Friendly and cordial staff. Great free breakfast with ample hours. Convenient walk to restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops. Overall in Panama, you can expect anything imported from the US to be over twice the cost if not more. Local produce and foods are much cheaper though.

Convenient and confortable.

The location is very convenient for me, and the area is also convenient because it has options to eat, supermarket, and a small shopping center nearby. My only negative feedback is that the building needs a bit of work, paint. Breakfast is good.

Not great, but consistently average

My go to hotel when I go to El Dorado. The hotel is consistent so it takes some of the guess work out of trying to figure out where to stay. Breakfast is a little weak and has gotten steadily worse over the last year so I will probably start looking for another hotel with break fast or stay somewhere where I can go for breakfast outside of the hotel.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the exceptional Front Desk team—especially Alejandro, Jorge, and the administrative assistant whose name unfortunately escapes me at the moment. Throughout our stay, they demonstrated remarkable professionalism by being helpful in recommending various tourist sites and attractions, and consistently interactive, attentive, and highly efficient in addressing our needs. When we initially checked in and discovered that our assigned room next to the elevator was causing some disturbance due to noise issues, they handled the situation with remarkable professionalism and promptly relocated us to a more suitable room the very next morning, ensuring our comfort for the remainder of our stay. The breakfast options were excellent. I would definitely return when visiting Panama due to its easy access to all tourist sites. The taxi service was exceptional. Our driver demonstrated great professionalism, maintaining a friendly demeanor. His careful driving and thorough knowledge of the local roads made us feel completely at ease during our transfers.
