The hotel and rooms were very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the pool area which was well kept and had plenty of seating. The breakfast was really good with a lot of options. Right next door is Fridays and there is an Italian restaurant across the street. There is also a pharmacy across the street. Easy and quick access to things if you don’t have a car.

We stayed three nights in this hotel. Overall this hotel is nice, clean and quite good value. The included breakfast is good. It is located in the heart of El Dorado with many restaurants, supermarkets and shops close to the hotel. El Dorado is considered to be a safe area in Panama City with a very large Chinese community. The hotel is quite close to the Panama Canal and the old town. It costed about USD 5-8 to take a taxi or UBER from the hotel to the old town.
