Top Barrio Chino Hotel Reviews

Hotel Faranda Express Soloy and Casino, a member of Radisson Individuals

8/10 Good

"I had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Faranda Express Soloy and Casino. The breakfast was excellent, with a good variety of options being that each morning different items were served. It's definitely one of the highlights of my stay. The staff were also wonderful — friendly, welcoming, and always willing to assist. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would consider staying again. However, there is room for improvement when it comes to the laundry and cleaning services. More attention to detail and consistency in these areas would make the stay even better. Thank you to the staff for their hospitality and great service!"

Riande Aeropuerto Hotel & Casino

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, very close to the airport. Very comfortable. I'd gladly stay again. The hinge on the shower door was loose, therefore preventing the shower door from staying closed I didn't know how to say that in Spanish but if I tried asking then for help I'm certain that they would have fixed it for me."

Decapolis Hotel Panama City

8/10 Good

"My son and I stayed one night at the Decapolis Hotel, and while the property itself is impressive, the overall experience was mixed. The hotel is immaculately clean, centrally located, and offers great views of the city. We enjoyed the modern amenities, including the large pool, glass elevator, and the convenient skywalk that connects directly to a shopping center. Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the facilities. Staff members were curt and unhelpful, and when we asked questions, we were often shrugged off or redirected without explanation. Other guests were assisted while we were ignored, which left a negative impression. The hotel’s open‑lobby design also created a major issue: an event took place late into the night, and the noise carried all the way up to the rooms. We weren’t able to sleep until it ended past midnight. Check‑in was another challenge. Tour groups arrived at the same time, and although two staff members were present, only one was willing to check us in. The other employee was checking in random guests but refused to assist us, pointing us toward the long tour‑group line instead. Checkout, however, was quick and easy. Overall, the hotel has excellent facilities and a great location, but the service and noise issues significantly impacted our stay."
