I am leaving this hotel today, but I must warn you how awful this place truly is. It started out with my pick up at the airport. They say they are always on time. WRONG!!! Even though the pick up is free (Their only redeeming quality), it was late by an hour an 30 minutes. Once they driver got there,... more

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. I have stayed in this hotel every year since it first opened, watched it gain popularity, and have enjoyed... more

Airport pick up was good and the bus they use is modern and rides well. The hotel is a dump!. There is no maintenance on anything. The shower doors had no wheels - you had to pick them up and drop them where you wanted them. There was no shower head, just a pipe. The bed was good but the... more

hotel marparaiso is less of a hotel for sleeping and more of a hotel for taking one of the hookers hanging out downstairs up to your room and not sleeping on the crappy nasty old beds. it is on an extremely busy noisy street and once you come to panama city you will realize that everyone honks their horns here... more

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
