Hotels Near Parish National Shrine of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Panama City

The location of the hotel is very good. It is very convenient to go to the Panama Seaside Boulevard and the ancient city. You can use Uber to call a car. The room has a panoramic view of the city, the sanitation is very good, and the breakfast variety is quite rich. There is a large seafood market at the intersection of the seaside boulevard and the ancient city, where you can taste lobster, fried fish and South American food. The price is acceptable.

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...

I had a very mixed experience here. When I first got there I got moved to 4 different rooms because in each room something else was broken or falling apart. It almost became comical at a certain point. It seems like they just don't want to take the time to fix the issues in the rooms. The room was nice and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. It wasn't a terrible experience, and the price was good, but this would never be my first choice.

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.

My stay was okay, good location close to amazing restaurants and the multi plaza mall. Breakfast and bar was okay with friendly staff. However the flaws were the room was freezing cold; tried to adjust but remained cold. Turned off the ac for the entire trip but was never hot. Room needs more amenities; offered only coffee we had to ask for tea, no bathrobes or slippers. Also house keeping cleaned rooms at 4 and later when guests are returning from a long day and need to enter. Not a bad hotel but needs to fix those issues.

I had the best time staying at this hotel. The rooms were always clean and fresh. The staff was very pleasant and friendly and always ready to assist. Some notable mentions include the chief concierge Diana, who ensured that all my tours were on schedule, and who would have arranged a special birthday surprise in my room. The Canal bistro was always open on time for breakfast with exceptional service from the staff especially José and Fabio who were very pleasant and professional in performing their duties. Dinner in the Ancon Hill restaurant was also very good with excellent food and remarkable service from Sergio who was very warm, friendly and professional. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel and my wife and I will definitely stay here again on our return visit to Panama.

Temporarily intent to live for one day. The location is nearly 20 kilometers away from the airport. This time, Panama needs to remind everyone that when you check-in, you will be asked why you are going to Panama, and you will be required to show the ticket and the domestic accommodation certificate. At that time, I thought that I needed a yellow book when I bought a ticket on Ctrip. Therefore, I only bought the flight ticket and did not buy the flight ticket from the country. As a result, I was not allowed to board the plane when I checked in. I said that there are regulations. Fortunately, I contacted Ctrip SOS customer service urgently and asked for a flight ticket from Panama to Canada, which was completed within one hour, because it was only one hour away from the boarding time. Finally, through Ctrip English customer service and Panama Airlines, they finally agreed to register. The Yellow Book did not ask, a false alarm. After arriving in the Panamanian state, don't stay for 15 minutes when entering the customs to confirm whether there is any suspicion of staying in the country.

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.

Breakfast is not very good compared to five-star hotels, but it is not bad, not many types. The environment is good. There are four or five swimming pools, and the gym is OK. Two or three restaurants and bars are suitable for weekend relaxation. The price on Ctrip is the cheapest after comparing many homes
