A new hostel has just opened --  "Hospedaje Casco Viejo", next to the Church of the Golden Altar, downtown.  Please take a look at www.hospedajecascoviejo.com (English version).  Backpacking CZBrats (and others) planning a trip "home" or those on a first time visit will find it to be most attractive and interesting

One of our readers came across a wonderful lodging facility in Panama City's El Carmen neighborhood.  It has 14 top-quality rooms with air conditioning, DirectTV, kitchenette (microwave, refrigerator, stove, utensils and pots), security service and a nice pool.

Rates are $300 to $450 per month, depending on the size of the room.  There is a laundry room with a washer and dryer available free of charge (you must provide your own soap).  Maid service is also available at $5/day, when required.  The business center offers a computer with free internet access.  If a high speed internet connection is required in the room, a $25 fee will be charged monthly.  A website will be up and running in approximately a week: www.lechateaudexello.com

For additional information, you can contact the owner, Michael Brokke at kakibg@hotmail.com   Beginning in June, shorter stays will be available at different rates.
