Great stay! There were some blimps, but the staff was courteous and solution oriented. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and the AC worked perfectly.
Clean rooms. The ac works great. The bed was really comfortable. We forgot something in our room after checkout and the staff was super helpful in retrieving it and keeping it until we could grab it.
Taylor- The property was perfect. Well maintained, lovely decor, lovely rooms. I stayed in a suite for new years and it was lovely. Clean and comfortable rooms. The hotel is in a perfect area. Close to everything! Malls, food, shopping, supermarkets, transportation and more. They also have airport shuttle for a small fee and the driver is great! The staff at the hotel were lovely and very helpful. I would stay here when I return. Thank you Exe Oriental! Happy New Year.
This was a great stay. I loved this hotel. In a great walkable area. the room was very spacious and clean, The bathroom was also very spacious and clean. The staff:front desk, cleaning service and the people in the restaurant were all great. This is a really good hotel especially for the price. I can't wait to stay here again.
What I liked most about the property was the close proximity to amenities and attractions. There was one helpful front guest agent and he made the experience wonderful and spoke very well Englis.
Enjoying my stay, staff are courteous, helpful, and customer service minded. The neighborhood is walkable with restaurants, markets, Farmacias and various small unique shops.
Excellent experience. Thank you Exe Oriental Hotel.
The hotel is good but has potential to be better. Amenities such as teabags and water are not provided in the room and so you have to request these separately. I think basic necessities like these should be readily available in the room. In this hotel (or maybe this area) there are signs in the bathrooms prohibiting flushing of anything other than bodily excrements. So you cannot even flush toilet paper so keep that in mind. The outside seated terrace as advertised is run down and requires upkeep and it’s not readily accessible to guests nor is it clean enough to make you want to stop and sit down there. The hotel is good for people who are staying for one or two nights. It is not cosy enough for longer stays in my opinion. It’s an okay hotel for people who are out during the day and need somewhere clean and safe to sleep at night. It has the potential to be so much better if these matters are addressed because there are supermarkets, metro and restaurants in close proximity so ideal location. Otherwise an affordable stay and the staff are kind and friendly. The cleaners clean the room to a decent standard daily as well. I hope my feedback is received kindly and constructively and no disrespect intended.
The hotel is great, posh, with a modern decor and a nice ambience, the staff was very kind and attentive, Obarrio is a mix of really nice buildings and clean streets with run down properties and trash on the ground but this is more a Panama thing... The hotel is great, the location privileged and safe even if it doesn't look like it
This hotel is perfectly located in the middle of the city for me. 5 minutes walk to the subway 4 minutes walk to Crown casino 6 minutes walk to another two casino in different direction. Supermarket and shopping mall 4 minutes walk.
Suspect hotel was made for business clients. Very convenient to metro (and Venezuelan embassy). No pool :-(. Need taxi to be tourist but no tourist brochures at hotel.
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It advertises parking but they just have a guy who finds parking on the street and then they keep your keys. That would be my main complaint. Also, the breakfast was not good. The cheese looked like it had been sitting out for a several days and the eggs were cold.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The staff, Nelly, Joel and the whole gang were amazingly friendly. That was the best part of our stay....the friendliness of the staff. The breakfast was amazing. Something for everyone. The coffee machine ...Oh my! Cappuccino, Latte...any type of gourmet coffee, that machine delivered! The room we stayed in was a simple king, the bed could have been softer, but, wasn't bad. The location was perfect and close to everything. We would stay here again.
The negative....NO POOL
The room was extremely nice and comfortable, providing a relaxing environment throughout my stay. The staff were especially attentive and made it their mission to ensure I felt welcome and at ease, which I truly appreciated.
Upon arrival my flight landed at 6 a.m. and I reached the hotel around 7am and they allowed me to check in early for a $30 fee, which was a great convenience.
There were, however, a few areas for improvement. Although the hotel indicated that dental kits were available, when I requested one in the evening, I was told I'd have to wait until housekeeping arrived the next day. Unfortunately, they forgot, and I had to remind them in the morning though to their credit, it was delivered promptly after that.
Breakfast was quite disappointing. The selection felt limited, and although pancakes were advertised, there were none available on the day I visited only bread. I believe there are better breakfast options elsewhere.
The Wi-Fi connection was unreliable, and I found myself relying on my mobile data most of the time. Additionally, one of the elevators wasn’t servicing my floor, which made waiting for the other elevator a bit frustrating.
On the positive side, the hotel’s location is excellent close to El Metro and just a few stops from Albrook and Albrook Mall, which was very convenient.
All in all, despite a few hiccups, I wouldn’t mind staying at this hotel again in the future.
The room was perfect , but some items doesn't work well, the shower handles were broken, the soap dispenser and the soap stand were loose from the wall and continuously fallen to the floor, the white towels are off white, need a better laundry The room was great, but there were some issues with the amenities. The shower handles were broken, and the soap dispenser and stand were loose, causing them to constantly fall to the floor. Additionally, the white towels had a slightly off-white hue, suggesting they could benefit from better laundry treatment. On a positive note, the front desk staff were very responsive and helpful, and the location was fantastic, with plenty of good restaurants nearby and a safe area to walk around.
Rooms in good condition, beds comfortable but no USB outlets in rooms. Restaurant always empty, hallways dark on most floors, elevator and key cards janky. Hotel does NOT look like promo photo. Staff meh...some eran muy amable, otros no mucho.
