Guest Reviews

• profesorab (8/5): Popular and A Nice Spot to Stay - We booked the first 2 nights of our trip here and wanted to extend but they were full. The lobby is crazy busy and they seem to get a lot of big tour groups. The lobby was piled high with luggage just stacked around. We arrived off a 6 am flight from Chicago and they let us leave our luggage also so we could explore the city right away. We picked the hotel for the reasonable price and the location close to the metro station. Our room was good and the air conditioning was good too. The pool was nice. Breakfast buffet was plentiful, constantly restocked and included with our booking. We have no complaints.
• Fernando (8/5): - Excellent
• Gianetta (6/5): - The hotel was nice.Breakfast item were a little bit limited.The staff was very friendly
• Cherrylyn (10/5): - An amazing hotel, I will do a repeat in the near future 10/10
• Rogelio (8/5): - Room appearance was very neat and clean, like always, with staff very friendly and accommodating and lots of things to do close by with just one slight draw back with the water in the bathtub going down very, very slow after after taking a shower and had to kill a small roach running around the coffee percolator area.
• Luis (10/5): - Hotel is awesome, clean and rooms are wonderful!
• PRINCESS (6/5): - Had to chamge room dorty sheets and towel Breakfast not a lot of variables. Staff were nice.
• Paul (6/5): - It was less than what I expected.
• Talia (8/5): - Friendly staff who was willing to assist
• Daysi (10/5): - Shampoo not good
• Edward (10/5): - Generally this hotel is well taken care of inside and out, but the small area for cars on arrival / departure is a problem, even at off peak times. The facilities are very good including the pool area. The breakfast was disappointing on this occasion , unlike previous times we had stayed .The hot items were replenished late and nobody seemed to notice when certain items, for example the scrambled eggs, were close to actually actually running out. A seemingly small thing on its own, I understand. However, as an example, it’s not what the hotel needs to have happen for its own reputation.
• Wendy-Ann (10/5): - Property was recommended to me excellent stay. Friendly staff. Not all spoke English so i practiced snd learnt some Spanish. Hotel arranged a pick up from the airport . Clean. Great breakfast. Good dinner options
• Richardson (10/5): - The place was really nice and the staff was friendly
• Jackeline (6/5): - The bathtub plumbing was clogged, and the furniture in the room was broken. At the front desk, they never gave me my VIP benefits.
• Adetokunbo (10/5): - It’s a perfect spot. My 3rd stay!
• Scott (10/5): - For an included breakfast it was great. They had eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, potatoes, French toast, salad, yogurt, oatmeal, and about 6 types of bread. Check out was noon instead of 11 for us late folks. They watch your luggage after checkout so you can explore the city. Walkabity to nearby shops isn’t that great in this area, but still doable. There’s food within 5 min walk. I walked 45 min to a nearby mall. Mostly it’s cuz traffic is terrible in the area from 4:30-8:00pm. Hard to cross the street. That said i would stay here again.
• Jack (10/5): - Staff was great! I really enjoyed my stay this time. They have stepped up their game. Breakfast was good
• Terrence (10/5): - The hotel was great. The neighborhood around not so much.
• Maria (8/5): Reliable option in Panama City - Pros: clean, comfortable bed and pillows, good breakfast, central location Cons: hate it does not have a hair dyer in room. Unable to sleep due to the alarm of a bank next door that went off 9 hours later! Absolutely crazy!
• Humberto Nuila (10/5): - Good place to stay!
• cressiet2016 (8/5): Nice small boutique hotel. - Small boutique hotel. Nice lobby, restaurant and bar. Rooms are small but adequate. Front desk friendly and accommodating. Located in banking section of Panama City. Prices are reasonable. Breakfast is sufficient (eggs, breads, cheese, coffee, etc.). I would stay here again.
• Jamil (8/5): - Staff are polite, clean property and breakfast was decent. Excellent location
• Diana (10/5): - It was okay
• Vimal (10/5): - N/A
• romeldar275 (6/5): Mix experience - 🇯🇲🇯🇲I stayed at the hotel from August 20 to August 27, 2025. The hotel's location is highly favorable, situated in proximity to the Metro station and various businesses and dining establishments. The hotel itself is well-maintained and clean. The accommodations are notably clean, comfortable, and pleasant. During one breakfast visit, I encountered a situation in which only one table was available. However, I was informed that I could not occupy that table as it was reserved for other guests who were set to dine and pay for their meals. As a result, I was required to wait for additional seating to become available. Furthermore, I found the food options to be rather limited. Each morning presented a similar selection, primarily consisting of eggs and Frank's pancakes, accompanied by only pineapple and papaya as the sole fruit options. I believe the hotel could enhance its breakfast variety, considering that its clientele is not exclusively comprised of Panamanian nationals.
• Lester (6/5): - The price was good. The parking was really tight. Rooms were small but clean and well designed. The breakfast was one of the best we have had anywhere
• Andres (10/5): - -
• Maya (8/5): - Lovely hotel great dining experience Save area helpful staff
• Keith (10/5): - Checked into this property literally last minute after leaving my original check in at the Riu Plaza due to construction on the property that was not disclosed. The Execute Hotel was perfect, from the steam room, working pool that I was happy to enjoy, and the friendly staff on property. Room service was daily and appreciated. Will stay again.
• Nury (10/5): - The cleanness and staff is excellent. I have stayed here before. I like the location. I do not like that there is not a hair dryer or an iron this time.
• June (10/5): - The Hotel is very clean, i like that the staff are very warm and friendly, i would recommend persons to stay at the executive Hotel when visiting Panama.
• Chad (10/5): - Everything was great
• Kelly (10/5): Best value in Panama City - Best value in Panama City. Hands down! Will keep coming back. Service, cleanliness, room quality, location, gym, pool, room service.
• Valery (8/5): - Nice location
• Avery (10/5): - Love it
• Yaisa (10/5): - This is our go to hotel every single time we visit Panama and I can’t imagine staying anywhere else. It’s super clean with excellent amenities.
• Paul (10/5): - Front desk staff was excellent both times we styed there in 3wks. Ruben the driver did Airport transfer for us very early in the a.m. and once for an out of town trip acting as a knowledgeable guide. Will stay again for sure.
• Vanessa (10/5): - We had a very pleasant stay. Would recommend this property.
• Cristhian Solís (10/5): - Good location
• JORGE LUIS (10/5): - Wonderful place to stay
• Aziz (10/5): - Good value for your money
• jordan (8/5): - Carpets were old two years ago they are still the same time for an upgrade. Otherwise place is great!
• Mustapha (8/5): - Not many food options to choose from. Beds were relatively small, wifi was excellent and taxis were readily available
• rosa (6/5): - Staff is friendly and accommodating. Property itself is dated and carpet inside room is filthy. Anyone can walk in and access floors since elevator doesn’t use card and there’s nobody checking who’s staying at hotel. Hotel seems to be counting lacking towels we would go for breakfast, come back and towels would be missing but nobody had done room.. really odd
• Paul (8/5): - I noticed that the shower doesn't drain well, often there is asmall pool forming.
• Robert (10/5): - Great stay. Staff is wonderful and the location is great. Can easily walk to many restaurants and the Costa Cintera .
• Betty (8/5): - Great staff and restaurant. Hotel was noisy due to consistent road traffic.
• Jose (8/5): - The staff were nice and attentive. The comp/ breakfast was basic but still a plus and greatly appreciated. Overall a nice place to stay. Would surely recommend!!
• Krystle (4/5): - The rooms were comfortable and the hotel is located in a very convenient area close to restaurants and shops. However, the service received at this hotel was very poor. We booked 3 rooms under our reservation. Some rooms received bottled water daily as we were entitled to, some did not. We had to wait 3 days to receive a wash cloth and never received requested toilet paper. We certainly won't be staying at this hotel in the future.
• Leyla (10/5): - Amazing hotel. Super clean and very good location.
• William (8/5): - Staff great, gym great, hotel convenient and pleasant.

• Robert (10/5): - Our stay was excellent. This was our fourth time staying at the Executive and we could not have been more satisfied. The employees are so friendly and helpful along with a great location in the city .
• Sean (10/5): - Great value for the quality
• malintha chathuraka (10/5): - I absolutely love this place. I’ve been visiting Panama for 7 years, and this is the only hotel I’ll stay at during my trips. Beautiful, comfortable, and consistently excellent — it always feels like home.
• Rosa (10/5): - Sauna y gym un poco sucios , el resto ok.
• Carlos (10/5): - Nice and clean
• Charles (8/5): - Pretty sure the Shuttle Driver scammed us. We were quoted $30 by Hotel Front Desk for the van to take us to the airport. Once we got there, driver wanted $50 because we have "more than 2 people. so It's more." This is an unfortunate end to an otherwise great stay that started with Front Desk getting us checked in 3 hours early; clean and spacious room. Elevator is small, but we have 5 people that had no trouble fitting inside. Free breakfast is, free, but definitely well prepared and delicious. Location is good with several great restaurants and shops within walking distance.
• scott (10/5): - Hotel was is a good part of town for our trip. Easy walk to multiple restaurants. Good value for the price. Enjoyed the pool and the fitness center as well.
• AUDRA (8/5): - I liked the views from the balcony. The breakfast was definitely unique, unlike what i usually get in hotels (not the typical bacon, pancakes and eggs). The toiletries they gave us (soap etc) were sorely lacking in quality and quantity. However. The doorman and generally the other staff were a delight. Room service was also great quality. I also liked that they kept our luggage as our flight was much earlier than check in time.
• Oldemar (10/5): - I like the full size gym. The breakfast was amazing. Parking is very tight but overall a great hotel.
• Discover281787 (10/5): Panatika - First the Hotel location is unbelievable, you are always one block or 2 from any major area. About 2 blocks and you will be in La Cinta Costera. The metro station is only couple of minutes away. The rooms are very clean and spacius with balconies. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant is amazing. I had lunch and dinner there few times. The prices are reasonable. In the area there are plenty places to eat and many casinos if want to play and have some fun.
• Sheryl (10/5): - The property is convient, well designed and a great location. The sheets are amazing, room witth excellent features. I will be back.
• Lian (10/5): - Very clean and helpful. Breakfast was included so that was a great additional benefit. Location was also a plus being so close to everything.
• Wesley (10/5): - Great staying
• Aaliyah (10/5): - It was my first time in Panama and I would say choosing this hotel was a great choice
• Francisco (4/5): - As VIP I didn't get recognized, didn't get any upgraded and also the air conditioner wasn't working properly
• Sol (10/5): - The front desk staff is very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast selection is top of the top. The amenities are what I seek when traveling.
• Samantha (8/5): - Good location, breakfast was fine, amenities clean and adequate.
• Raymond (10/5): - Great value and love the breakfast.
• Steven (10/5): - We have stayed at this hotel for many years and are always, always well taken care of! Great people, great food, great hospitality and a great location!
• Judith (8/5): - Some people not be with empathy when you request some help
• Julio A. (10/5): - Friendly staff , breakfast was included
• EDDIE (10/5): - Súper GREAT ALL AROUND
• Jet25347235087 (10/5): Great Value - Great value and great location. Free parking and friendly staff. Will come back again. Breakfast is a little basic, but you can upgrade and pay a little more for something else. Very clean rooms and overall a great place to stay, if you don’t need a flashy expensive hotel.
• Debra (10/5): - The property is in a great location to be able to walk surrounding areas. The staff was great in assisting and the room was very clean and quiet. Great place to stay
• Estephan (8/5): - Proper
• Trent (10/5): - Love Mr. Carlos and his staff
• Danielle (10/5): - My room was comfortable and clean, with a small balcony. The breakfast buffet had a rotating selection of menu items with pastries, fruit, and breakfast cereal available. The staff really made my visit, friendly and helpful even with a language barrier, there was always someone at the front desk that spoke English if needed, but no one hesitated from making sure I was taken care of promptly. The location was easy to navigate once I learned my way. I felt safe walking back in the early evenings and venturing out on foot in the morning, and if I took an uber, everything within the city was within the 3-4 dollar range. Would recommend for a great location to day trip from, not the hotel if you plan to stay on location all day. Loved it and would book again.
• Kerron (10/5): - It was just great. Will definitely be staying there anytime I return to Panama.
• Sophia (4/5): - The hotel was clean, but hotel staff was not responsive and did not want to accommodate basic necessities. Was fixing the alarm system for a whole day during my stay and no credit nor discount for the disturbance.
• 82ilseg (4/5): Disappointing - We stayed at the Executive hotel from March 28 through April 5, 2025. The food and service in the restaurant was good. The front-desk staff were helpful. However, was disappointed with our room. The carpet was dirty, bathroom shower wall had mold on it. Our phone was never connected, even though we notified the front desk.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Reviewing the Executive Hotel, Panama - Check in was effeicient and pleasant. For the most part housekeeping was good---but one dau, I felt like the sheets (though chnged?) were not satisfactorily cleaned. The bathroom amenities were not really good. The breakfast was of. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The exercise room was equipeed well.
• Trent (10/5): - My wife and I have stayed here for 7 years in a row and we love it. The staff has become family to us.
• Bethany (10/5): - Customer service is always top notch, very helpful staff
• Nick (6/5): - Dining place is too crowded all the time.
• Shari (8/5): - Rom service was great breakfast was greqt
• Joe (10/5): - Perhaps not a five star location but certainly better than acceptable. Clean comfortable quiet rooms with a very good breakfast included. Walking distance to the metro; I only wish I had had more time to explore the city using the metro. Very inexpensive, safe and reliable transportation it was. altogether, my stay here was very enjoyable.
• Marisha Alicia (10/5): - It was our first time in Panamá, when we got to the hotel. We were greeted warmly and the staff were bilingual which helped so much with translation. They were helpful and friendly. It was a great experience staying there. I definitely recommend staying here.
• Diego (10/5): - Una excelente opción. Un hotel bien cuidado, con buen servicio, amenities e incluye parking. Si bien el desayuno está muy bien, creo que podría mejorar
• Devon (10/5): - Great Hotel.
