Hostal Sweet Home Panama — Hotel in Bethania

For our last night in Panama, we stayed at My Home. We picked it, based on the photos of the property, which didn't really give us a good idea of what to expect. The hotel is right on a very busy street, with traffic roaring by day and almost all the night. The room we were given was just off the balcony, and as a result, we heard talking from people sitting outside our windows for quite a while after we went to bed. There probably were quieter rooms, so ask for one on the back of the house if this is a concern. You need to be rung in and out of the hotel; you cannot get a key to the outside door.||||The room had one large bed and two bunks; the bathroom had obviously been retrofitted, but was very strangely laid out. Upon opening the two double doors to the bathroom, the toilet was right in front; turn left into the shower, and then right into the room with a sink.||||Breakfast is included, and was simple: eggs and two pieces of toast with jam. Unfortunately, the water in Panama tasted faintly moldy, so the coffee was unpalatable.||||After we'd booked the room, friends looked at the website and saw something I had not, as I'd booked through booking.com - the hotel appeared to be very religiously themed. The website mentioned Christian music piped into rooms, bibles in the rooms, etc. etc. Much to my relief, religion was not obviously on display, though this may appeal to other travelers.||||The people at My Home were friendly, and the check in and out process was simple. If you are a woman traveling alone, or with another woman, this place might be fine, but there are probably other more comfortable places to stay for not a whole...

Los dueños del Hostal se publicitan cristianos, pero no todas las personas que llegamos lo somos. De hecho una de mis noches allí, salí a la sala de estar, y que sale un tipo gritando sin camisa, rumbo a una habitación que estaba frente a la mia, y que susto, dándole golpes e insultando a los que estaba dentro, que parecian ser sus amigos. Y nadie del personal se enteró siquiera.||Mi habitación daba a una terraza y de noche todo el mundo haciendo ruido a lado de mi ventana y no pude dormir bien y a eso sumale que esta a la orilla de una carretera concurridisima, y de alto trafico pesado, horrible el ruido de los camiones. Me toco sino en la peor, en una de las peores habitaciones; los resortes de la cama me abrazaron, la entrada al baño es a través de unas raras persianas que parecen parte de un closet y que crees??? cucarachas en el lavamanos!!!, pero es que ese baño tiene una ventana que da a la cocina. Cuanto lo lamenté. Venia super cansada de ese viaje. Punto positivo: El personal de limpieza es muy amable...

I stayed there one month for 200, that's more convenient than paying per night. 24 hours supermarket in front, security 24 hours and they also have laundry services for 5 dollars per time. Mall near there and bus stop "ángeles" just 3 minutes walking distance.||||WiFi, Cable and some other...
