Pros: Best breakfast in Casco Viejo! What a wonderful place to stay. The owner (so sorry, long trip, I have forgotten his name) took such good care of us, helping us with directions and food and parking and a wonderful breakfast before we took off on our long drive. I especially loved the history of the property which is a military baracks from building the canal. And such a peaceful and serene location up above the hub bub of Casco Viejo.

Pros: Jacques was a wonderful host. Friendly and helpful at all times. He even called an Uber for us when we wanted to go into Casco Viejo. He served us the best breakfasts we'd had on the entire trip, and gave us a show of local birds feeding while we ate. If we ever go back to Panama City, we will definitely book a room with him.

Pros: Jacques makes some of the best croissants we’ve ever had. Breakfast out on the balcony is beautiful and comfortable. They were very helpful and accommodating. The rooms are small, it’s a house from US times so it used to be a very big home for a family - now it’s nicely divided. It’s quiet and pretty on the hill, you can’t be better situated for going to and from Albrook airport or bus terminal, and casco viejo is very close. For us it was just right.

Pros: This is a bed and breakfast in a quiet Canal Zone neighborhood. Jacques, the host, was fantastic and will call Uber for you if you need a ride. For my partner and I, it was great that we would walk to dinner at (15-30 min) through the landmark Canal Administration Building grounds and palm lined avenues. In the other direction, it is no farther to the Panamerican Hwy with other eating choices although we didn't investigate that this trip. The B&B has a deal with 3 nights there and 2 nights on Chichime Island in the San Blas. We took advantage of this and are happy we did.

Pros: The host is very helpful. Anything you need to know, he'll help you with. The bedroom was clean, bed was large and comfy. The room has a/c. The shower had great pressure and hot water. The breakfast was amazing. Very filling.
Cons: You basically have to take a taxi if you want to go anywhere or do anything. The room was a little noisy at night and in the morning (dogs barking, traffic, planes, etc), if you're a light sleeper you'll probably need ear plugs.
8.8 Excellent
Pros: Jacques is a great host, very friendly. Breakfast was great, croissants fruit and coffee. Colourful birds in garden. Nice residential neighborhood, feels safe.
Cons: You need a taxi to get anywhere but easy to get Uber. Rooms a bit small for anyone used to N America but fine for us.

Pros: The place is very beautiful and quiet, surrounded by nature, and only a 10 min walk from Plaza 5 de Mayo where you have access to metro station, buses and a lot of business. The mattress was really good and each bunk has a small fan, a light and a courtine for privacy. The staff was mainly volunteers, really friendly and always available to help me with everything i needed. I was not expecting such good breakfast for the price! :)

Pros: The hostel is located in a quiet green area close to Ancon Hill and from the roof terrace you can sea the ocean and city. From the metro/bus station 5 de Mayo it is a 15 min walk and you can walk to the old town and to the top of Ancon Hill as well. The closest supermarket is a bit of a walk but it is still okay to walk back with your groceries. You might not pass the best areas but during the day we felt safe. Each bed has its own curtains, a reading lamp and a ventilator which is very nice. There are enough bathrooms. For breakfast you get two pancakes, fruits and tea/coffee. The hostel is a nice old house and has a great atmosphere.

Cons: Sometimes there was loud music playing by guests and workers during the day. Nothing against music but if you want to relax it can be a bit disturbing. It would be nice if there would be more seating areas in the garden and more hammocks around. Both roof terrace and garden are beautiful spaces but a bit unused and run down.
