We could not have asked for a better staff. They were the most polite, helpful, considerate and understanding folks. They actually treat everyone like royalty. Transportation was always readily available if needed, and dining and shopping was at your finger tip. My only draw back was the masseuse at the hotel spa, not very friendly and didn’t even say welcome or thank you. We also wanted something with a balcony, but we did not read up on it that family rooms did not have one, only for singles or couples. Overall, we would definitely stay there again.🤑💓👍

Great location in the centre of Panama's lovely old city. Walking into the hotel the impression is very positive as the entrance lobby has been well restored. However, the service is terrible and the rooms are not accurately represented on the web. We were put in a very small room in the middle of the redecoration of the hallways. This meant there were trip hazards everywhere and there was a horrible smell of paint. It took an hour to get the room changed. Housekeeping was very sloppy and the tour we booked through the hotel should have had an English speaking guide but he didn't really speak English. So beware booking this hotel or booking through the hotel.
