Staff was great at check in!! Hotel is very nice and has that historic grand feel to it. Room was huge and had a very large balcony overlooking the pool. Easy to walk to the bus terminal and the stores and restaurants. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic!! Fresh juices, eggs, beef and a variety of breads and traditional Panamanian fare.
Best hotel we have stayed at since traveling in Panama these past 5 weeks!! Highly recommend this hotel and would absolutely stay here again!!

Awesome Hotel, great amenities for the price. The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming and accommodating.
Definitely would stay again. Only thing i was not a fan of was the view from the room which was directly at a gas station but it was quite far away.

Good for the price.
The pool was full of leaves and dirty, so we didn’t use it. Breakfast started late, so we didn’t go. Other than that, our one night stay was good. It’s a good price so you can overlook some of its faults. Bed is comfortable, bathroom is large, and the place is quiet.
