Top Panama City Hotel Reviews

The Executive Hotel

The Executive Hotel

8/10 Good
"Dans l'ensemble, le rapport qualité-prix est bon. La chambre est petite mais confortable, le lit king est excellent. Avec le petit balcon, on peut regarder ce qui se passe aux alentours. Je donne une note de 5 sur 5 au personnel, souriant et aimable. Une seule chose est inacceptable, c'est le papier de toilette de très mauvaise qualité, mince, rugueux, couleur papier recyclé, dans tous mes voyages je n'ai jamais vu ça."
