Hotel Residencial Cervantes — Hotel in David

I stayed one night in David between my last night in Boquete and my flight back to Panama City the next morning. Even though Boquete is only about 45 minutes away, I didn't want to risk missing the flight because of a problem with transport. I had no intention of doing anything David except eating one meal and sleeping for eight hours, and this hotel was perfect for that.||||The location was fine. It was a $2 taxi ride from the bus station and a $5 taxi ride to the airport. I had the hilarious and embarrassing experience of thinking the front entrance to the hotel was locked closed because I kept trying to pull it open rather than push it in. Note to self. The service at the front desk was friendly gave me an excellent recommendation on where to eat (Multi Cafe) that was only a few blocks away. I also found the grocery store and was able to pick up some water and snacks for the next day. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable enough; water was hot; TV worked; WiFi worked; A/C wall unit kept the room cool. It smelled like they were trying too hard to make it smell nice, but that is hardly a reason to reject the place, especially...

We stayed 3 nights. Parking was always a bit of a pain unless you came later at night.||Check in was easy but really no English spoken. There is always somebody at the desk, seemingly 24H. Note - the rooms are on the 1st floor and there is NO elevator - just stairs. Our room was very spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable. Shower was nice and hot. The AC unit looked a bit rough but it did an awesome job of keeping the room comfortable. The room was noisy by day but at night very quiet. There was always free coffee in the lobby. TV worked well but no English channels. WI-Fi was a good strong signal. Not many electrical outlets in the room. We had no maid service but it wasn't really an issue. Lots of eating / shopping in walking distance. There is no in room refrigerator or microwave and no hotel breakfast but we can recommend Multi Café, which is a few minutes walk to either location. We will stay here again for sure. Great price...

We live in Panama and come to David for medical visits and/or shopping usually. This is a great location a block from the park and above the laboratory where we have blood tests done. The hotel is very clean, friendly and helpful staff, and the bed was super comfortable. The rings are large with high ceilings. They gave us 2 bottles of drinking water each day, on request. The hotel is basic, no frills or extras, but we weren't expecting them at...
