The hotel is good for a cheap clean place to sleep and it's free shuttle to and from the airport. The average cost for one person is $25 to or from the airport. If there are two of you the $60 a night hotel rate plus pick up and drop-off becomes a great bargain. The hotel is right in the... More

Good location with walking distance to the seafront (with excellent views of the city) and the old town (about 30 min.). The staff discourage you to walk all the way to the old town, even at daytime, but we felt safe walking the entire distance along the seafront. They have a nice pool at the rooftop, with views over the... More

This is possibly the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The staff were incredibly rude, the room was awful and had a stench of toilet cleaner that was so strong our suitcases still reek of it now. The plug sockets were lethal. The breakfast was inedible. Stay somewhere else!

Pros: Free shuttle, clean rooms Cons: Really, really slow Everything about this hotel was slow. We arrived at Albrook airport and called for a pickup. After waiting for a bit more than 1/2 hour, we called again. Apparently the pickup hadn't been scheduled after the first call. We were then told that it would be 5 to 10 minutes. After... More

It is cheap, and it has beds. Don't expect too much if you're staying here, but at least it is safe and not too dirty. The free airport transfer is nice, although you might have to wait for a bit. They also have a 24h restaurant. I didn't check out the pool.

I stayed overnight to catch a flight to Bocas del Toro out of Albrook airport. The staff was very friendly and helpful for me. The rooms are small and dated but they were clean, had working A/C and the bed was comfortable. The place seemed safe - 24 hr manned front desk, key card access for the elevator and for... More

I think I'll skip this place on any future trips to Panama. The free transfer from the airport, the free daily breakfast, and the rooftop pool at the hotel were reasonable perks. The tour contact at the hotel disappeared for making any arrangements so we found another group which was OK. The regular restaurant's food was bland and uninspiring. The... More

This is a basic 3 star hotel but the value for your money is a pretty good deal in expensive Panama City. My husband and I had been staying in single rooms in Hostels which run anywhere from 25-50 bucks but then we found this place. The airport shuttle is what really makes it worth it. A cab ride to...

We stayed 3 nights at this basic 3star hotel. The room was small but adequate, though not well lit; the bed was clean and comfortable, the phone and TV worked, as did the air conditioning (in many of the rooms the air conditioning unit is not right in line with the bed but off in the jog created by the...

The hotel was in a bit of an off location, the room itself was basic but nice enough. AC kinda worked, WIFI kinda worked, shower worked just fine. The pool on the rooftop is a nice perk! I did feel screwed by their 'free airport transfer': on my way from the airport I had to wait over half an hour... More
