"Very clean and quaint hotel. The staff were very friendly. The Congrejo area is nice and safe and within walking distance to lots of good restaurants and shops. 10 minute $5 uber ride to Casco Viejo. I rented a pick up truck and they have lots of free parking in the side lot that’s roomy and safe. I was very pleasantly surprised as I wasn’t expecting the hotel to be this nice based on the price. I’d have no apprehension in recommending this hotel to anyone visiting Panama City."

"The location is very good and the staff, especially in Gastro Bar were exceptionally good, very pleasant, friendly and helpful despite my very limited Spanish. The staff at the desk were also really good and the only criticism I have is about the rooftop bar area. It looked dated and in need of a refresh along with the front of the hotel which was being worked on during my stay."

The Executive Hotel

The Executive Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I had a very pleasant stay at the Executive Hotel in Panama City this past weekend. The location is truly one of its strongest assets, situated in the Obarrio area, you are surrounded by countless restaurants, bars, and things to do, all within walking distance or a fairly short Uber ride. If you want to explore further, for example, Casco Viejo is just a quick 15-minute Uber ride away. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate during my stay, so I wasn’t able to enjoy the pool. However, the breakfast more than made up for it, with fresh fruit, a variety of options, and a well-organized setup that made mornings easy and enjoyable. The staff throughout the hotel were consistently attentive, polite, and professional, which always makes a difference. The overall feel of the hotel reminded me of the efficient, well-run three-star hotels you often find throughout Europe, nothing overly luxurious, but clean, comfortable, and exactly what you need for a restful stay. If you’re looking for a centrally located, reliable place to stay in Panama City where you can get a great night’s sleep and be close to everything, this hotel is a solid choice."
