I have stayed at this hotel many times.
Very hospitable and helpful.
Great location. They still do not have a restaurant, but there are some good restaurants and grocery stores within blocks. Great view of city. Near lite rail, which is only minutes away from bus terminal, local airport, and 700 store mall. Near park that offers incredible views of city and much more.
Windowless room.
Beware Porno channels.

Room was pretty nice and the staff was kind. Good check out time and I was able to store my suitcase afterwards for a couple hours
Location was good but a little noisy. I wouldn't recommend this place if that's a big deal.

we stayed one night transiting through Panama City. it’s a very basic clean room with small fridge with en-suite shower. the fridge is really just to chill water as no alcohol is allowed into the hotel . towel and soap bar provided per person. about a block away there is hostel 33 for breakfast and La teraza with a Mexican and central/South American restaurant bar open late. supermercado Rey is also nearby for groceries and also pharmacy within about a block away., so it’s convenient in terms of location. there is a small pool (more like a large jacuzzi fitting maximum 4 people comfortably) with an external shower on rooftop and view over Panama City which is handy. sadly the bar and restaurant within the hotel itself is shut , but other conveniences nearby. good pressure hot water shower, fast internet and AC. the reception /check in was a little frosty but ok. generally felt clean. you can buy coffee from reception for $1.50
would have been nice to have a shower/bath mat when getting out of the shower so as not to have a slippery wet floor . the bathroom window was missing a pane, so the room was susceptible to mosquitos coming in. no view from the cheap plastic window panes. thin walls and doors in rooms so you can hear the other guests and noises in rooms and hallway as well as street noise.

This place is pretty bad. At no point did the workers make me feel welcome. Every question I asked was met with a response that implied I was annoying them. Thank god I only booked the one night there instead of all nine that I'm in Panama City as I originally intended. The rooms don't have sheets, hot water, not even outlets! I've never seen that in my life.

The room was full of insects. Look like it was bad cleaning. I had to go find someone to give me a insects sprayer. Than we couldn't use the room for one hour.
There are not parking lots, only in the street in the front of the hotel.
The air-conditioning didn't work, couldn't adjust the temperature.
I wake in the middle of the night, freezing, and had to switch of the air-conditioning.
And I had to wait for 10 minutes before the hot water in the shower.
No restaurant not even a coffee machine to get a my morning coffee. NOT restaurant at all in the area. Ii had to drive away to get my breakfast!!!!
A REALLY BAD STAY IN THIS HOTEL!!

The location was absolutely amazing.
Maybe if the restaurant will be open if been complete.

friendly and helpful staff. a hotel that allows you to have a more authentic Panamanian experience than more luxurious hotels.
cleaning on request / will also every day. extremely nice and welcoming housekeeping staff. welcoming receptionists.
a tiny swimming pool on the roof with view on Panama skyscrapers it's a plus.
it has been a pleasure.
only to improve the wi-fi connection

Nothing
Location is not good, super limited choices to eat close by. Rooms are very small, shabby, the air con in the room is probably 20 years old, installed low in the wall, super noisy. I paid for upgraded room, cause the single one is like a cage without fridge. One of the girls on the reception speaks few words in English, the rest dont. The behaviour of the staff is cold and indifferent. It takes average 5 minutes for the hot water to come in the shower.
3.9
Price quality and location are perfect!
Rooftop pool and gym were nice bonus.
Bathroom; shower and toilet were basic.
We had a room facing the street side which was a bit noisy.
