We enjoyed the breakfast buffet, but several facilities, like the rooftop terrace, were closed. I think some parts of the hotel need renovation.
The staff was very friendly. However, the towels were worn, and the bed was poorly made—it only had a bottom sheet, not a blanket. The mattress was a bit hard, below the standard of a 5-star hotel. I'm leaving this review so they can restore the hotel to the high standard it deserves.
It was ok. It was within budget. It was not bad. You can call cabs and uber to pick you up also close to albrook mall about 12 minutes or less. Nice place to stay
The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Enough space on floor to open bags. Free shuttle only runs on the hour and the schedule can only be found at the hotel. The place to catch it at Terminal 2 is outside exit 17 and cross the road once. I will post pictures. I had a very good breakfast there.
Of all the hotels I’ve stayed in at this price range, it was the best. They even let me check in early for a small fee. Unusually, the hotel had face towels. The pool was great and very clean without too much chlorine. Nice view. The food offered at the restaurant was pretty good for hotel food. The room was very clean. Easy walk to the pier area.
The hotel is perfect for persons who have layovers in Panama and just want a quiet night’s rest. It is located about 8mins by car away from the airport and they offer an on the hour shuttle service for convenient travel to and from the airport.
The property is very beautiful- they have a green area, a pool, outdoor bar and grill and lounge areas. The staff is also very polite and helpful.
Perfect stay and I’d definitely go again. My only issue was that that wifi signal is very weak in the room. It is much stronger in the reception area which is a bit of a distance away from the rooms and it leaves you at a disadvantage if you wish for privacy to get in contact with friends and loved ones during your layover.

This hotel is an oasis in the heart of downtown! Clean and spacious public areas! It has an inside bar with a pool table, restaurant, beer pub and outdoor beer garden. The outside areas were filled with beautiful green tropical plants and flowers and the pool was clean. Love the decor all over and even in the elevator!! Our king size bed was comfy with plenty of pillows and the bathroom was clean, stocked well and had plenty of hot water. The only slightly negative thing I can say is that the carpet could be replaced but it was clean. The service was very good from the front desk to the beer garden to the restaurant. I would recommend this hotel to couples and large groups! Oh, they have a workout room also!
I really love this hotel I've stayed here a few times. I got a great deal from trip talk, this hotel cost me $106 a night with breakfast. I will say breakfast was disappointing at best. Not four or five star amenity breakfast. The eggs and The Omelette were real and they really need got out of espresso or cappuccino maker the coffee tasted like smog. There is a place next door and I would order my customized coffee and bring it to the restaurant which is pathetic that I had to do. I like the pool I like the view I like the staff everybody's professional it's a top notch Hotel and this is the second time I've stayed here. I didn't have any bad experience only positives.

The room is very large, and it's spacious enough to store your luggage.
Convenient transportation. There is a subway station nearby within a few minutes' walk.
There is a 24-hour convenience store next door downstairs, and there is a 24-hour restaurant at the intersection further east. Everything is very convenient.
The front desk manager CESAR R. was very nice and upgraded me to a suite, which made my six-night stay very comfortable. I will choose this hotel first next time I come back.
The front desk staff were very polite. One of the ladies, who looked like she was of mixed Chinese and American descent, even pronounced my words correctly. The location isn't near tourist spots; it's in a commercial area. There are plenty of yellow taxis to take you to the old town, which is very convenient. It's not far from the city center to the sluice gate, so it's best to leave early. Breakfast is quite good for a few dozen yuan. Although it's an old hotel, the world outside is vast and diverse. It was clean and safe, and I was satisfied with my stay!
This is a very overvalued hotel, in reality the amenities are quite a low standard, rooms need minor renovations, and the housekeeping and maintenance services need proper improvement!
Maintenance issues: the sink had overspread issue, drainage issue, toilet had overfilling issue with a noise, shower vents didn’t close fully, unless you master the “secret”; floor in the bathroom was steep towards the bedroom area, instead of being steep towards the drainage hole, the entrance door wouldn’t close without noise because of touching the floor..
Housekeeping: they attended the room only after i asked and reminded. Even then they once didn’t clean the floor, twice didn’t provide refills of the amenities (water, tissues, etc.). Only after my kind complaint to the reception, they finally fixed the issues.
The reception and restaurant staff are very nice, kind, and attentive! Thanks and well done!

GGuest UserGreat views of Panama City, very modern hotel as expected of the RiU chain with friendly bi lingual staff and many amenities. The pool area is stunning. Breakfast options spoilt for choice. Food is a 10/10
I totally loved it there

GGuest UserRoom was nice and comfortable though carpet had not been vacuumed in a long time.
Had a massage at the spa. Extremely disorganized and inexperienced massuese. With 30 minutes notice of my arrival there were no towels or robes ready. She kept bringing things one at a time even while i waz naked getting into the shower- bath mat, then robe, then robe belt, then towel, then slippers. I told her i just want back massage and done strong but i had to keep telling her where to rub and to be stronger.
Other than that the facility was nice
I used on line booking to book one day, then two more days then three more days. I always book for two but om the last three days something went wrong and somehow got booked only 1 person. Desk attendant told me $55 a day to change to two person. I think the app which i didn’t use the first two times defaulted to kne person and i didn’t have a chance to select two person
It waa extremely difficult to get a drink at the bar.
I did manage to get a drink at the bar then moved to a table. When i got the bill for items at the tae, the drink i had already paid for was on the bill. The waitress corrected it, thankfui had the bar receipt in my pocket
GGuest UserStayed 2 nights, hotel and room normal. In front of the hotel there is Av. Balboa, busy day and night, so you can hear a bit of noise.
During our stay there was construction work behind the hotel, so the pool (which is small for those who want to swim 7/7 m) is not nice to use because of the loud noise. The breakfast does not offer much choice and with products not at the level of a hotel of this rating. For the price I paid the quality/price ratio was OK, but I saw that it can also cost up to CHF 50.00 more per night. We will return to Panama City at the end of our tour of the country, but not to the Méridien.
Kind and competent staff, good WI-FI.

BBaqishizuzhuHotel design, cleanliness and location. The hotel is conveniently located in the financial district with many dining options nearby, suitable for both business and leisure travelers. The hotel's rooftop pool and gym are popular with guests, providing a nice view of the city.
PphoenixluckstarI feel the bed should be disinfected; I had rashes on my legs and body when I woke up this morning. The front desk staff seemed irresponsible; they made some requests, but I was easily brushed off. The location is relatively safe, and there are supermarkets nearby.
