Hostal Gemar - Hostel

Panama

We stayed two nights, the first very good experience, the owner helped us with everything possible.. unfortunately the second night 5 days later he didn't guard the rooms, which had previously been booked through the hotel's website, and that meant that we were left on the street at 11pm to find our rooms... They don't manage the reservations well, and prefer to sell if you don't arrive early, to guarantee occupancy, despite having a reservation in advance, and a registered card.

We were left with no rooms, despite the advance reservation.

I was very pleasantly surprised by Hostal Gemar on my recent trip. Al reservar, busque Ubicacion, transfer, air conditioning and metro station nearby, always taking into account not spending more than I would in a hotel named. Since I arrived in Panama, I was greeted at the airport by Mr. Gerardo, an associate, who took me to the hostal and gave me some details about the city to get to know. Hostal clean, with only 13 very simple rooms with an independent bathroom, WiFi, cable-TV, air conditioning, saunas and towels very clean and soft, and 4-5 square meters of Metro. These have laundry and cooking/smoking area for the community. All the rooms are private.

Service, Transfer, Economy, Cleaning and Location: Everything you need for your trip.

Many liked this hostel very much, because it is very close to a metro station, because of the convenience of the rooms, and a large kitchen, they can take you to the airport, plus the attention they provide at the reception makes you want to return.

It is excellent.

A simple but very comfortable room with air conditioning and very comfortable beds. It has a community kitchen. It is located near a main avenue, 15 minutes from the center.

A good hostel for motorists!

Our stay here was an attempt to find lodging near some friends who live in Panama City. It was cheap, but grim. There was no way to lock our door. The sheet barely fit the mattress so the corners came off during the night, exposing the bare mattress. Cold water only in the shower (not that that is unusual in Panama). On the plus side, they do have a kitchen you can use and free internet - though you have to go to the lobby to be close enough to the router to make it work. The people were pleasant. Later in our trip we stayed in an excellent hotel for less than $10 more per night. Check Expedia and shop around.

Pretty grim. Better deals for your money elsewhere.

On one of my trips to Panama I visited this hostel and was really surprised by the warmth of the owners.They will do their best to make your stay the best possible.In addition, the hostel is very comfortable, with amplifiers and accommodating beds, bathroom with hot water, cable TV, free Wi-Fi and kitchen available.I recommend that if you are in Panama, visit this hotel.

Excellent attention and attention.

I stayed 3 times, November 2013, January 2014 and January 2015, for short periods of 5 to 8 days, and the attention of Neila, Gerardo and all the staff of the hostel has been excellent, staying close to the metro station of October 12 and the buses, in the corner there is a small restaurant and a grocery store, it is very quiet the area and is close to the CC el dorado, the cost-hosting relationship, it is very beneficial for Venezuelans who have to look for the economy, gives us the possibility to go to the airport with a significant discount to a normal taxi, and after the remodeling the area of the great cuisine...100% recommended...

3 times and we're on the 4th.

Don't go to this hostel!!! I went to panama from Hong Kong for vocation, the hosts and staff doesn't know English, couldn't communicate, every morning, other guests who living there always make noise so damn loud I can't even sleep, they turn off the lights all the time, you wont feel you are in the hostel, its becoz they want to save electricity??? its so creepy!! 

The worst experience is, I was going to check out early, however they can't do the refund, so I leave the room with my luggage empty sometime, come back someday after sleep in my friend's apartment, when I was going back to take my luggage, they rent my room to someone else without notify me!!!!!!! What is wrong with these people????? they earn double money from within the same period of time!!!!!!!! NO ONE EVEN TELL ME BEFORE THEY RENT MY ROOM OUT!!!!!!!

If u consider to rent this place, please think twice and twice times 10000 times, the location is not really conviene at all, u either take taxi or u rent with a car, at night its quite danger, less people pass by, not much street light, if you think you can ask for help from this hostel, DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! 

The room looks good in the photos, we asked them why, they said, its always looking good, because they use other photos, but it doesn't look the same in reality. Think twice, with this price, you can rent a better hotel in city!!!!!

VERY VERY VERY bad experience ever!!!

This is a comfortable hostal to the stay in Panama City, despite it has been in downtown, it's close transistimica corredor and easy to access all parts of the city by metrobus or taxi. The acomodations are very good, clean and the owner's hospitality is high point of this place. All you need you can rely on their suport, Geraldo and Neila are very nice and there you fill in confidence.

Honest!!

This place is terrible, the pictures are a set up, nothing like the real thing. When we arrived at reception a rat ran down the hall and through my wifes feet.
The owner wasn't the least bit concerned, had to argue to get half our deposit back, he wouldnt give us the rest. Its in a grubby industrial part of Panama City, miles from anywhere.

Stay away.
