Everything was outdated and dirty! Check in was ok but they had no parking as was in the description that there would be parking. The sheets had stains on them and the air conditioner is both rooms we booked didnt work properly and one actually broke in the middle of the night! TV only had 1 working channel and the bathrooms were dirty as well.

I needed this hotel to wait for a plane, however, my plans on saving a lil but of money turned on me when I decided to go to this hotel. Bad area, even though there’s a police station in the same block, it’s very sketchy and looked dangerous. Room was clean, but decors were terrible, really small bed my feet hardly fit, and uncomfortable.Cherry on top was at time of check out, the lobby lady decided it was a good idea to ask for my credit card to CHARGE me for my stay, because, according to her, it wasn’t paid for. She didn’t care I showed her. Y credit card statement, not when I showed her the email confirmation. I had to make a phone call (long distance) to the hotels.com company for them to call the hotel and tel her what I already told her! Almost missed my flight. Never got an apology from her.

Basic but comfortable. Ceiling paint peeling. Room safe never worked, door swipe key sometimes did sometimes did not. Convenient to metro Loteria station. 5 de Mayo one stop leads to Old City. Albrook two stops gives access to Mall and Tica Bus and National Transport Terminal where Miraflores bus at outside area D is $.25 to Canal locks. Hot shower. Police station, backery, dept store, restaurant, casino, fire station all in the block.

Price and area was great. Hotel was run down, wifi none to weak. Reception was friendly but help was non existent even after being requested by the front desk.

The bathroom had a hole in the ceiling leftover from a pipe repair, and there was no screen on the bathroom window-a problem if you're worried about avoiding mosquito bites. We were at the end of the hallway on the 2nd floor, so the internet signal didn't reach. We were in a cramped triple with three single beds and a tiny bathroom. On the plus side, the beds were decent, the linens were clean and recently updated, the air conditioning was super, water pressure was good, and the cable had lots of channel choices. Staff were friendly and expeditious. The hotel can be noisy-we heard foot and car traffic from nearby Avenida Perú-but the location is safe and central for visiting the Cinta Costera or catching a subway. We did not try the free breakfast.

I took the public bus from the airport to panama city, and a taxi from there to the hotel. I am glad it was so easy to get to, and check in was a breeze. You can find everything from clothes to food, all in walking distance. The metro to Allbrook mall passes at the bus station which is 30 seconds walk from the hotel, right in front the huge supermarket. Getting back though, you will have to take a metro that runs " via espana" and get off at "calle 27" from there its a 5 min walk back to the hotel. Room was clean, bathroom spacious. Will stay here again when I come back to Panama!

i guess you get what you pay for! i was familiar with Benidorm in Mexico City and was lured by the low price thinking it was the same quality, but it has nothing to do with it!

Our experience as a family staying at benidorm hotel was good for us because the staff was very pleasant and the hotel room was good enough for us and my ten year old son was very pleased with the Internet connection and the cable television. My husband and I will definitely be returning to benidorm hotel because the area was safe and secure and there was a lot of shopping to do around that area and we definitely felt comfortable with the staff and we enjoyed our breakfast at the restaurant.

Perhaps we were not prepared for cost/value in Panama City (apparently not inexpensive). Room was clean enough but small and without charm. First room had a broken air conditioner. Doors and wood trim could have used new paint a decade or two back.

I dont recommend this hotel, the rooms aspect seems dirty, the bathroom was not clean, the breakfast served was disgusting because it was full grease. Theres no warm water. The telephone and tv remote control didnt worked.

Place is a dump. Staff was not helpful and almost
disrespectful when you asked for something. I com-
plained to the manager about no wi-fi in room, and
he told me he was going to through me out unless
I stopped asking him to fix it. Finally got it the last
two days there. The restaurant was mediocre. The
location is fine, but the hotel was horrible.
0.5
The hotel was vastly overrated in your descriptions. It is old and very run down. No one on the staff spoke english, so communicating was a horror. It is next door to a strip club and seems to be used on an hourly basis by patrons and strippers.

Hotel is only very fair Thought there were bed bugsAnyone considering staying there, if there is more than one of you please everyone show their passports even if there are not asked for .believe me it could become a problem.I was in the room alone as my brother and sister had gone out to eat. I was constantly being phoned up or a member of staff knocking at the door insisting I give the passport numbers of my brother and sister. Finally they gave up and waited for them to come back to the hotel.I felt very concerned and rather nervous about the circumstance but it was probably the police wanting to check but the staff should have done their job properly in the first instance.LA

Everything went well. I was able to easily check in and get to my room. The room was small but quaint. The people were nice. I ordered a taxi and even though I was a half hour late to take it, it waited for me. I didn't get to take advantage of the complimentary breakfast

My wife and I stayed at Benidorm because of the price and its convenient location, 10 minutes to the Albrook Mall. We arrive at night after spending a few days at Varadero, Cuba and we decided to stay one night at Panama City for going shopping the next day.Modifications are being done at this very simple and a bit old hotel, so you can see part of the material being used if you go down to the parking place. However, we were wanting just a clean room to spend the night so we really didn't care. The next morning, breakfast was very simple but fine, you can choose natural juices, coffee, tea or milk, and pankakes, fried eggs with sausages or ham.The parking place is at the underground level, its small but safe like the hotel. For the price it was a good deal, room+breakfast+internet+parking included.

The place is a dump. It is old. There were no mattress covers, just under-sized sheets which slipped off the mattress, during the night so you ended up sleeping on the mattress. The pillow stuffings were sticking out - yuck! The towels had questionable stains. No windows in the room. The AC was a freight train. It was cheap, but we didn't get what we paid for!

The hotel staff was very helpful, attentive to our necesities, cleaning was satisfactory, breakfast included in the plan was good and sufficient, the location allows us to move easily to shopping centers and other points of interest. The hotel's transport service is prompt and economical. The rooms have free internet connection. Overall a good hotel with friendly staff

The photos overemphasize how bright and spacious the rooms are. My room was sufficient for my three-night stay, but it was very dark. The neighborhood is loud, but that is the case in many cheap neighborhoods in Panama City. Most frustrating was the internet, which is largely non-functional. Furthermore, I had emailed ahead of time to arrange a taxi pickup, and they never responded.
Hotel Benidorm is fine for a cheap hotel in the city, but I still felt it was overpriced compared to places I have stayed in Panama City in previous years.

On the positive side the Hotel Benidorm has friendly, attentive staff and a nice adjoining budget restaurant. As Panama City is fairly expensive the hotel is a budget option.
Unfortunately the Hotel is noisy and the rooms are poorly lit, unattractive and small. The area is not particular nice but it seems perfectly safe during the day and a police officer seemed to always be in the parking lot of the casino across the street so street crime shouldn't be an issue.
I think that the hotel should invest in larger televisions, much better lighting (the bathroom is extremely dark) and should noise proof the rooms better. If they did these things then this hotel would be adequate. As it stands I wouldn't recommend the hotel as it's kind of loud and depressing.
