    No hot water, but I guess it is expected for the price. Also the TV channels were not very good; not enough selection.

    New added security on the door

    We stayed in two rooms. First room bathroom was a little dirty, toilet didn’t work the best. Second was much better.

    Great A/C, comfy beds, tvs worked well, rooftop was great, staff very friendly.

    The hotel is basic but clean and centrally located. Very good value for money. Close to many shops and in walking distance to Casco Viejo.

    Fair cheap hotel in the middle of Panama City
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Twin Room

    The hotel is in the need of some renovation (for example missing hot water tap, partially broken flushing mechanism of my toilet and smelly fridge), however for about 25 USD per night in the heart of the Panama City you cannot expect luxury. The staff barely speaks English, but it is still possible to communicate. The area around is very messy, urine smelly and full of noise and hundreds of locals, there is a shopping street for locals right next to the hotel, but I did not feel unsafe even after dark. No hot water in the bathroom (but I survived it thanks to over 30 degrees outside). Windows are plastered against opening, but maybe it is better due to outside heat.

    Relatively cheap hotel of older style and year of manufacture in the heart of traditional Panama City. Easy to access by metro (3-5 minutes walk), many cheap eating and shopping options around. Not a very fancy area, but good if you want to experience the real Panama City for locals, not the overpriced posh touristic part (that can be reached by approx. 15 minutes of walk). Rooms are big enough and beds fine, wi-fi works well. There is a rooftop terrace with nice view over the city, to eat, chat or smoke. Daily cleaning of the rooms, cleanliness is not an issue. Although there is a lot of noise on the street and casinos next door, rooms on the higher floors oriented to the other side are quiet enough. Air-conditioning quite noisy but still OK.

    Very noisy, especially if you room is facing the street. Poor wi-fi.

    Very convenient location - very close to the historical centre of the city. There is a metro station nearby. The staff was friendly and helpful. Great roof terrace with an amazing view towards the city.

    The price is fair, close to the metro station, attendances are good, building needs maintenance.

    Building needs better maintenance, I suggest to keep soap and towel on the common toilet in the 1st floor, I also suggest to revise the air conditionair and tv since I was not able to set the tv on and control the temperature properly.

    It is very close to the metro station, water is warm, the prices are fair.

    not all the staff can speak English, due to the location on a busy square be prepared for a lot of noise in the evenings (especially on Friday/Saturday)

    friendly and helpful staff, great location, close to markets, fast foods, close to old city centre, museums, right on metro station 5 de Mayo, fabulous terrace, where you can sit and enjoy sunrise over the sea

    There is a event's place (or big bar) next to the hotel so the noise makes the stay uncomfortable.

    It is close to the casco antiguo.

    we found it quite dirty, especially the linen window was impossible to open it is NOT soundproof - you hear all your neighbours doing their stuff in their rooms

    perfectly located for our one-night-stay on the go it was probably a good hotel many years ago, we loved the high ceilings, big comfy beds and marble furniture tops (!)
