I don’t leave poor reviews unless they are warranted. No cups nor tissues in the bedroom, bathroom was in the hallway, which was unexpected. No creamer for coffee, etc. It’s the little things that make us stay great this facility is missing all of the little things.

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.

Wi-Fi wasn’t working, not as nice as the photos show it, no tv, no blackout curtain on street side window so when it’s dark out car headlights shine inside room. We found a hotel for $5 more that was twice as good with smart tv, balcony, mini fridge, room safe, better beds etc, etc!

Helpful staff

It was noisy at night. I was a light sleeper. On second day, the staff on duty at night offered a quiet room for me. It was very nice of them willing to do that.

Perfect spot in the heard of Panama City

Magnolia Inn was the perfect place for us to stay while in Panama City. Centrally located in the heart of Casco Viejo, it is near great restaurants, tours, etc. The hot shower was glorious, especially after coming back from San Blas Islands still sticky from sunblock and sand. We loved having the common areas, especially the kitchen, to keep our leftovers and save some money on meals. I would definitely go back there next time I’m in Panama!
