We stayed for one night as a family of five. Unfortunately, the room had a very strong smell of fresh paint, which the gentleman at reception did mention. However, with no windows or proper ventilation, the fumes were overwhelming and negatively affected our stay. On a positive note, the bed was comfortable. I hope the hotel ensures newly painted rooms are properly ventilated before assigning them to guests.

The staff was very kind. The room was nice and clean. Roomy bathroom. The facility does not have a pool. They have a restaurant and rooftop bar in the adjacent building across the street. The food was very good and the rooftop bar was really nice. It has a beautiful view of the city. The rooftop however is not a high rise. It’s roughly 4 stories high but still a very nice view and a great bar. Staff was great. We opted to pay extra for the cooked to order breakfast and it was also very good and reasonable priced. This was our first time staying in old town and we really enjoyed it. You can easily walk to a wide range of restaurants and shopping.

  • A well-packed carry-on bag is a must-have for any medium-haul journey. With several hours up your sleeve, you'll probably long for something to keep you amused while in the air. We suggest a good book (or trashy magazine), and something to nibble on.
  • Aircraft cabins often get chilly. Even if you're traveling during the height of the Panama City summer, make sure you carry a sweater on board with you.

  • Flexibility isn't just useful for your yoga. Avoid locking in your travel dates so you can pick up cheaper airfares when a big sale drops.
  • Look for a budget carrier that has seats in business class. They usually come with extra legroom and a glass of Champagne — and a more affordable price.
  • Take advantage of your airline's loyalty scheme and use points to upgrade your seat. You can also bid for an upgrade in online auctions.
