Toscana Inn

After reading many, many reviews of various hotels listed on Expedia, there were quite a few that pointed out the helpful staff at Toscana (apparently more helpful than at other hotels)...and I agree. The front desk staff bent over backwards to help with a room upgrade, taxis, tours, airline check-in, and a multitude of questions. I can’t thank them enough for putting up with me! We appreciated the breakfast each morning, the all-day coffee, and the staff was always willing to refill our water bottles. Also read in the same reviews, were comments about the overall quality of the hotel. I had never been to Panama, so I have no other local hotels to compare to this one. But, based on other hotels in other parts of the world, I was a little disappointed in the hotel room itself. The bathroom was small and in need of supplies as well as fixture upgrades. The tile floors were routinely dirty, so the bedding became dirty easily. As for location, we found Toscana to be in an area of town where we felt safe walking several blocks away to the Main Street where many shops, fast food restaurants, and grocery stores could be found. There are fun little Mom and Pop restaurants on the same street as the hotel as well as on surrounding streets.

Front lobby service : poor: they did not seem to care . Room : very good ; Breakfast: basic but good. Location: very good

Very nice accommodations. good location. very nice staff

Friendly and helpful staff. The location is also perfect as it is close to many places including the metro.

I have been in similar price range with more satisfaction. Little bit dated. The room was hot when I got there. When I asked in the front desk I got an explanation not an apology. The breakfast was okay, but basic; the attention there was okay, but nothing special.The front desk were helpful when looking for local area information. At the end the card that turns on the AC and lights didn't function; I had to finish my packing in the darkness. I just hope that the hotel from my previous visit won't be booked when I visit Panama City again.

I stayed at the Toscana twice (one night before and after a scuba diving cruise to Malpelo Island). In addition to the acoustically transparent walls, the lack of attention to the little things really detract from this hotel. On the first stay, I was kept awake most of night by the snoring of the guest in the room next to mine. On the second stay, I could hear normal conversation and the TV in the adjacent room, which was not only annoying but at all hours. Instead of salt shakers in the restaurant, the Toscana has the paper envelopes like those at fast food places. There's only lukewarm water available starting in the late evening (around 9 pm) and lasting until early morning (guessing 5 am). The shower stall for my second stay leaked and after a shower, the bathroom floor would be partially flooded. While there is some charm to staying at what seems to a family owned hotel, the only staff who speak English are the desk clerks. Communicating with the restaurant staff is impossible unless you know some rudimentary Spanish. There are so many potentially better options in the same vicinity as the Toscana that I would look elsewhere. I would not stay at the Toscana again.

We enjoyed the breakfast and location. There are good restaurants in the area and the staff was truly excellent Would recommend this hotel above any of the others in this area. I was traveling with a group of friends who were first time visitors so Luis the hotel driver took us on great tours of the area

Everything went excellent, good location, parkin lot, food, etc.

Good value for the price! Comfortable bed and allowed early check in.
