6/10 Good

Okey place to sleep for the night if you need to be close to airport but not more than that.
Martina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great value for your money
The room was very clean. It had a nice hot shower. The neighborhood is very nice. For a short walk there's a shopping center with a restaurant. The only thing is be aware that the staff did not speak English.

Great pool area and breakfast. In a residential area. Super close to Albrook airport, which is why we chose this place. Would stay here again, but stay longer to enjoy the pool.

I had a small room that had everything I needed. I would stay there again for sure...

10/10 Exceptional

Calm staying and pool between flights
It was a short 2-nights stay after a transatlantic flight. The property is close to the city center (by taxi) and both the national (10 min drive) international (25 min) airports. The pool was essential - first days were tough (hot and humidity). The breakfast lacks fruits. The staff is very friendly. Serenity and tranquility - were happy that didn’t stay in the central (noisy) locations.

Excellent
This is a great little boutique hotel. Check in was easy and the whole place is meticulously clean from the common area to the room. The bed was comfortable and the water in the shower was nice and hot, with good pressure. We would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Such a beautiful little retreat in a nice quiet residential neighborhood. Close to the old town and a quick cab or Uber ride there. Great breakfast for a small price with attentive staff. Highly recommend it.

This is a great value for the money. Simple, very clean rooms. The sheets smelled so fresh, that I just had to ask what detergent they were using.

10/10 Exceptional

There are no grocery stores walking distance. Nice place, quiet area, low traffic, easy to drive around.

I liked the fact it was quiet.didnt feel I was on the city. The guy that works there was always very helpful on all our needs.(taxi, directions, laundry) good place.
Sebastian, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a great place to stay in Panama City! Beautiful, tranquil neighborhood but close to the historic district and the cabal. Also there Reserva Cerro Ardon is in walking distance just behind the hotel. We saw many sloths, toucans and other cool birds! It’s amazing to have this natural area with so much wildlife so close by in the middle of the city! Beautiful views from the top as well. The hotel has nice grounds and a pretty pool. Rooms were simple but clean and ac was nice. Food options are a bit limited so plan ahead. I would definitely stay here again!
Yuki, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was really nice and friendly. Our room was very basic, just white walls nothing more. Not like on the pictures at all. Breakfast is not for 5USD. You can choose from the menu but every item you pay for. So at the end it is more convenient and probably cheaper to book hotel with breakfast included in the modern part of Panama City. The pool is nice.
Lada, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice quiet hotel with lovely outdoor area
Lovely small hotel in a safe quiet residential area. Lovely veranda/hammocks and pool. Bed comfortable. Very clean. Ac was comfortable. Shower good. Microwave in my room but no cups, plates or other items to cook with. Fridge in lounge area was apparently not for guests (but they let me put my water there). A bit far for food etc if you don’t have a car but Uber connections were good.
