Never again

I'm not demanding when it comes to a hotel at this rate, but this one just doesn't even cut it. The room I got was moldy, stinky, and very run down. The restroom smelled foul since the drain was right there. The ceiling in the room had wet stains all over; the phone didn't work (not that I needed it, but still); wires were run on the wall as if a beginner electrician had done the job; the staff was very rude (and yes, I'm fluent in Spanish so I could easily communicate with them); even though my booking included (and I paid for) breakfast, I was denied it the first few days since the restaurant and hotel people (same owner) hadn't worked out how to deal with charge back or something weird. One person told me the hotel and the restaurant staff didn't get along while another person simply told me "sorry, we don't include breakfast anymore." On the 3rd day, I went to the restaurant and was actually given breakfast without a problem. It was someone else at that time. It just seemed like people only bickered with each other and didn't communicate with one another or cared about their customers' needs. I demanded to talk to the owner but every time I was told he'd be there, he never showed up and had an excuse. I stayed in Panama for a week, but fortunately, I didn't book the hotel for the entire week - lucky me!

Very Bad

I am in Panama for 4 days for school. This hotel is very bad the staff is very good. The bath room my toilet seat cover is on the ground. The shower is not clean; I am going to tell you that I won’t back my money. No, what I need is this sends someone to check the hotels before you book them because what happen to me is not go.

Never again

I was looking for something super-simple. A bed where I could crash onto after a day enjoying the city. The price of Covadonga attracted me. My first impression when I got there was scary: the police car was blocking the street, transvestites were screaming and a couple of ''soldiers'' (dressed like that) were hanging rifles. I thought to myself ''today is not my lucky day''. When I got to the hotel reception I was sure of that! the lady was nice with me, saying that she did not recommend me to go out after 6PM. I was starving... she escorted me two buildings away, in order to let me into the Cassino (through the emergency exit) to go to the restaurants area. I was a nightmare. everyday it was the same. They have pigeons living under each hotel room... and they can be very noisy at early mornings. I slept dressed the way I was. The sheets were disgusting.

Definitely Not Impressed

The hotel did not feel safe. Most of the advertised features do not exist. There is no private beach, no in-room safe etc. The location is rundown and seedy. The shower was a hosepipe sticking out of the wall, with only cold water. The window looked out at the next room from behind bars. Only the breakfast was reasonable.

EL PEOR HOTEL QUE HE CONOCIDO

La atencion es pesima, los dueños de este Hotel son unos muertos de hambre y peceteros. Cobran la jarra de agua (AGUA DE CHORROO) QUE PONEN EN LAS HABITACIONES, EL HIELO Y LAS TAZAS DE AGUA CALIENTE (TODO DE AGUA DE CHORRO O TUBERIA). mE QUEDE POR 11 DIAS EN ESE HOTEL CON EL DESAYUNO INCLUIDO Y EL ÚLTIMO DÍA ME DIJERON QUE YO NO TENIA DESAYUNO PAGO DE ESE DÍA PORQUE YA HABIA CONSUMIDO TODAS LAS COMIDAS (porcierto super malas). Resulta que contaban los días enteros y no como dice su anuncio de que la entrada es a partir de las 10am y las salidas a partir de las 2pm. Se sabe que si alguien entra a las 11 am de un día X le corresponde el desayuno del día siguientes antes de que se le cumpla el día pagado, pues ellos, insistian en lo contrario. Tuve que amenazarlos que los denunciaria en ACODECO, y fue asi que "entraron milagrosamente en razon". Pero ni siquiera tuvieron la delicadesa de pedir disculpas personalmente por el mal rato ocasionado.

8/10 Very good

For staying in Panama City, this was a cozy place compared to staying in a hostel. You get a nice bathroom with a shower and sink. A TV with many channels and a clean bed to sleep in. The ladies were very nice who work there. My only complaint wod be the neighborhood scene, kind of sketchy with a lot of "women looking for entertainment " but other than that we felt safe. There is a great 24 hour restaurant two blocks away that had great food and great service, I highly recommend it.

Beware

The hotel is in two parts, one is "by the hour". The neighborhood after dark is crawling with prostitutes. The staff speak only Spanish, with one exception. As a result three days in a row without a towel. One day they even removed the clean extra towel from the room. Air conditioning kept breaking down, and getting it fixed with limited Spanish was hard. No laundry facilities. Restaurant is fine if simple.

experiencia en el hotel covadonga

el hotel no deberia de aparecer en hoteles .com dentro de los hoteles a preferir,es un vulgar hotel,lo escogi a traves de internet por lo que ofrecia lo cual es totalmente falso,algo nunca visto en mi vida ya que soy viajador frecuente y me la paso de hotel en hotel es que no exista una jarra de agua en la habitacion,la cual la solicite en la recepcion por dos dias consecutivos donde me enviaron al restauran a solicitarla y me dijeron que el hotel no contaba con jarras para agua,me dieron una bolsa con hielo la cual tuve que pagar en sesenta centavos de dolar con dos vasos desechables ,y al pedirles el agua para los vasos ,me dijeron que la tomara en la habitacion del chorro del lavamano,algo insolito,no nos atrevimos a salir delhotel por recomendacion de los taxistas ya que la zona es peligrosa,el hotel es algo asi como de citas de parejas,en conclusion no se lo recomiendo a nadie,tomenlo en cuenta ya que se van a arrepentir,en plena avenida hay mejores hoteles y aun mas economico que este

Estafada/Engañada

Sinceramente no recomiendo este hotel para nada ya que las habitaciones eran totalmente deprimente, algo angostas, con insepticidas sobre las camas y cucarachas muertas encima de las mismas, con filtraciones y mal olor a humedad, el desayuno algo insuficiente y poca variedad del mismo. Me siento totalmente estafada porq no fue ni la sombra lo de que me vendieron por internet.

Para mi fue una mala experiencia, El hotel sucio con mal olor, El aire acondicionado no funcionaba correctamente, el control de la TV tampoco (a pesar de que no lo cambiaron), Al llegar me dieron una habitacion ocupada, de acuerdo al taxista esta el hotel situado en una zona peligrosa para caminar de noche, etc. Cabe decir que el desayuno fue muy bueno y el restaurant aceptable. la gente que atiende amable.

OK for the low paid

Hotels are expensive in Panama City. Receptionist was good and check-in quite quick. Breakfast is nice though not a buffet. The restaurent appears to be popular with lot of locals. The air-conditioner worked well but it was quite noisy one. The room did not have a chair/stool but it was clean and so also the toilet with hot water. TV was fine. It costed me $25 for a taxi arranged by the hotel to the airport. But there are also cheaper public buses to the airport. Locally taxis are cheap in this city. Helpful front desk staff - one spoke fluent English at the night time when I checked in(quite helpful person indeed!) and the other person the next day did not know any English but we managed to communicate and I had a taxi quickly. The hotel is in city centre.

Small rooms, bad neighborhood and unkind

This is, I think, the worst hotel I have ever stayed. Among the things they offer and does not exist: no private beach (impossible they’re in the middle of the city); therefore no ocean o water view; no buffet, although there is a complimentary “a la carte” menu. In addition the people in the front desk were unhelpful and not kind of all, with exception of the owners who arrived only at nights. The rooms are really small and the beds unconformable and small for two persons. The air conditioning in our room worked okay. The room wasn’t cleaned for the second day. The neighborhood looked unsafe, and was unsafe, so we were told, though is centric and fair close to the malls and other attractions. Too much thins to put up with for a low rate!!

Inexpensive but value for the money

This a family owned establishment and for the money we spent we got full value for it. The owner was extremely cooperative when we asked for other rooms to be shown. One person who made the difference is Mary Damaris Rodriguez, in the restaurant, who found solutions to all our local problems.. We did have a pleasant stay of 4 days. I would recommend this hotel

This is not a hotel for lounging around and relaxing. The room are very sparse with tile floors, but a decent air conditioner.
