The Executive Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are vey nice persons. All the hotel and room were clean. Excellent location of the hotel, waking distance from restaurants, supermarkets, and metro stations."

Central Hotel Panama Casco Viejo

8/10 Good

"The hotel is as the name indicated, in the center of old town. The location is fantastic. Very convenient. However, as some of the reviews had mentioned, they have live music in the lobby all day until 11pm. I was aware of this and requested that they give us a quiet room. However, we were given a room with windows facing the atrium and were subjected to the music all day. It was not too loud but was quite annoying if you want quietness. Add to this, it was on the 4th floor and next to one of the restaurant/bar and there were noises coming from it until late. The room was 426 so to other travelers, avoid this room. The bathroom shower was poorly designed and the floor was flooded after every shower. We had to use tons to towels to mop up the water. Not sure why we were given such a lousy room even though the hotel didn’t seem fully booked. The only reason I didn’t request for another room because my husband has unpacked all his stuffs and didn’t want to move. Are Expedia customers treated worse or something? The positives: the room was reasonably spacious. Beddings were comfortable. Roof top pool was nice although it is rather of small and it could use some fixing up. The staff was courteous and breakfast was decent. Had it not for the noisy room, it would have been a nice stay. For this reason, I don’t think we’ll stay here again in the future since noisy room is a deal breaker for me."

8/10 Good

"My wife and I stayed here for five days in late June 2026, and overall we had a great experience. The building and apartment are modern, clean, and spacious. The location is excellent, with grocery stores, restaurants, shops, and the mall all nearby. The lobby smells so good you'll probably wish your house smelled the same way. Check-in was quick and easy, and everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. The apartment had two full bathrooms, which was a nice bonus for just the two of us. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was incredibly convenient. The rooftop pool was fantastic, the views were beautiful, and the building felt very secure with multiple locks on the doors. It's also only about a 10-minute drive from the airport. The biggest thing to know is that this isn't a traditional hotel. It's an apartment building, so you're more self-sufficient. If you need extra towels or toilet paper, it's not as simple as calling the front desk. We also would have appreciated better instructions about things like where to take the trash. After five days, the floors got dirty, but there wasn't a broom or stick vacuum for a quick cleanup. The shower water never got more than lukewarm. The kitchen had dishes, pots, and pans, but no food storage containers, so we made a quick trip to buy Ziplock bags for leftovers. Would we stay again? Absolutely. The price, location, and overall value were excellent. Now that we know what to expect, we'd definitely book it again."
