Loved our stay at the Novotel! Staff was very nice and responsive to any of out needs. The daily breakfast buffet was delicious! We only dined at the lobby restaurant once but the food there was also yummy! The area arounf the hotel is safe and close to restaurants! Its a short and very cheap uber ride to all the major Panama city restaurants!! Highly recommend

Mostly loved the breakfast and the cleanliness. Staff cleaned my room everyday. They were also friendly. The only thing I didn’t like which I think they should consider is a microwave and laundry mart. But overall was a very good hotel.

property is central, front desk staff is friendly. rooms are very spacious, wooden floors (no carpet), very nice views of the panama skyline from my room. Machines in the gym seemed a little old and the light at the back of my bed didnt work properly but i wasnt staying in the room much in the evening so ultimately these things did not affect my stay in a significant way. It would have been nice to have a pool in the property like so many hotels in the city do but i suppose you cannot have everything. I still rate my stay to be excellent there.
