through the USA. The room was clean and the bed was quite comfortable! The kitchen facilities are well-stocked and the morning coffee was not only complimentary, but delicious too! I also felt very safe walking to the local mini supermarket, and would have liked to explore the leafy residential area more than I had time for. The WiFi was quite good and fast enough too, and I believe there was a printing service available. Additionally, they arranged to pick me up at the airport and for a very (VERY affordable cab ride to the international airport for my departure. Overall, I had a lovely stay, would happily stay again, and highly recommend Hostal Amador.

“Great accomodation in safe area of Panama City”
This accomodation offers you everything you need after long flight. Safety, nice owner who is trying to help you with everything, kitchen, AC, private bathroom and nice garden where you can rest for very good price. It is located in safe area and not far from the main bus terminal. I will be back before my flight home (:

“You are paying teh high-ish price for the SAFE NEIGHBOURHOOD and not for the quality accomodation”
Plus: - Safe neighborhood (though strolling around during nighttime is not a good idea anywhere in Panama City, unless you are in Casco Viejo or in some exceptional area) - Sightseeings are close by taxi or by public transportation - Working air conditioning - Spotless bedsheets and comfortable double bed
