The hotel is a little outdated, but everything was in order. If you don't mind things a bit old and worn, it's a great budge hotel. The the room was spacious with a desk, chair and mini fridge, the shower was hot, the sheets, towels and room clean, the staff friendly and a breakfast of eggs and toast included. The location was great, parks nearby, ocean front park 2 blocks away with a "Panama" sign. Streets looked and felt safe, yes there were some homeless people but less than I have seen elsewhere in the city. Bonus - a low budget restaurant across the street for supper with a very friendly proprietor couple.

Very Basic Bed & Breakfast. It's an older hotel, only 2 blocks from Loteria metro station. The staff is very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room is very clean. The water is hot. The breakfast is scrambled eggs and toast. Cold air conditioning, VERY loud. Only 1 outlet in room, where Wi-fi is inconsistent. Good Wi-Fi in lobby and dining area. Good choice for a Budget Traveler with business in the city. Would stay there again.

This is my first time at this hotel. I was surprised at how friendly they are and that, though it's an inexpensive hotel, they provide breakfast (scrambled eggs and toast or rice cakes) included with the room. Unlike others in this price range, they also provide daily housekeeping.

No face towels, no soap. Doors were missing door handles. Some of the beds in our group had “stains” on the bed sheets. Had to sleep with clothes on - on top of the bed. Complimentary breakfast was toast with an egg…..Lots of homeless people hanging around the hotel area. Would not recommend this hotel.

They couldn't find my reservation but I had kept the record. It is close to a metro station, a McDonald, and a government building, so l wouldn't say it's unsafe. But streets are littered with garbage. The free breakfast was provided with scrambled egg (small portion) , coffee, fruit drink and toast, which is nice. The facilities are dilapidated.

Havia no quarto apenas um ar condicionado muito velho barulhento. Não tinha frigobar, para colocar uma água gelada. Mas, como era apenas para passar uma noite. Mesmo sem os ingredientes normais que contém um quarto de hotel, atendeu a necessidade.
