Could work better the rooms, aircondition is noizy and old. Do not have breakfest and you need to get food from the bar. It is not for businessman. Do not get upper rooms because internet is freaking slow...does not matter what they do, it will remain slow. If rains,does not work at all...

I tend to give places the benefit of the doubt and brush off bad reviews...but I'm very disappointed in this place.
1. The location is NOT great. It's in the bad part of town.
2. There is from transport FROM the airport but not TO. On top of that, when I got an email back from the hotel about it, they told me it was $2/person. When I arrived at the hotel, they told me it was $10/person. AND ON TOP OF THAT, the shuttle only leaves a few times a day, so we ended up at the airport 5 hours before our flight.
3. I have really low standards on rooms, but our room here was super outdated.
Pro's:
1. The elevator is working again.
2. Free wifi
A couple of days ago we arrived in panama city and we had booked our stay in hotel bella vista, they picked us up from the airport with a minivan, that was nice then when we came in the hotel we had everything we needed it was clean, good shower, a/c, wifi and good location.
The service is very good and the breakfast made by Rosa is perfect aswell. Overall a very positive start in Panama City.
I have been stayed ,twice!!!!!! Great people and service. Mr. Benito and Staff !!!
This will be my third, time. great affordable prices. Clean friendly ,staff. Specially,Ms.maria, she been there for man, years.
A little bit dirty, old, window almost doesn't work - but the bed is comfortable and air condition works great. In the end it's a cheap hotel - I would come back.
Some locals scared us that the district is dangerous and after 20 we should stay inside. Other Panamanians told us later it's a lie, however I would risk. Perfect place to stay for one night with a low cost.
My first impression was that the two women working the front desk were not very nice. Cold and very unhelpful. The checked us in without any conversation and took a long time for the process. They never spoke to us until they handed us the key. The lobby was air conditioned but as soon as we checked in with our visa card and then walked through the door to the elevator the room was horribly hot, as was the elevator. I got a creepy unsafe feeling. Upstairs on the 5th floor, I believe, entering the hallway I continued to get a creepy unsafe feeling. The room was dark and hot and there were creases in the bedspread as if someone had been sitting on it. I pulled back the sheets immediately to check for bugs. No bugs but the sheets were creased as the bedspread. We had to go back down to the lobby to get them to turn the AC on and it was really loud. I felt very unsafe and asked my husband if we could please find something better. Cheap prices are not always the best choice. When we hailed a taxi the driver told us this was a bad section of town. We would not have been able to walk anywhere for meals. We were told by our booking company we couldn't be credited for our first night but our second night would be credited and it wasn't. We are now trying to settle that. We were to be in Panama for two weeks and booked this hotel for 3 different stays and ended up cancelling all of them. I do not recommend this hotel, in fact I say STAY AWAY.
