Originally we made reservations at Hotel Alcala, only to learn upon arrival at 8pm they do not hold reservations. No credit card was requested at the time of reservation, nor were we advised they do not hold reservations. Because we knew Gran Hotel Nacional was a larger hotel, we checked in without incident. The room was clean and comfortable. Nice... more

My wife and I stayed in room 211 at the Gran Hotel Nacional in David for a couple of nights in April of 2009, paying $78 per day. The room was clean, nicely furnished, and was located in the original section overlooking the street. We selected the Gran Hotel Nacional because its pool was the best way to cool off... more

I don't know where those other reviewrs were staying, we thought the hotel was great. The entrance foyer was clean and spacious. The people in reception spoke little English, but were polite and helpful. To the left was a dining oom, clean and the food reasonable. The rooms were adequate, not five star, no shampoo, no coffee maker, but there... more

At $90 for a single for the night, this place is about what you'd expect for a $30 motel in Reno Nevada. No room Wifi, though its free in lobby, problem is lobby is not AC'd. Room ac was adequate at best. Desk staff spoke no english, when I was trying for directions on AM of check out, they and... more

I have literally lived the past 4 years in nothing but hotels and rentals around the world.This hotel earned the worst rating ever! 1- I booked online on their website the first time. When I arrived later at night, I was told they were full and referred me to another hotel. 2- On my return trip, I stopped at their... more

Upon arriving at the David airport my wife and I inquired of a good hotel to stay. The Hotel Nacional was recommended and got the hotel on the phone so that we could make a reservation. We rented a car and drove there ourselves (with directions) and found the hotel to be very nice, clean and well staffed. Rooms were... more

Very affordable clean hotel rooms and amenities. We liked that we could walk around at night and see some of the city and there were cinemas and stores and a casino close so we never needed to drive. The staff were very friendly! more

Lovely hotel

We stayed at the Gran Hotel Nacional while touring the provinces of Panama. The front desk people spoke primarily Spanish, of course, but there was always someone available with whom we could converse in English on duty in the hotel. Room was a very large, clean, bright place in the old European style of high ceilings and solid furnishings. Nice... more
