The hotel is located in Casco, the old part of the city, offering a prime spot for exploring. The rooms were somewhat clean but had an open bathroom layout that may not suit everyone. The service from the front desk to the restaurant staff was fantastic, with everyone being kind and helpful.

6.2/10

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.

The staff couldn't have been nicer, asking us where we would prefer our room. They efficiently and friendly solved any issues we had, though there was a minor incident where one staff member got blamed by the supervisor instead of receiving help.

The location is excellent, probably one of the largest and most spacious in Panama City. It's central, close to the metro, and many restaurants. Despite occasional loud music, it's a great area to stay in.

The hotel offers huge rooms overlooking the pool at a reasonable price, though they could be better soundproofed. The outstanding service and convenient central location make up for any minor shortcomings.

Rooms

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. The location was crucial for easy access and had a great outdoor restaurant, despite occasional loud music. The dining experience was okay but not impressive, offering lots of options. Unfortunately, the prices did not align with the quality provided.
