The hotel had really quiet rooms for a good night's sleep, but they definitely need upkeep and updating. The open bathroom layout with the visible shower and toilet didn't suit my two friends. However, I found The Global Hotel Panama to be much better and my preferred choice in Panama City.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were more than adequate, equipped with a refrigerator and safe. I enjoyed waking up to a lovely cup of coffee every morning thanks to the coffee maker in the room. The bathroom was huge, but I must admit the open bathroom layout with the shower and toilet visible may not suit everyone, especially for friends traveling together. Despite this, I will definitely be returning to this charming hotel.

The hotel's rooms were not very well cleaned and did not include water bottles, being extremely dirty and overpriced for the quality. However, the service was very helpful with information, even in handling difficult situations.
