Friendly and cordial staff. Great free breakfast with ample hours. Convenient walk to restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops. Overall in Panama, you can expect anything imported from the US to be over twice the cost if not more. Local produce and foods are much cheaper though.

I always stay at this hotel whenever I go to Panama City, Panama because it’s very convenient and close to the largest mall in Central America, the Albrook Mall.
