I loved this hotel, it was fairly clean and divine. The idea to include coffee and tea making equipment, and a refrigerator in the deluxe room was nice.

The room was executive king, food was outstanding, and we had a fine time. Nice quiet area, central location. Apart from that, multicentro was 5 minutes away by driving. Loved WiFi and two windows in the room. The staff were all exceptional, great service.

Very well appointed and spacious hotel. The staff did all they can for a fairly nice stay. The room was impeccable and the bed was soft. Breakfast offered variety of food and was enormous. Found in a good enough area. The service here was perfect too.

Hotel's so close to main attractions like biomuseo. Lots of food for the buffet breakfast. Iglesia del Carmen subway stop is within walking distance of the place, some 15 minutes on foot. We liked riu plaza panama;))
