A bit rundown, shabby hotel topped with lackluster service. On the sixth floor where the "wonderful pool" is located, staff had broomed the floor and left the dirt at the access door to the terraza and the pool area, it remained all day. No attention to detail. Worst restaurant ever and the breakfast offered is inedible (hard arepas and empanadas,... More

For 66$ I stayed in a clean, air conditioned room that was in a safe district in the city. Cabs were at my doorstep, a free delicious breakfast awaited me every morning and the nightly dips in the rooftop pool was the icing on the cake. The staff spoke English and they were very helpful in every way possible.

Ok, the hotel is old and needs refurbishing, but if you are ok with that, then the hotel is actually very good. The staff at the reception is very helpfull and provides you directions for -let's say- the supermarket or ways to walk (or not to walk). Furthermore, the hotel has free transportation to and from the big malls in... More

This place is a decent value. You can't expect the Taj Mahal for sixty six bucks a night. When we first entered our room we were hit by the overpowering smell of fruity mothballs. I could not stand it, so I grabbed a plastic bag and wrapped the "air fresheners"in it and the smell became bearable. The pool was vacant... More

I stayed one week at Costa Inn Hotel with my mom on Dec 2011, price fit my budget perfectly. I think before rating this hotel or any other in Panama city you must understand its culture. Panamanians are not friendly, there are even signs on street (Albrook) that says: “Smile to the tourist”, so we shouldn’t blame the hotel for... More

I needed a cheap hotel in Panama and this one met my expectations. It's not a great hotel, it's old and the rooms could use some improvement, mainly the bathrooms. But the room was comfortable enough for a 2 night stay. The breakfast is decent and their restaurant has a great menu for lunch (inexpensive too). The swimming pool at... More

There is one lovely woman at the reception, Marketa (spelling?) She made a couple of phone calls for dinners for us. We asked two different men at the desk to make a call to the restaurant for a reservation. In a very surly tone, we were told that we had a phone in our room. My husband asked if the... More

Let's start by saying I stayed here in 2009 and although it was cheap, you still got decent breakfast, free transport to hotel from airport and to malls, and friendly efficient staff, so what the hotel lacked in shine and polish it more than made up for in value, so it was I chose to rebook again for November 2012....
