Older hotel in a good location for food service, laundry, small market stores and walkable to Balboa Ave as well as several other venues. Hotel is clean and functional. There are two elevators and a swimming pool. There is a restaurant but it was open during my stay, most likely because of Easter Sunday.

I was in this hotel for two nights. Overall the hotel had everything that I needed for my short stay in Panama City; clean room, good location, near the metro, near places to eat and shop. All the staff were friendly and helpful. If you don't want pay a lot for a hotel room in Panama City this is a good place to stay, and remember to bring shampoo because they won't have any in the rooms.
This is an economical hotel and a price range for this kind of travel. I have no idea why folks would be complaining at the price. Hell, this is a Hostel price and you get to stay in a Hotel. If you are looking for a cheap place to stay then this might be your spot. They have free wifi and a restaurant downstairs where you can get stuff to eat most of the day. It also has a bakery on the corner where you can grab stuff if the restaurant is too costly for you. They have a few computers that you can use in the lobby. I saw mostly people staying here that came to shop in panama. A lot f Cubans from cuba and other central and south american travelers. The room decor is definitely a littler tired and your going to see bedding that has seen better days, but for the most part it was clean. Try not to stay on the via espana side or you will never sleep. Ask to stay in the back of the hotel. The hotel also has parking if you have a car. I found the staff pleasant and helpful in both the hotel and restaurant.
The night manager Carlos made me wait 25 minutes before he answered my question. Very rude and obnoxious. Should not work in the hospitality industry. Definitely will not book this hotel again. I travel all over Panamá. This individual should not deal with the public.
About 30 minutes from airport. Never been there before but enjoyed the ride by taxi.
Could have stayed closer but the city was beautiful at night. You won't believe the skyline.
As for the hotel, out of the Hemingway days. Spartan room with basics. Polite but no English spoken. Will again stay there on way back to USA. Budget stay.
Affordable, clean room. Comfortable bed and close, by taxi to Casco Viejo.
Continental breakfast included.
Arrived late and tired. With my limited Spanish and hand gestures was able to check in quickly and get settled in.
The room had ample storage, although I didn't use it for this visit. The bathroom was spotless and plenty of hot water.
I loved the late checkout as I wanted to visit casco viejo in the morning and get to the airport by 3pm.
