The other reviewers are all correct in their on ways; this hotel (not hostel) is an excellent value for the airport pickup alone (as long as you stay more than one night)! This hotel is surprisingly in a great location as far as planning trips, excursions, and taking tours around the neighborhood. We looked at several hotels & hostels online,... more

Stayed here while transiting through PC to Bocas. The rooms were cheap and I didn't find the area the hotel was located in too daunting after walking around there late in the afternoon. The rooms looked OK for $25/night and included the shuttle if you stayed 2 nights or an additional $10 if you only stayed 1 which was way... more

I'm a budget traveler and I make frequent trips to Panama City. I used to love the Hotel Marparaiso. It's in a central location, the restaurant has decent food and reasonable hours, and best of all there's the free airport shuttle.

The best value anywhere in Panama. Pickup from airport is free, return is about $8.00. The hotel is clean, safe, hot water showers, air conditioned and very reasonably priced. The restaurant is good but cheaper meals can be had within walking distance or take taxis to via Espana for $1.25. more

They pick me up at the airport and took the express route to the hotel and passpast all the traffic. Rooms were clean, food good and all the desk clerks spoke english. Not the Hyatt but I wasn't paying for the Hyatt more

I booked a room at this hotel because I ran across a positive review on another site, and the hotel's web site looked good. They also were the only budget hotel that offered free airport pickup (worth at least US$20). Well, I waited around the airport around 20 minutes before calling the hotel to find out when they would be... more
