Mondo Taitu is an awesome backpacker place for the price. we shared a private room which was clean (albeit a little small) and as expected in a party hostel with it's own busy bar, it was quite noisy but so much fun! The showers were fine but occasionally it was hard to get hot water. It was set back slightly... More

We stayed in a room for four people. There was no aircondition and it got very hot at night. The beds are very uncomfortable and lots of flies/mosquitos. There was party all night next door. We were not able to sleep at all. We changed to the nice hotel opposite after one night. For this hotel you just need to... More

I stayed at Mondo for quite some time and would have stayed longer had there not been more of Panama to see. First of all, the staff was incredible and always went out of their way to address concerns and keep guests in the loop of all the activities happening on the islands. Not only did they keep things running... More

Really cool hostel. Happening place in the evenings and really great drink specials - especially tequila night. Although, its hot and there are so many flies and mosquitos everywhere. The bathrooms and kitchen is kinda nasty. We just felt dirty all the time and we got some of our food stolen from the fridge - (which is not the hostel's... More

We stayed in a private double room here in February 2013. The hostal is quite run down and needs a bit of smartening up for the money. We like to eat out a bit and cook a bit but the kitchen in this place was awful. Everything was filthy, no one seemed to clean up after themselves (despite signs everywhere,... More

We stayed here for 3 nights... it was tolerable. We had a private room with a shared bathroom. The room was tolerable, though made cheaply. There was a gap/hole even when the door was locked. We shoved a towel in there to solve that problem. The bathroom was tolerable, but not as clean as it should have been. The kitchen... More

Staff were friendly and helpful with information and encouraging ya to go to beach or party with them Free pancakes that ya make yourself good but kitchen tiny... More

Best spot to stay and drink at in Panama. If you like to get down and meet people this is the place to go. Not for the faint of heart or non drinkers. Go here if you want to get smashed with fun people and hook up. Get an AC room. The regular dorms are hot!

I recently went to Bocas for a school trip and found a great regular spot for social life. Mondo has the best staff, and honestly, as soon as you walk through the door, they treat you like family. If you are interested in culture/diversity, it offers the best of all worlds, as there are travelers from all over and even... More
