There were some renovations happening the week I was there, so it was very noisy. The central pool looked good in the pictures, but since all rooms overlook the pool, it was noisy with little kids having fun. The gym was small but had the basics. The breakfast buffet was just okay. There was a problem with access as key cards didn't work consistently. Someone worked on the door in question, but it didn't get any better. The TGI Fridays served the lunch and dinner if you were thinking of eating there. There are other restaurants within 5-8 minute walk that were better.

Hotel cómodo y limpio, buen desayuno. Staff del hotel y cocina quedan en deuda con el buen servicio.

Punto negativo: Hay un restaurante T.G.I Friday debajo del hotel, Que activó una alarma desde aproximadamente las 6 am, hablamos al front desk y nadie pudo hacer nada como hasta las 9 am, pero esto no nos dejó dormir más, es como si tuviéramos esa alarma dentro de la habitación cada 15 minutos. Terrible!, un sin sentido este negocio con alarma debajo de las habitaciones y sin nadie que pueda desactivarla en esos casos.

Era una escala para descansar y esto fue realmente molesto para el propósito que buscábamos.

This hotel is newly renovated and now offers sleek, modern decor. Our king room was nicely furnished, well lit and had a spotless bathroom featuring a spacious shower with rain shower head.

The breakfast room is cleverly separated from the lobby by glass doors which contains conversations in the breakfast room — although we never found it loud at all.

The included breakfast buffet was very nice, offering a variety of hot and cold items, plus coffee, tea and juice.

All staff were so friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again

We stayed for 6 nights. The swimming pool is located in the center of the building in an open air space (no roof) with the doors to the rooms opening to the pool area on all the floors. The reason we only gave it 3 stars is everyday in the afternoon they would play music for the pool area that if you were in your room you could easily hear. The last night we were there several young girls were loudly talking and laughing until 3:30 - 4:00 in the morning. It seems no one polices the pool area and there are no restrictions on noise levels and how it effects guests.

We stayed three nights in this hotel. Overall this hotel is nice, clean and quite good value. The included breakfast is good. It is located in the heart of El Dorado with many restaurants, supermarkets and shops close to the hotel. El Dorado is considered to be a safe area in Panama City with a very large Chinese community. The hotel is quite close to the Panama Canal and the old town. It costed about USD 5-8 to take a taxi or UBER from the hotel to the old town.

I first must say the room was clean & so was the property and the staff is wonderful. I had a problem with the noise. The pool is supposed to be open 8 to 8. Well there were people out there to way past midnight and then I heard people at 1 or 2 laughing and making all sorts of noise. It was tough not to go and complain. I probably should have. The doors are older, and they are not sealed all the way so you can see the light and because of this, you can hear all the noise which echoes up from the pool & courtyard.
Since I have stayed in other hotels in Panama City, the breakfast was OK, not great. Mainly because of the noise I would not stay there again.

We were disappointed with our stay! The fan in the bathroom above us was left on for hours and was so loud we had to shut our bathroom door. They advertise airport shuttle and they don’t have an airport shuttle, they call a taxi for you and it’s $30 USD. Our coffee maker wasn’t working and the breakfast dining room didn’t offer paper cups to take your coffee to your room!

The AC was set to 18°C in the room. Terribly cold. We turned it warmer. But then the room has a lot of condensation during the night. The room smelled like bleach when we first arrived.
The safe is not bolted to anything.
Mini fridge, microwave and coffee machine in room.
It was odd to have to take a step up to bathroom.
The mattress was comfortable. The bed had 4 pillows which was good for us.
We could walk to any of the Chinese restaurants in the immediate area (there are many!)
Breakfast was just like other reviews said, you go after 9am and there is limited food selection. The staff doesn't replenish. They even had coffee cups behind closed doors. Someone had to ask for coffee to be refilled also. Breakfast was only open until 10am.

I booked this hotel due to an unexpected stay in Panama City, due to a flight delay. According to the description of the property on Expedia, this hotel was close to the airport and had an airport shuttle. It turned out that the hotel was about 15 miles from the airport, in downtown Panama City, in a not so great neighborhood. The Best Western did not have an airport shuttle. The room itself was fine and the hotel staff were courteous and attentive.

Breakfast was alright. There was a change in most of the foods every morning. The room was spacious, clean and the bed was comfortable. House keeping did a good job. There was some construction at the hotel, which led to a little noise. Outback of the hotel was an area for trucks and other larger vehicles, which also had a bit of noise. Besides that, our view of people's backyards.

Fine stay but far location

We had an ok stay here. When we arrived, we were assigned a room that faced the street. It was loud…and there was a car alarm that would not stop beeping. There was no way we could get sleep. We asked to be transferred to another room. The front desk was gracious and helpful. They switched us to a quieter room, which was great because there was no outside noise and we could sleep but there was also no view. The window opened to a concrete wall. It was fine…the room was otherwise comfortable and clean. The pros…there’s a coin-operated laundry onsite you can use for a quick load. I did a load while my daughter swam in the pool. The pool was nice and clean. There’s a microwave, coffee maker, and fridge in the room. The free breakfast was nice but it’s held in a room that feels corporate and stuffy. Good front desk service and housekeeping. There’s daily cleaning/bed making for your room. The cons: although it’s only a few km from downtown/casco viejo, it feels far. It’ll take you a good 20-30 mins to get to casco viejo if you’re traveling during rush hour. Not during rush hour is 10-15 mins in an uber. The whole first floor is being renovated, so it’s kind of like your going through a construction site when down there. Also, there are no good authentic restaurants nearby. there’s just TGI Fridays, ihop, and like kfc. Overall, we had a comfortable sleep and thought the hotel was well equipped but lacked in location.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the exceptional Front Desk team—especially Alejandro, Jorge, and the administrative assistant whose name unfortunately escapes me at the moment. Throughout our stay, they demonstrated remarkable professionalism by being helpful in recommending various tourist sites and attractions, and consistently interactive, attentive, and highly efficient in addressing our needs. When we initially checked in and discovered that our assigned room next to the elevator was causing some disturbance due to noise issues, they handled the situation with remarkable professionalism and promptly relocated us to a more suitable room the very next morning, ensuring our comfort for the remainder of our stay.

The breakfast options were excellent. I would definitely return when visiting Panama due to its easy access to all tourist sites.

The taxi service was exceptional. Our driver demonstrated great professionalism, maintaining a friendly demeanor. His careful driving and thorough knowledge of the local roads made us feel completely at ease during our transfers.
