Hotel berhampiran Iglesia de la Merced, Panama City

I stayed only one night in this hotel, the infrastructure is dated, mirrors in the bathroom have black spots but the worst is no hot water in the shower. The basin had hot water but in the shower it was cold. I reported it to the front desk who said they would have someone look but that never happened. The staff were friendly, the breakfast buffet was nice but the hotel rooms really need a makeover. With so many other hotels in the vicinity, I moved out of the Crown Plaza and into another hotel chain nearby

Buen servicio buena ubicación buen desayuno y muy bueno el sushi del restaurante ....falta un poco de actualización en las habitaciones pues se sienten oscuras pero x lo demás muy bien, la gente de servicio amable.

As two 30-year-old travelers, we recently stayed at the Riande Urban Hotel in Panama City and had a pretty positive experience overall. We had read online that it was a good idea to request a room opposite to the courtyard due to potential noise, so we did that and were glad we did. Our room was quiet and comfortable, with nice air-conditioning to keep us cool in the Panama City heat. The hotel's bar area was really cute and had a great vibe, with a pool adjacent to it that we enjoyed using. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay, which was much appreciated. While the fitness room was a bit spartan for our tastes, we appreciated that it was available for guests to use. We also loved the hotel's location, which was close to public transport and within walking distance of grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants. Overall, we would recommend the Riande Urban Hotel to fellow travelers looking for a comfortable and convenient stay in Panama City.

Liked · Nothing went well, the only positive aspect which was actually the reason why I picked this property, is that the room was very large and spacious but itself was not enough to compensate the overall disaster. Disliked · Everything!!! Staff -barely speaking english and not helpful at all. The hotel was the only hotel who refused by HSBC Premium Visa and they were not able to provide any alternative solution, not even a normal bank transfer. Facilities - there was a single furniture or appliance in my room which was in DECENT conditions. I firstly was assigned to room 906 but since BOTH the kitchen since and the toilet were broken, they moved us to 908. LUCKILY was in the same florr since no one from the staff came to help us into moving 12 luggages from one room to the other. Additionally, in the ”new room” the fridge was broken so we wasted some food when we discovered that everything was warm inside. Compensation? Discount? Aplogies? a coupon for a breakfast? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FROM THE STAFF Cleanliness - all the walls, the windows, the curtains, the sheets, the floors and so one were dirty from dust, paint, different black/brown/white tracks. Sheets with dots, sofas with black stains, floor with paint, bed top covered in dust. Look at the state of the iron table or the coffe machine and tell me about cleanliness. Comfort - the bed were set as queen but were obviously full since we could barely fit in two. Value for money - the 800€ worst spent in my whole life, when I travel I specifically select only 4 stars hotel for a reason and this hotel was absolutely disgusting Bonus question - How was the view from your room? - street and lots of cigarettes under my window as you can see, despite the room was for nonn-smokers Bonus question - Kitchen facilities. First room cold water in the sink broken, I had to burn my hands to clean couple of cups. There was barely 2 forks and one mug despite the room was allocated for3-4 adults, in the first room we did not even have a coffe machine and in the second one the fridge was broken as said.

I had a very mixed experience here. When I first got there I got moved to 4 different rooms because in each room something else was broken or falling apart. It almost became comical at a certain point. It seems like they just don't want to take the time to fix the issues in the rooms. The room was nice and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. It wasn't a terrible experience, and the price was good, but this would never be my first choice.

If it wasn't for the pool I'd have given a higher rating. I stayed in the hotel for 11 nights. No complaints about it as I had a nice big room, everything was clean and the staff were pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, the pool area lets the hotel down very badly and it was because there was a pool that I had chosen to stay there. I checked with 2 different people and they confirmed it was part of the hotel. The pool itself was clean but that's all I can say that's positive. There was rubbish all round the edges of the pool area, including under the stairs, the artificial grass was a mess with bits of debris on it, there were no sunbeds (the photo is clearly well out of date), there were 3 old, scruffy and dirty mattresses and the white plastic chairs were dirty. The screens covering the stored paddleboards around the sides were dirty and had bird poo on them. There were weeds. Interestingly, at weekends when there were a lot of paddle boarders, sun umbrellas, clean chairs and an awning were put out. It's a pity that the hotel guests, who were paying to stay there, weren't treated so well. There were 1, sometimes 2, men 'working' there. For hours every day they sat staring at their mobile phones, doing absolutely nothing. Perhaps this is just down to personal taste but the noisy music from the 2 adjacent restaurants was awful. Someone needs to take a good look at the pool area, get it cleaned up and invest in some sunbeds, mattresses and clean chairs. It needs to be actively managed rather than just left to deteriorate. Be warned: if you want a hotel with a nice pool to relax beside, and peace and quiet, go elsewhere.

I stayed in Novotels everywhere in the world, but this one is most simple i saw before. It’s ok for night stay, because clean, quiet and comfortable. Only one thing very surprised me - for meeting guest in room they ask 65$ (I pay for room 50$). All Novotels in the world allow to have guests, this not.

La atención excelente , personas amables, solo me gustaría que pusieran un poco de música más divertida y moderna , de resto todo bien

We are very happy to have found this property, the rainforest right outside the city. We split our stay in Panama between Panama City and the rainforest and this hotel did not disappoint. Our balcony overlooked the forest and every morning we opened our door to hear the birds, frogs, and one morning, a howler monkey. We took advantage of the tours to see the sloths, butterflies, frogs and the other animals whose habitat is the golf and resort property. There are very nice trails you can explore on your own or sign up for a guided tour. We also took advantage of the shuttle to go to the Parque Metropolitan where we spent more time in the natural beauty of Panama. I highly recommend adding this stop to a trip around Panama City to see the natural side of the area. The hotel does need updating. As with a lot of places, the place probably suffered during the pandemic. However, every member of the staff we came in contact with went above and beyond to make us comfortable. They were very kind and accommodating, and very helpful since we do not speak Spanish and sometimes that was a challenge. I highly recommend this property and look forward to returning.

This wasn't good experience. Room with ”garden view” actually room with parking lot view. There was crumbs in the room. And cockroaches. Room is exhausted and outdated. Breakfast with minimum options: cereals, fruits cuts, scrambled eggs (poorly done), sausages, some kind off local flatbread and one type of cookies for dessert. Didn't answer me by email and ignored phone calls. Staff is friendly but unhelpful. 5 minutes from airport but I wasn't successful to get through to them to ask for picking me up or get the shuttle schedule.
