This is a basic 3 star hotel but the value for your money is a pretty good deal in expensive Panama City. My husband and I had been staying in single rooms in Hostels which run anywhere from 25-50 bucks but then we found this place. The airport shuttle is what really makes it worth it. A cab ride to...

We stayed 3 nights at this basic 3star hotel. The room was small but adequate, though not well lit; the bed was clean and comfortable, the phone and TV worked, as did the air conditioning (in many of the rooms the air conditioning unit is not right in line with the bed but off in the jog created by the...

The hotel was in a bit of an off location, the room itself was basic but nice enough. AC kinda worked, WIFI kinda worked, shower worked just fine. The pool on the rooftop is a nice perk! I did feel screwed by their 'free airport transfer': on my way from the airport I had to wait over half an hour... More

This is your basic budget hotel. It seems like the facility was built in the fifties or sixties and despite some attempts at renovation it is definitely dated. The bed is comfortable and the plumbing works. There is LCD or Plasma TV in the room but the Internet (WiFi) is very erratic. Two noisy wall A/C units cool the room.... More

We stayed at the Costa Inn twice, once for four days and then once more before returning to the U.S. The room we had was on the third floor overlooking Panama City; the room itself was basic but quite comfortable. Additionally, the complimentary breakfast was excellent! And the hotel staff members were very friendly, allowing us to have an early... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in Dec. It was clean, but that is where the positives stop. Our blinds on both windows did not go down, no door on the shower, only one hand towel for 2 people, hair dryer did not work, no light plate on the bathroom light switch, only 2 pieces of soap...

I stayed here because of the free trip to the airport but it is one of the worst places I have ever stayed and I have done a lot of travelling. There were no globes in the bedlights so they came and put some in but then the switch wouldnt turn them off so they expected me to remove hot... More

I have stayed here many times and although the hotel has merit if you go for the biggest rooms,the reception staff are very unfriendly and the service is very poor,even the owner is rude. The swimming pool on the roof would be great if they cleaned it. More

Wow what a dump. I decided to stay here for a one night transit through Panama City based on the description from Moon guide which explained rooms have been recently renovated and it's a popular spot for Latin American business travelers. This may be the biggest dump I've stayed in and I travel a lot for a living. I've found... More
