Pros:

Nettes Personal, Supermarkt mit atm direkt gegenüber, Perfekt für eine Nacht im Panama, Eigenes Bad im Zimmer mit Handtüchern ist super
Man darf nicht zu viel erwarten, aber für den Preis macht es genau das was es soll

Simple, perfect, quiet and clean
Pros:

It was simple, perfect, quiet and clean. And that is more than enough if you're on the streets the part of the day you're not sleeping. From the outside no luxury or shining gold, but from the inside just perfect for us. Value for money. Not the most luxurious area, but safe and part of Panaman life.

Pros:

The staff Richard and co are great . If you cannot speak English its ok because they do )
I like the location and yhe back rooms are very very quiet although at night the whole place is quiet and its a safe location in the middle of a hussling shopping pedestrianised area . Every food and clothes shopping uou can think of with great prices. Street food sippermarkeat banks clothes shops . Although at 6 it gets quite just a few food places open to eat local foods and great bakery that saty open late . It's only a 5 min walk from the old town of casco veijo . Really love this area of santa ana . If you walk down the hill behind the hotel you are in the fisherman's qarf where the fish market foods are second to none . Yeah I love it hear

Cons:

Nothing not to like if you are happy with a large clean comfy room with toilet and shower with a lobby that has a micro wave large fridge and coffee facilities.
Snacks available with 24 hour service. Someone always at hand to help you

Alles cool soweit.
Pros:

Es hat für meine Ansprüche tatsächlich alles gepasst. Ich bin allein gereist und habe keine allzu hohen Ansprüche. Zutritt und Buchung waren einfach, mit Zimmer und Bad war ich zufrieden. ich mochte die Lage, kaum 100m weiter weg und es ist touristisch. Hier fühlte sich alles authentisch panamanian an.

Simple, clean room with shared bathroom in an excellent location
Pros:

Excellent location in the centre of Madrid, a few minutes walk from the busiest streets. Plenty of shops and cheap street food around, and a metro station one minute away.
The common bathroom was kept clean at all times during our stay.

Cons:

Staff were indifferent, almost uninterested. There was a charge to leave luggage during the day.
