6/10 Good

Unhelpful

I needed a place to stay for an overnight layover, and the location is good. I was there for 15 hours. Problems began when I could not use my card to pay. I am in the country for a short period of time and have no desire to take out cash to pay for the room. I paid 75% of the price in dollars and offered the balance in currencies from neighbouring countries. This was refused and I was offered to go to another hotel where I could pay by card - I'm in the room as are my bags at this point. All ATMs nearby and not so nearby wanted to charge me 20% of the cost of the room as a fee so I was forced to take out hundreds of dollars to justify this fee - all to pay this ridiculous property $7! And it's 30 degrees in reception with no sir con while I have to deal with this ridiculousness.. Was this stay relaxing? No Could this have been avoided? Yes Would I return? No

IT IS A RUNDOWN HOSTAL, 14 ROOMS

NO HOT WATER, FINALLY THE LAST DAYS THEY FIX THE WATER HEATER, BROKEN GLASS ON WINDOWS, NO BREAKFAST OR FACILITIES TO GET A CUP OF COFFEE. THE A/C WAS SHUT DOWN EVERY 12 HOURS, NO DOOR ON CLOSET, NO NIGHT STAND LIGHT. NOWHERE TO OPEN THE LUGGAGE
JORGE, 12-night trip

2/10 Poor

Unhappy

I have never been so unhappy with this hotel I think Travelocity shouldn't be advertising this motels type no hot water one channel to watch TV the AC it's under a timer so as soon as you realize the AC has stopped working the parking area it's enough to fit three cars for the whole facility the hall way is dark and night so you literally to have a flashlight to be able to see where you going horrible experience

8/10 Very good

Très bonne assistance pour conseil et services

Bon rapport qualité prix Cet hotel est à 200m des métro et bus "12 de Octobre", à 2 pâtés de maison N/O en sortant du métro. Le métro mène directement à Albrook, station de bus national et à 12 de Mayo bus métropole. Le bus TOCUMEN mène directement à l'aéroport pour 0,25$. Restaurants et petit déjeuner local à proximité. WIFI redondé (2 bornes). Bref, très bien.

8/10 Very good

Nice hostel in downtown Bethania section of Panama

Very clean basic hostel with individual room, WIFI, flat screen TV, and hot water shower. A communal kitchen with 2 refrigerators. Never missed a beer or food! Gerardo and his helper Bladimir were very friendly and helpful. Introduced me to a taxi driver to take me sightseeing. His prices were on par with commercial tours but with a personal touch.Close to a busy street, but the noise was not a problem. Drivers in Panama do not use turn signals that much, they have devised a system of communicating using the auto horn. Each rhythm of beeps speaks of what their intentions are. You will hear them until everyone is home for dinner. Basic knowledge of Spanish is a must, better if you know how to use Google translate!
