Metro Hotel Panamá — Hotel in Bella Vista

Centrally located and a bit tucked away on a minor road. The staff are friendly and helpful, but there's a but I'll come to shortly. The room was clean, except for the pillows which I'll also get to shortly. The only window was in the bathroom, which was covered with damage blinds and gave views only of the back of another building. Fixtures were in good condition, with only the bathroom counter showing some superficial damage from wear and tear. I enjoyed the included breakfast, which is your choice of several options put out for you, but you have to get there early. Though they state that breakfast is served until 10 if you get there by 9:45 or so there won't be much left. Now the "but": there were no towels in the room and 3 out of 4 pillows smelled a bit funky. The 4th was perfectly fine. Both issues were reported to the front desk the next morning (I only need one pillow and I was travelling with my own towels anyway). The front desk indicated that she would let housekeeping know and I left to see the city. On my return that evening I discovered that housekeeping had not been to the room at all. As I was leaving the next morning and I was tired I let it go and didn't raise the...

This is one of those confusing reviews, where the small things pile up to bring your rating down. The good: it's a modern hotel with a great location near Via Veneto and Via Argentina, with many great restaurants available nearby. It's clean and comfortable, with good AC and a nice outdoor seating area.||||The bad: as others have noted, your only window may be in the washroom and the pictures are very misleading. The service is typical for Panama City (dour, detached) and there's something about the manager guy that left a bad taste in my mouth; one of those "I'm very successful" kinda guys...?||||The ugly: this hotel has big open hallways, which is usually good, but if children are staying there, just cancel your reservation and leave, because they'll be running, screaming and banging things up and down the hallway for your entire stay and the echos from the big hallways will amplify...

Booked a stay with miles (AAdvantage). A low budget hotel with the feels of a boutique one. Pros: Nice and comfortable, in a centric location, not too close to the finantial district, but within walking distance, one block away from a main avenue. There's multiple stores, supermarkets, and pharmacy around, also is the subway station, which I didn't use since I love walking. Perfect for urban explorers. Staff was superb, nice and educated, helped me a lot. Installations are clean and in good shape, bathroom amenities were very good. Cons: couldn't find any, for a low budget hotel. In fact, it exceeded my expectations. Room was not so big, and hadn't a nice view, anyway, I was staying in a low floor, and just wanted a quiet room to stay for a couple of nights, so it worked for me. Enjoyed my stay at all. Would visit...
