"Great hotel in Panama for both short and long stays, with super friendly, warm, and helpful staff who bring a lot of positive energy to the experience, and the colorful design makes the place feel lively and welcoming. I ended up here unexpectedly after getting stuck in Panama due to visa issues, and I was really lucky to find a hotel that recognized my VIP status, checked me in very early in the morning, and supported me when I needed it. Communication was easy since most of the staff speak some English, breakfast offered a nice mix of local and international options, and overall service was excellent. There’s still some room for improvement in room maintenance (like a few lights not working and the desk chair needing replacement), but the room itself was very spacious with great city views."
