One night at the Hotel Costa Inn gave me a bad impression of Panama City. No towels, no AC (they stated they have AC), dirty sheets and located on a busy street. Why I write a bad review however is the staff. Very rude when I checked in (heard them say a few bad words in Spanish about me and... more

The only thing nice about this place was the rooftop pool. It had an amazing view and the pool was a nice place to go and cool off. The room was Boring, not comfortable, and extremely small. Don't remember the staff being all that bad. The restaurant was not good at all. Location was okay, we had a pretty far... more

This hotel appears to intentionally overbook and then move people to inferior hotels owned by them. First we were told the rooms were not ready, then we were told that a tour group had not checked out yet. An hour after we arrived, we were told that there were no rooms and they would transport us to another hotel owned... more

We recently spent a week in Panama and found that our guidebook was completely in error regarding the ease of finding reasonably-priced lodging in Panama City. The place is booked solid and I spent a few hours finding us a place to stay. But after changing hotels 3 times, we found the Hotel Costa Inn. This hotel, while not perfect... more

Hardly the best hotel in the world but a great value for money. One great advantage: they have their own parking place, very hard to find in Panama city. Old, but friendly staff and very clean. more

I arrived at the Costa Inn at 10pm and immediately after paying for my first night found out that the entire building was without... more

I thought we were off to a great start after I booked this hotel and quickly received a welcome email from the manger offering us complimentary airport pickup. He seemed professional and friendly and I was excited about my stay. To start, we land in PTY and there is no one there to pick us up. Oh well, it happens…we... more

I recently stayed at this hotel when traveling with my mother during Christmas of '06. We booked 2 rooms on the 5th floor. As long as you stay on this floor away from the main street, you will have a pleasant stay. The rooms are small, but VERY clean. Also the included breakfast is nice(you can pick items 1-3 on... more

DON'T GO THERE Located on an incredibly busy and very loud street, the blaring buses awake you at 4 a.m. Smallish rooms that don't smell good and lukewarm shower water make conditions unpleasant. The restaurant food is overpriced but the beer prices are reasonable. The staff smiles sweetly but really doesn't understand your request. They missed a very important wake... more
