This hotel is located in an area lined with hotels. The rooms are simple, clean and relaxing. It was a shame that they only had a shampoo and conditioner set, but other than that, there were no particular issues.

Always stay at Hilton as Diamond members for many years, and was pleasantly surprised by how good this Garden Inn turned out to be. It apparently reopened under new management last year, and has been spruced up. The service is excellent, with a lot of staff, and the restaurant is surprisingly good (versus what you might expect with a Garden Inn) with a lot of variety and quality. Overall it competes very well with the two more expensive Hilton hotels in Panama City, where we used to stay on visits, but at a much lower price.

We stayed here for 5 nights to be able to acclimatise to the weather in Panama. We got a room with windows to the floor, which gives a nice touch for the view over the city. The room is ok, spacious, but worn out. Specially the bathroom is in need of a make-over. The beds were mixed, one had a good mattress the other a soft one with a dent in it. Wifi worked very well. Very friendly staff. My main reason for 3 starts is that this hotel advertises itself as adhering to Planet 21, (link to Accor Planet 21 site removed  ) meaning amongst others that they are reducing food waste. Well, have a look at the pictures here and you'll see that a small portion of jelly is in a plastic cup, the abricot jam is in plastic, the butter is in plastic, and the youghurt as well. The third picture shows you the waste after having had breakfast... I know I have a sweet tooth ;) So, not really planet 21...

The decoration of the hotel is a bit old, but the service is very good. Some of the big bed rooms have a locked door on the TV wall that connects to the next room. I told the front desk that I wanted to change rooms. The front desk changed rooms twice and they all had doors. In the end, they changed my room directly. Arrived at the suite with kitchen and living room. The front desk can also exchange it for $100, but the service is really unsatisfactory.

El hotel cumple con todo lo que se busca: las habitaciones son espaciosas, el servicio funciona muy bien. El desayuno estilo buffet no es tan variado, pero cumple con todo lo necesario para comer bien. Las instalaciones son lindas y agradables, sobretodo el área de la piscina y del bar. El personal en general muy amable y dispuestos a ayudar con todo lo que sea necesario. Lo que si, solicitar habitaciones que no estén cerca del área del bar, pues el fin de semana se escucha bastante el ruido, aunque no llega a ser molesto. La piscina es muy linda. Lo que sí, al parecer guardan cerca los contenedores de basura, porque algunos días, con el calor, se sentía un olor fuerte. Todo lo demás, excelente

Breakfast was average, the room was not cleaned carefully and the towels were not clean. Outdated facilities, but there are welcome drinks and champagne in the lobby, this is very good

Service: The customer service was very good! All the individuals were very warm and courteous, especially the staff at the kitchen in the mornings. Breakfast : The breakfast was very good. There were many items to choose from. They also tried to switch up the different food items/options daily. Location: The hotel is a little distant from the Tocumen airport, maybe about 20-30 minutes drive. The hotel is right beside a KFC. There are a few restaurants and a bar nearby as well. Taxis are easy to get at the hotel. Depending on your destination, fare is from 5USD up. Casco Viejo is about 15 minutes away. Amenities: I didn’t really love the amenities. They were no toothbrush/toothpaste provided and other common things that I expected as it relates to amenities. Birthday: It was my spouse’s birthday and we went out and came back and saw that the hotel left a delicious slice of cake, fruits and a letter on our table for my spouse. THANK YOU!!!!😊😊😊😊😊 The hotel was clean. The lobby area is great for photos. The check in process was smooth. The pool has a bar and restaurant with reasonable prices! We enjoyed our stay 😊😊😊

Good service, good location, good breakfast and very good sushi in the restaurant....the rooms need a bit of updating because they feel dark but the rest is very good, the service people are friendly.

If it wasn't for the pool I'd have given a higher rating. I stayed in the hotel for 11 nights. No complaints about it as I had a nice big room, everything was clean and the staff were pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, the pool area lets the hotel down very badly and it was because there was a pool that I had chosen to stay there. I checked with 2 different people and they confirmed it was part of the hotel. The pool itself was clean but that's all I can say that's positive. There was rubbish all round the edges of the pool area, including under the stairs, the artificial grass was a mess with bits of debris on it, there were no sunbeds (the photo is clearly well out of date), there were 3 old, scruffy and dirty mattresses and the white plastic chairs were dirty. The screens covering the stored paddleboards around the sides were dirty and had bird poo on them. There were weeds. Interestingly, at weekends when there were a lot of paddle boarders, sun umbrellas, clean chairs and an awning were put out. It's a pity that the hotel guests, who were paying to stay there, weren't treated so well. There were 1, sometimes 2, men 'working' there. For hours every day they sat staring at their mobile phones, doing absolutely nothing. Perhaps this is just down to personal taste but the noisy music from the 2 adjacent restaurants was awful. Someone needs to take a good look at the pool area, get it cleaned up and invest in some sunbeds, mattresses and clean chairs. It needs to be actively managed rather than just left to deteriorate. Be warned: if you want a hotel with a nice pool to relax beside, and peace and quiet, go elsewhere.
