8/10 Good

Chose to stay at Panama House Bed and Breakfast simply due to its location being close to a Metro (train station) so I could cheaply and easily get there from the airport. I also used the same Metro (Argentina) to go all the way to the end of Red Line (Albrook station), then cross the highway via overpass (signed) to the bus station where I caught bus C810.to Panama Canal. After overpass go down to ground level and street at back between shopping centre, go to the right (Yellow C section) and look for Miraflores on both the bus and sign above where it stops. Only costs a few US dollars to use Metro and Metro buses. Way cheaper than tours.
It is a hostel that seems to have more permanent residents than backpackers. So lacked that aspect of meeting fellow travelers to explore with you look for with a hostel. Also only two toilets and one shower (which is in same room as one of the toilets). Toilet and shower didn't have locks on own doors but you could lock the outside door. So you're wondering if other people are busting to go when using those. No dorm room key.
When I arrived the owner who seemed annoyed he was interrupted from playing music with some of the permanents asked me to pay for the room even though it was already paid for. He then after I showed him reservation where it says I paid, looked up his computer agreed I had paid through Expedia (um no I did it here through Wotif).
Also has some large birds in cages that make a lot of noise early morning.
