El cuarto super lindo y la cama muy comoda, el.problema es que el aure acondicionado hace mucho ruido. Seria genial si tuviera un restaurante al menos para un pequeño desayuno, pero es mas tipo hostal.

Los vecinos de las casas a un costado hacian tanto ruido ... no me dejaron dormir. Seria bueno un poco de aislamiento del ruido exterior. Y pues el aire aco dicionado hacia mucho ruido asi que enfrie el cuarto y lo apague para poder dormir. Es una pena por que el cuarto y el servicio fueron excelentes.

Perfect spot
From the moment i stepped inside the staff greeted me with open arms. Because I arrived early I stored my bags while I headed out for an early lunch and a drink. The location was great. One corner of the block offered a wine bar, the other corner a brewery, and right next door to that another great restaurant/bar. Two blocks beyond that there was a mini mart two minutes beyond that the laundromat .Made a few stops in the story and it had everything I needed to make my week long stay a bit more comfortable. I was on a side street so hearing any cars or people wasnt any issue. Location was the best. Walking distance from plenty of dining options and sites.

Skip this hotel
Hotel was just okay. Would I stay here again probably not. No up keep, not the cleanest of hotels. Sand in our sheets making me believe sheets were not changed. Old used coffee filters in coffee machine with no new coffee to use, room was on 3rd floor no elevators in case you are traveling with people with disabilities. Did have some views. Again was just ok, more like a fancy hostel!

Meget fint hotel
Dejligt hotel, der ligger perfekt. Hotellet har gratis byomvisning hver morgen kl 9.45. Virkelig gode steder at spise morgenmad rundt om hjørnet. Kaffen i Panama er udsøgt!
Hotellet har en lounge med køkken som bruges af rygsækrejsende - vi brugte det ikke, men det var hyggeligt.

Lugar muy bueno para el precio pagado. Ubicado en el centro del casco histórico, rodeado de restaurantes y las principales atracciones. El staff muy amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Tiene la opción de tours gratis (basado en propinas) a pie en la parte del centro, lo cual sirve de mucha ayuda para conocer la zona y la historia. Sin dudas lo recomiendo

The place itself is nice enough. But our room ran out of hot water and they could not fix it until next day.

Great location
Room was large, beds comfortable, great a/c. This is a basic hotel (no hairdryer, no cups, no elevator, etc) but the location can’t be beat.
