I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, with a comfortably low noise level. However, they did not come equipped with coffee or a coffee maker, which was a bit of a downside. The separate living room was a nice touch for hosting visitors.

The service was well-meaning but a bit slow at times. The staff were friendly and helpful, but there were some issues with efficiency. It's a family-friendly hotel, but the requirement of payment for visitors was a little off-putting.

The location of the hotel was ideal for exploring Panama City. It was in a cozy, safe neighborhood with many restaurants, shops, and bars nearby. While close to the metro and major tourist attractions, there were initial issues that the staff promptly resolved, making it a great choice for the price.

The hotel is a great find with very clean and comfortable rooms at an affordable price. The staff is friendly, although they may encounter minor system glitches. The location offers a mix of peace and proximity to city attractions with nearby restaurants. The dining options are satisfactory, but there could be more variety available.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although really nice and clean, were not ready when I arrived at 5 PM, but they did look exactly like their website photos. The service was top-notch; however, there was an unfortunate incident that made me reconsider recommending this hotel. The location turned out to be very good, close to restaurants and a metro stop, despite not being the greatest. The dining options were okay, but there were places around to eat at. Although there were some downsides, my overall stay was satisfactory.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and quiet, perfect for a self-service breakfast. However, the absence of a small fridge was a drawback as the hotel didn't provide any breakfast options. The service was somewhat lacking due to staff still in training and noise in the hallways. The location was excellent, close to a subway station and surrounded by shops and restaurants. The dining experience was enjoyable with good nearby restaurant options. Overall, a decent stay with a few minor issues.
