Dirty hotel, terrible breakfast

Customer review rating 1.0/5

Jk Solo - 03/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

1. the reception staff was great - very forthcoming and nice to talk to - but that is probably the only positive thing about this hotel 2. the halls were dirty, a lot of rubbish on the carpet on several floors 3. the furniture was dirty - you wouldnt want to sit on the chair that was provided in my room, I have even picture of it, if you are interested 4. equipment is outdated - AC is too loud to let you sleep in some rooms, the furniture is chipped and repaired at many places, etc. 5. the breakfast for 12 USD was rubbish - the cheapest sliced cheese, the "juice" that must be the cheapest option in the supermarket and didnt ever see any oranges and a bit of some sausage, who knows what was quality of that one... if your chef just went opposite to your hotel and brought me one Arepa for 4 usd from FREN, he would get my praise, but this rubbish for a breakfast and charge 12 USD for that? Well, I would say the management just doesnt care or is completely incompetent. If I was at your place, I would change whoever is directing this hotel or just simply would close it, because this kind of experience makes you think that Novotel is some brand of 1* hotels, not a 4* as advertised...

Alberto V. Business - 29/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Novotel in Panama was one of the best places to stay, unfortunately, on my last visit to the country (I travel to Panama 3-4 times a year and I always stay with you - check your records) the hotel staff could not accommodate some of my needs especially make me a better price for an extended stay at the beginning of 10 additional days and then for 30 additional days. the answer given by the hotel manager was ... do it by "booking" ... he didn't even give me the feeling of making me feel or giving me the perception that he was helping me.

Excellent Hotel

Customer review rating 5.0/5

Gary Couples - 20/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed here twice during our 2-week trip to Panama. Each time we got upgraded to a suites room as part of the Expedia VIP Access program. The hotel is in a safe downtown location. Walking distance to metro, restaurants (e.g. El Trapiche) and grocery shopping. The rooms (suites) are spacious with good amenities. The free single serve coffee (Duran) was excellent. The WiFi was the fastest in all Panama hotels we stayed. The hotel staff are very friendly, especially Yarsel who helped us a lot during our second stay. We would definitely stay here again next time in Panama City.

The air conditioner in my room was broken, staff were aware of this yet did not offer a room change or fix the AC. By the time I realised it was early in the morning and too late to change. I had a very poor sleep. Apart from that facilities and staff were nice.

Everything was well it could’ve been better as far as interacting with your guest as far as Experience being in Panama I don’t know for sure but I’m assuming most your guest are Tauruses so it’ll be better if you had a better tourist section where we have the guys in the lobby more of a package deal.

Adventure52621200183 Couples - 10/01/2020 TripAdvisor review

Everything is OK. The staff are not rude, but they are also not that friendly either. However, I think this might be the dirtiest Accor hotel I've stayed in. The bathrooms were not cleaned and still has hairs from previous guests. The floors were not swept. I think the worst part is the stains and the mould on the sofas!

Dear Adventure52621200183, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. I am glad to learn that you had a good stay with us during your visit to Panama City. On another note, please accept our most sincere apologies for not meeting your expectations with the cleanliness of the room provided. Your feedback is highly appreciated, it will help us to continue growing and improving our services. We hope you could trust in us in the near future. I will be pleased to personally assist with the reservation and find the most suitable room according to your needs. Thank you for your time and consideration. Kind regards, Eric Franco A Guest Service Manager

Arneada R Friends getaway - 14/12/2019 TripAdvisor review

They don't have face cloths so bring your own. No fridge with ice - only a beverage cooler with drinks to purchase. No ice bucket either. Room was nice. I was charged an extra night. Noticed it on my credit card on line so had to call to get it corrected. Very convenient area for food and near metro station.

Dear Arneada R, Thank you for taking the time to get in touch and provide us with some feedback following your stay at Novotel Panama City. Your kind and complimentary comments are always most gratefully received and I am so pleased to learn that you found our location to be convenient, and your bedroom to be comfortable. I will be sending a copy of your review to my team, who I know will take the time to correct the details mentioned. Thank you for your review of Novotel Panama City and we look forward to hosting you again in a near future. Warm regards, Eric Franco A Guest Service Manager
