What guests think

At Best Western El Dorado Panama Hotel, travelers consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff, convenient location near malls and restaurants, and generally clean, comfortable rooms with a solid free breakfast.

The pool and small gym draw positive comments, but ongoing renovations can bring morning noise and parking often feels tight. Suites and some rooms offer plenty of space, though some guests cite dated furnishings, humidity or musty smells, limited views, and occasional in-room Wi-Fi or TV problems. A few also mention temporary water outages and other maintenance hiccups. Expect a good value, practical stay with warm service.

I really like the property and have been there many times, but on our last stay they were doing construction early in the morning. Also, the wifi was not working on the first floor towards the front. Other than that, they have done a good job with renovations. I recommend the Best Western El Dorado just make sure they give you a room away from what's left of the renovations.

The free daily breakfast with varying hot dishes was a bonus with good hours of availability. The coin (quarters avail at front desk) operated washer ($2) and dryer ($3 for 45 mins) (med heat was hot enough) was convenient though you had to go to a store.(short walking distance) to get detergent. Short walk to many small restaurants of many varieties, and mostly chinese, coffee shops and bakeries was also convenient. The two issues I had was we did not have a mini fridge (not avail with a room with two double beds). The other issue is that the room was a bit damp when you have temps set at normal room temps. Only when set temp around 19C / approx 63F (a bit chilly), did the dampness go away.

I don't usually walk around a hotel room barefoot, but I did during my recent stay. When I went to put on my shoes, I was appalled to see the soles of my feet were very dirty. I had to wash them before putting my shoes on. This is a real shame. I've always liked this hotel, and the front-desk staff are always terrific. I trust this was a one-time aberration.

The property was nice and clean. Staff were ok but i didn't experience exceptional service like i saw in the reviews. That is fine once they are courteous enough, which they were. Breakfast was alright. There was a change in most of the foods every morning. The room was spacious, clean and the bed was comfortable. House keeping did a good job. There was some construction at the hotel, which led to a little noise. Outback of the hotel was an area for trucks and other larger vehicles, which also had a bit of noise. Besides that, our view of people's backyards.

We were in the heart of everything. Safe environment, friendly and respectful staff at the hotel and the people we encountered on the streets were so polite and friendly as well. The only thing that could make a difference there to get a 5 star is if they fix the noise the elevators make. Anywhere you are whether first, second or third floor you will get annoyed. I felt sorry for the guests who stayed in the rooms close to the elevators moreso. 24 hr noise because people are constantly using them. There has to be a way to fix this issue. Outside of that, we had fun sitting and chatting by the pool. Moses at the front desk was so nice to us. Will definitely go back there, hopefully by then the noise will be gone.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the exceptional Front Desk team—especially Alejandro, Jorge, and the administrative assistant whose name unfortunately escapes me at the moment. Throughout our stay, they demonstrated remarkable professionalism by being helpful in recommending various tourist sites and attractions, and consistently interactive, attentive, and highly efficient in addressing our needs. When we initially checked in and discovered that our assigned room next to the elevator was causing some disturbance due to noise issues, they handled the situation with remarkable professionalism and promptly relocated us to a more suitable room the very next morning, ensuring our comfort for the remainder of our stay. The breakfast options were excellent. I would definitely return when visiting Panama due to its easy access to all tourist sites. The taxi service was exceptional. Our driver demonstrated great professionalism, maintaining a friendly demeanor. His careful driving and thorough knowledge of the local roads made us feel completely at ease during our transfers.

Nice hotel and nice room on the inside, but located in a seedy part of the city fairly far away from city sights and the airport, and where they don’t recommend walking at night. There’s a TGI Fridays connected to the hotel with good American food. The pool looked nice but I didn’t use it. Staff was friendly and helpful.

It convenient and a 5minute walk to the El Dorado Mall. All the restaurants are withing walking distant and my family and I felt safe walking in the area. Please add more English speaking channels to your TV Guide, a movie channel would be nice, not just CNN and Fox News.
