We had a short stay here en route to Bocas Del Toro and found the accommodation very comfortable, restaurant at which we ate on 3 occasions provided excellent value for money (not always the case for hotel restaurants) and top food. I recall in particular a craving for something hot and spicy - half a dozen chicken wings for $2.50... More

It has been a while. We stayed at this hotel for 5 days and nights, and enoyed the friendly staff and good drinks. Casino action is something we always enjoy on all our trips where available. The casino at the hotel offers a fair variety of slots. I can say we won some money on the 3 reel coin machines,... More

I really enjoyed my stay at Continental Hotel and Cassino in Panama City (September 2011). The room was big and clean, good amenities and great breakfast. The staff was very helpful. One very important thing: they don't offer free wi-fi. There are good and inexpensive restaurants nearby (I recommend Restaurant Beirut) for a good meal.

This hotel is clean, has big rooms and excellent breakfast. On the other hand it does not offer free wi-fi, the queues checking in and out are terrible and there is a casino inside the hotel which I really dislike, but that's a matter of personal taste.
