I just needed a reasonably priced place for the night due to a very long layover between flights. The place was clean, and comfortable. If you are looking for a place with frills, this isn't it. The young man met me and didn't know English. we discovered Google Translator. He made sure I was awake (because I had a very early flight), helped me get the uber which only cost $12 to and from the airport, had a cup of coffee, an apple, and a cookie for me. I wasn't expecting anything so that was pretty cute. I would return.

Convenient location
Great experience. Unbeatable quality for the price. Hotel staff Rene very pleasing to deal with, helpful and corteous. Centrally located. Close to many shopping malls, restaurants, Albrook mall and many government offices as well. I have stayed here many times and it’s a great deal for any traveller on a budget.

Nice little "family" hotel
I last stayed here a few years ago. They have upgraded a room I stayed in before. It was o.k. before, but now it's much nicer. Do remember to include taxi fees in price comparisons.

Not at all what I expected
The room was tiny at just over twice the size of a double bed and it had no other furniture in it. The TV was hung over the bed at an extreme angle and I was afraid it might fall on us during the night. The walls were cracked and the shower had tile loose.

Good relation price / service !!!!
In general the hotel was good, in a very quiet area of Panama, but very close to a principal avenue.
They have a good breakfast, considering the price. The rooms are ok, it wasn't big but I consider that for a couple it was small, but it was ok.
There wasn't room service but that point wasn't an issue for us. Carlos, who attended us was very kind and helpful....
In general terms, is a good choice for a reduced budget.

Avoid the Pear Room
I booked the Pear room through Expedia based on the good reviews. Unfortunately, our experience did not reflect the positive experience expressed in other reviews. It is by far the smallest room I have ever stayed in, and I have stayed in hostels before. I would not recommend the Pear room for two people, or even one person who likes room to spread out. There is only one TV table and no other surface to put anything on. You end up having to use the bed or the floor to go through your luggage. The description says an extra bed is optional, but if you put another bed in here, there would literally be no room to walk. The description also says memory foam bed, which is a joke, but we found it comfortable enough to sleep on. It would have been nice if they used a fitted sheet on the mattress--I was happy I brought my own sheet. It would be nice if they added hooks and a towel rack and gave you a hand towel.
However, the room is clean with no evidence of mold and no smell. It does have air conditioning which was a little tricky to figure out, but it worked well. The TV is rather awkwardly placed and can only be watched when lying in the bed. The staff are very nice and helpful, but we did not find them overly helpful as so others did.

Hostel en El Dorado
The room had a double bed in a single size room. There was no hot water. Breakfast was disappointing- fruit (a sliced, rotting apple)., toast and scrambled egg. There were teabags but no hot water to make tea. There was no sugar for the coffee.

We arrived around 9am cleaner/chef on duty very lovely lady tried to be helpful until front desk arrived. We had requested airport pickup cost 40 dollars could of got a taxi for around 10 dollars found out later! Room small shared bathroom with room next door and anyone else that apparently cared to use it ie late stayers staff etc. wet towels left on floor by someone who had used the shower. No room service for 2 night stay waste toilet paper bin in shared bathroom not emptied during 2 night stay! Chef/cleaner on second day miserable unhelpful lazy watching telly in bedroom too busy to clean rooms. Ran out of coffee said she would have to go the supermarket but she drank the last cup of coffee. Area is quite far from old Panama 10 dollars every time you go out can be negotiated. Area commercial no restaurants near by apart from Mc Donald's no bars we could find. The man on the front desk spoke good English was very helpful. Would I stay here again definitely not i would like to speak to people who have stayed and given it a good rating as I feel it was not the same place.

Arrived 1st February requested airport pickup cost 40 dollars found out we could of got taxi in the street for around 10 dollars! (Local airport not international paid 35 dollars for taxi to international airport.) on arrival cleaner welcomed us she was lovely friendly front desk arrived and was also very helpful.
Next day different cleaner/chef miserable unhelpful ran out of coffee but she drank the last one! Said she would have to go to the supermarket but obviously not that morning! Had a shared bathroom presumed it was for us and the room next door not the case as near the front of the hotel used by staff and late leavers for a shower dirty towels left in bathroom requested not to put toilet paper in the toilet so went in paper bin next to toilet not emptied for 2 days room smelly!
Cleaner offered no room service. Rooms very small. A long way from Panama have to get a taxi so can work out quite expensive especially if you go into town during the day and again at night approx 10 dollars a trip can barter for around 6-8 dollars worth doing.
Hotel/hostel in a commercial area no restaurants near by or bars would not recommend for all the above reasons glad we only stayed 2nights would definitely not return. All I can say if booked change your booking!
