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.

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.

If you’re staying here Friday or Saturday, do not expect to sleep til 5am. Not only does the party go into the wee mornings, but you’ll constantly hear taxis honking at the traffic. Then you’ll start to hear it again at 6:30am everyday when people wake up for work. The room was dirty. The A/C constantly leaks and makes a puddle and this creates mold which you can smell. The saving grace was the walking tour by Jordi. Nice guy. The San Blas tour was a waste of time and money. Do it with another tour group. Selina’s has a terrible San Blas tour. They keep you waiting at every stop, you end up only getting to spend 4 hours for a 14 hour day. 6 hours driving and 3 hours of waiting around and the last hour is the time it takes for the boat to go to the island.

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!

Nice looks & amenities but intense party hostel
Fwiw reviews are pretty accurate. Enjoyed my stay, but def some issues. Solo male, working traveller, 30yo from US, in 8person room. Staff was great, security was great, the overall property was very esthetically pleasing including the library area full of real plants. Tacos La Neta on the rooftop was great and the main restaurant near lobby area was good but also tons of great places nearby, prices of things start to add up tho if you eat here/out a lot. Chair massage was nice & not too expensive. Views from the rootop areas, pools, bars are just as pictured. Small roaches were mostly in the bathrooms or kitchen from folks not properly cleaning dishes. Never saw them in my bed or general room area. 100% a party hostel from Wed-Sun. Rooftop plays music Wed-Sun until at least midnight-2am or beyond & can be heard all the way 3 floors down throughout entire rooming areas. Nightclub in basement is Fri-Sat & just as loud, so dont plan on getting much sleep those nights, even with earplugs, if you dont want to party. Lots of locals & other travelers come here to party so it gets packed! Had a situation where people in my room where so drunk i had to request an urgent roomchange @ 430am bc the person in the bunk above me peed themself & it seeped through to my bed. Staff helped me change right away, but idk if mattress was ever cleaned/replaced (just sheets) as heard from others in that old room. All in all: probably wouldnt stay here again unless smaller room Mon-Wed.

I dont like to write bad review but roach infestation bothered us. We did not use the kitched beacause of it. It was pretty bad. One sign that effort was not there was that all the cutlery and cups was badly washed, not some , all of them, all had stains. We rented a studio and a two bedroom apprtment for a week. The place is noisy because of clubs on rooftop and outside window. The noise doesnt bother me so much but some people might not like it. If not for the roaches plausibly we would have considered return on our followup event.
