I had a long layover and booked this hotel. unfortunatly it was close to the wrong airport which I didnt realize until too late. I went anyway. Lovely clean quiet spot. I missed breakfast but they made it for me. Helped me get a far cheaper ride back to PTY. Great location if you have a car.

A great value for your money

The room was very clean. It had a nice hot shower. The neighborhood is very nice. For a short walk there's a shopping center with a restaurant. The only thing is be aware that the staff did not speak English.

Calm staying and pool between flights

It was a short 2-nights stay after a transatlantic flight. The property is close to the city center (by taxi) and both the national (10 min drive) international (25 min) airports. The pool was essential - first days were tough (hot and humidity). The breakfast lacks fruits. The staff is very friendly. Serenity and tranquility - were happy that didnā€™t stay in the central (noisy) locations.

It's a small hotel in a nice residential area. I could park our rental car right in front, no fighting downtown traffic or searching for a parking spot in Casco Viejo. Most touristy spots are a $5 Uber ride away if you don't have a car. Since the hotel is so small the pool area and courtyard are peaceful. The AC worked well. There were agoutis playing in the yard across the street. There aren't many services within walking range, so if you don't have a car, you may have to use Uber to get to a restaurant or use Uber Eats for food. They will cook you breakfast at the hotel.

Okay

It was just okay, nothing spectacular. The room was large but old and updated a big plus it had hot water, they advertised a restaurant but did not have one. The key to the room was padlocked to the key for the air conditioner in other words if you had two people in the room and one stayed behind you either had to leave that person without ac or you just had to ring the front door bell and wait to be let inn. Like I said just okay

Meh!

The pros: quiet - in residential area, clean, AC worked well once turned on, comfortable bed. Close to Albrook airport. Felt safe as single woman. Cons: HARD to find; Uber guy and I searched for 10 minutes d/t lack of signage & the facade doesnā€™t look like a hotel. NOTHING like the picturesā€¦.. Iā€™ll say that againā€¦ NOTHINGā€¦ not even close ; kudos the the marketing person! ;0) I should have taken pictures but I was too tired after traveling all day! Very Spartan. White walls, white linens, no artwork. Bars on the windows with no view. OLDā€¦ doors are warped & I got locked in my room when I was checking out. I had to jimmy the lock! Towels were gray and needed a good bleaching. The microwave looked to be from the late 70s. Fridge was maybe 90s. ā€œFurnitureā€ was built in concrete. No wood in the room! Amenities: when I arrived nothing was plugged in or turned on. I only needed the air and it took about 2 hrs to cool the room. There is nothing to eat within walking distance when itā€™s dark. If you uber it, the mall is close. There are no cups, glasses, or water in the room. Small generic shampoo and the smallest bar of soap Iā€™ve ever seen! There was a sign on the reception ā€œdeskā€ that said $90/nt. After spending $56 I didnā€™t feel cheatedā€¦ but at $90!!! Hell no!! Cheers!

Basic, decent clean room with working shower and A/C. The property appears more rundown than photos would suggest but there is a pool that appears to be in good working order. Breakfast was convenient and cheap. Quiet and safe location. We prefer to stay walkable to Casco Viejo so it seemed far to us but the price was good if you donā€™t mind Uber or you have a car. Friendly and accommodating staff.
