Clean rooms, comfortable dorm beds, hot water (unless the entire city doesn't have water), fast wifi, air conditioning, spacious living room, perfect location in the middle of Casco Viejo, friendly staff fluent in English and Spanish. I've stayed at Magnolia in the dorm rooms many times since they opened in 2012. My mom also stayed in one of the private... More

We stayed at the Magnolia Inn for 8 days in Penthouse 3B. It was located in the perfect area, walking distance to lots of Restaurants and attractions. Once arriving at the airport, we were welcomed by Karlos who drove us to the Inn. He is very informative and knows a lot about the city. The Staff was very helpful and... More

This hostel was a great choice and I highly recommend it! I was able to email the staff to reserve a single hostel bed instead of the private rooms available on their website. It is in a great neighborhood with a couple of tiendas right around the corner in case you want to cook. Very walkable, even with the construction... More

I feel this hostel has deteriorated recently. If you're expecting it to be anything like some of these rooms here, you are mistaken. We never would have stayed here if we knew what it was going to be like. Although the staff is exceptional (went out of their way to provide recommendations and help us with assorted things) and the... More

My wife and I stayed at the Magnolia Inn for three days in June, on the third floor in suite 3-C. A beautiful room, quiet and luxurious, with panoramic views of the skyline and sea. The inn calls itself a hostle, but it is more like a hotel with some upscale hostle features, like AIR CONDITIONING in the dorm rooms... More

The Casco part of Panama City is going through a major make over so lots of construction disruption. If you decide to stay in this area anyway, the Magnolia is an interesting place - good location, functional, friendly staff. They have a relationship with a driver Karloz who will pick you up from the airport and provide a tour of... More

I have stayed at Magnolia Inn for 5 nights, I first stayed 4 nights at the Panamericana Hostel but are so happy to have changed, at Magnolia everything is in the best order, Good big kitchen, Plenty and extremely clean bathrooms, Aircondition in the dormitories and super friendly and helpfull owners/staff. Just a really good atmosphere!!!

I loved our room - we had one of the more expensive ones upstairs. Really comfortable, huge bed, fridge, air con, TV, great bathroom. Was a perfect place to stay to settle us in on arrival in Panama. That said, I'm not 100% it was worth the price. Far cheaper places include a free breakfast, for example, which this place... More

Run by a very nice American couple, with a helpful driver and nice girl friday, Maria. We stayed in the penthouse that had good airconditioning. The rooms and the whole place was very clean. I think what impressed us most was the friendlyness of everybody. We stayed there for three nights. I booked this hotel because of the character of... More
