What guests think

At Plaza Paitilla Inn, travelers consistently praise the central waterfront location, sweeping bay and city views from spacious rooms, and an abundant breakfast buffet, while reporting friendly staff and generally good value.

Common gripes include street and party noise, patchy in room Wi-Fi, occasional maintenance or odor issues, and inconsistent front desk or restaurant service (including unfulfilled wine perks). Facilities such as the large pool, small gym, spa, bar and terrace draw praise, though loungers and pool areas can feel worn or crowded. Overall, expect a convenient, view-heavy stay with strong breakfasts and friendly service, tempered by some noise and service variability.

Great location, the breakfast buffet was very tasty with a great variety of options. The pool was large and clean. The shower had great water pressure. There was a party the last night downstairs that was noisy way until the morning. It was distracting on the 4th floor. Also, there was no hot water at 4:00 am when we had to get ready for our flight.

Always get the ocean view rooms. Resonably priced and includes full buffet breakfast. Self parking free, or valet for $5. Happt hour spans hours into the evening. Dinner sandwiches, burgers,/etc are very good and ceviche is fantastic. Most enjoy sitting on outside patio vs inside which is not as nice and lacks ocean views and breeze.

My favorite was the selection of natural juices. Simply delicious! The room was clean and spacious. The pool was clean and absolutely wonderful, surrounded by lush greenery. The location, superb. There is a gift store and hairdressing salon on the property. Very reasonably priced. I recommend visiting this property if you plan on visiting Panama.

Clean hotel in the city of Panama with beautiful panoramic views. The staff were friendly and accommodating with any needs. The hotel also offers a variety of different breakfast options each day. However, there was a pungent smell coming from the bathroom sink drain early in the mornings & I really wish the room had a microwave.

The cleanliness of the hotel rooms was extremely poor. The bed sheets were stained and torn. Everything was covered in dust, and if you touched anything, you would end up covered in dust as well. The windows didn’t close properly, and since the air conditioning units were placed directly in front of the windows, the noise in the room was comparable to a tractor running. The internet in both the rooms and the reception area didn’t work at all, so I can confidently say there was no Wi-Fi at the hotel. While there were different options at breakfast, the quality was very low. During my 4-day stay, I only managed to eat oatmeal and fruit twice. The gym was outdated and barely functional. The pool was filthy, and there was no proper water circulation. Due to the Wi-Fi issues, I stayed in two different rooms, and in both, the hot water took a very long time to start running. If you are looking for even a minimal level of quality, I strongly advise against staying at this hotel. The ratings definitely don’t reflect the reality. The only positive aspect was the friendly and helpful staff, although they were aware that there wasn’t much they could do. Overall, this hotel is absolutely not worth the price charged.

Full breakfast with so many delicious things to choose from, some typical Panamanian food and some American choices. All of them deliciously prepared.

Horrible check in, I was denied the sparkling bottle of wine that my booking had confirmed. Even when i showed my booking the reception denied it. I complained to Hotels.com, they tried to talk with the receptionist but was denied again. The room we got was 14 degrees when we got it, i had booked a junior Suite, they offered a smaller room after one night with only 17 degrees in the room. Not acceptable. After another complaint they offered a « upgrade « but we didn’t get two twinbeds as booked. This room was also cold, only 17 degrees. We had doors open just to heat up the room, but because of the humidity everything became wet and uncomfortable. The breakfast is okay, but the luve music is way to loud for anyone to talk under breakfast. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel, the location is good, but that’s it.

Location, location, location! Simply the best location for that area being that you can walk to Cinta Costera and Ave de Balboa. Literally just steps down from the hotel make a left, walk a few steps and you are at Cinta Costera to enjoy the beautiful walkway and jogging or running path. I even walked down to the fish market way down at the other end. I could’ve rented a bike and rode all the way to the Amador Causeway. On Sundays, they close off the avenue de Balboa from 6 am to 12 noon and make it a bike path only. You can rent a bike for five US and one dollar for the helmet for all those hours. And ride along all the way up the Amador Causeway and back. The hotel food is very affordable and tasty. You do have to wait sometimes for the food because they’re making it fresh but if you are patient, you will get what you want. Our sever for most of the night was Neftali. Very nice young man. We also met Tomas who is the photo person. He greeted us so nicely and gave us good tips on what to do.

Having never been to Panama City before, I was super happy with this location. It is on the water, and at the start of a waterfront park with a path that leads to all the cultural attractions of Panama City, including the hisyoric Old Town (Casco Antigua) and the Amador Causeway. There is even a bike rental conpany in the hotel parking lot, so you can hop right on the path whenever you feel like it. The bike rental company also has a second location on the Amador Causeway (near the Biomuseo), and you can return at that location as well. The hotel itself sits on a spacious plot, with the pool and a separate terrace overlooking the bay, with additional outdoor options overlooking the water. The gym overlooks the pool. Our room came with free breakfast. Although we couldnt eat anything, the spread was very generous. The staff was very helpful amd accommodating (amd we were able to borrow an umbrella at the front desk, a classy touch which is quite helpful in the tropics)! The rooms are fully renovated and modern (we loved the electronic curtains!) and the bathrooms were very comfortable (great water pressure). All the amenities are on the lobby level, which has not been renovated unfortunately. The neighborhood has ample restaurants and shopping within walking distance. I was originally planning on staying at the Waldorf Astoria, but was happy that I made the switch!
