We recommend this hotel to anyone taking tours in Panama City!
Pros:

We liked the room, the breakfast, and the location. It was easily walkable to restaurants and we were close to the Lake Gatun tours which made our time on the tour bus as short as possible. :) We thought the staff was very friendly.

Cons:

On two evenings there were some very noisy guests a few doors away and we went to bed early (9:00 pm) because we had an early tour the next morning. We couldn't sleep with all the noise but luckily they soon went out for the evening and then we were fine.

Good stay but rooms on the end of the building need fixing.
Pros:

The room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was nice. Location is good, it was near the places I was visiting but it was far from any metro station. (There are bus stops but they require a bus card unlike the train which allows contactless credit cards).

Cons:

My stay was split up between two different rooms since I had another stay in between. The first room was great; it was a double queen room that I shared with someone. The second room was a single queen for myself, room 218. This one wasn't so great. The hair dryer didn't work and neither did the wifi. This room was on one end of the hotel and apparently the desk was too far to connect to the wifi so I had to move closer to the room's door. Hopefully this isn't commonplace because otherwise I would stay here again.
