Loved it all! Will not stay close to the entrance... the ringing of the doorbell bell kept us awake... Will request a room in the back or if you eliminate that door ring, it would be a major improvement for those of us who travel from far away and need to sleep.

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.
