Nettes Hotel mit kleineren Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten
Pros:

- Super Lage in Viejo Antiguo
- großes Zimmer mit nettem Design

Cons:

- winziges Bad (obwohl das Zimmer riesig war)
- muffeliger Abflussgeruch
- Zimmer etwas verwohnt
- sehr laut
- leider hatte die so gehypte Rooftop-Bar geschlossen
- man muss jedes Mal durch das Restaurant laufen, um zum Fahrstuhl zu dem Zimmern zu kommen

Real Panama city vibe
Pros:

Everything was great, just mind the noise - for us wasn’t an issue, but if you are with small children maybe stay elsewhere. The rooms are spacious, the air conditioning system works well, delicious breakfast!

Прекрасный вариант для знакомства со старым городом
Pros:

Прекрасное расположение в старом городе, очень удобно гулять и возвращаться. Персонал внимательный.

Cons:

Завтрак хороший, но готовили его очень долго. Вечеринка на крыше была не такой шумной и веселой как обещали, там было скучовато (может, нам просто не повезло)

Horribly noisy! Goid for young partiers, not for seniors
Pros:

Clean, modern, nicely decorated, great location. Large, very spacious room. Comfortable beds with clean sheets and duvets, reading lamps.

Cons:

1-VERY noisy! Bars with blasting music on the 1st and 4th floors; all rooms subject to hearing one or the other.
2-Lobby also very noisy, and congested because check-in desk is in the middle of lobby restaurant; you have to drag your suitcase between diners at tables, and shout at desk clerk to be heard over the music.
3-Elevator & stairs cannot be used without room key! Once when I went downstairs without the key (leaving my companion in the room) I could not get back to the room!
4-Air conditioner in room was freezing and staff said it could NOT be turned down or turned off! We got heavy blankets to use.
5-Could not check in until 3:30 pm; we were too exhausted to explore the city and waited in the hotel "lobby" for two hours-- which is a sofa in the middle of the lobby restaurant-- amid the extremely loud music.
5-No window screens.
6-Heavy drape to cover most windows at night; however one opaque window had no drape or curtain, so the room had a glow all night from street lights.
7-Cracks in the walls and tears in the furniture.
