I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were equipped with everything I needed and the lounge area was nice, but the shared bathrooms were not as clean as I expected. The friendly staff at the reception made me feel welcome, but the noise from nearby clubs was a big downside during the weekend nights.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the old quarter of Panama City, with a cool rooftop bar, a good taqueria, and a small pool offering a nice city view. However, the issue with shared bathrooms on our floor and a closer proximity to the slum area than the old town were drawbacks. The dining options were delicious, especially the avocado spread with almonds, but there were some discrepancies with the coupons. Overall, the value for money was decent considering the amenities provided.

Rooms

The room reminded me of the cozy space below the stairs at Harry Potter, which was interesting. However, it didn't fully align with what was advertised online as a double bedroom.

The staff were helpful within their means, but the bar staff came across as a bit rude during our stay.

The hotel is conveniently located in the old town with great nightlife nearby. The rooms are very small with no windows and a broken air conditioning system, making it uncomfortable. The shared bathroom situation was inconvenient. The service was friendly overall, but the bar staff were a bit rude. The dining experience was modest and not very accurate to the menu. The location is excellent for exploring the old city and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere, but there were issues with shared facilities. The facilities include a rooftop bar, a small pool, and a lovely view of the city.

Wow, the pictures on the booking site don't do the rooms justice! They're small and don't match the price tag. On the bright side, the facilities in the room, like luggage storage or shelves, have seen a massive improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms didn't look like the photos and were situated in a busy area between the nightclub and bar. However, they were cool and relatively comfortable. The service was a bit of a hit and miss with friendly staff overall but rude bar service. The location was perfect for exploring Casco Viejo, although the shared bathrooms were a downside. The dining options had some ups and downs with excellent dishes but limitations with the menu options.
