While I was here there was no hot water for the entire building. The building also was located in a somewhat sketchy neighborhood. There is no way I would stay here again.

A classic hotel, wonderful pool with a swim up tiki bar. Probably best pool in Panama! There are two very cute cats on the property that visit guests at breakfast, staff is wonderful and kind with the cats. The two cats are loved by many guests who enjoy the interactions and company. Rooms are indeed older condition but are very clean and very large as hotel rooms were built much bigger then, even for the most basic room. Would happily stay again. Excellent buffet breakfast.

Great experience
My stay was a great experience.The room assigned was utterly enjoyable and perfect for my age . Breakfast staff was excellent, friendly as well as professional. As a suggestion, I would point that some areas need minimal reparations so as to preserve the prestige and charm of this Hotel.
