Great location

Room was large, beds comfortable, great a/c. This is a basic hotel (no hairdryer, no cups, no elevator, etc) but the location can’t be beat.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The power went out in the building for hours. The toilet wouldn’t flush, the a/c wouldn’t work and there was no light. I chose to stay at another hotel and they refused to refund me the night stay despite the condition of the property. Expedia was of no help and made promise to help but never came through.

Perfect spot in the heard of Panama City

Magnolia Inn was the perfect place for us to stay while in Panama City. Centrally located in the heart of Casco Viejo, it is near great restaurants, tours, etc. The hot shower was glorious, especially after coming back from San Blas Islands still sticky from sunblock and sand. We loved having the common areas, especially the kitchen, to keep our leftovers and save some money on meals. I would definitely go back there next time I’m in Panama!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The first room we were in on first floor we could not sleep as the neighbors were playing loud music in the street. The front desk stated this occurs all the time and all they can do is call the police. They did this many times over 3 days. We liked the first floor room as the bathroom was in the room too. But could not stand the noise. When we came back at end of week we were on 3rd floor. There is no elevator so let’s just say our legs got a workout. Javier was amazing and brought our biggest luggage up for us. The bedroom was nice but the bathroom was accross the hall. Tiny hot bathroom as no air conditioning in it and the shower was strange with a wood slat floor. The maids came up there to get stored linens and were noisy. One maid walked into our room even though a do not disturb sign was on door. I slipped on the floors in kitchen as it was just mopped but no sign put up to let me know. I will say the staff there were incredible. They make up for any shortcomings for sure.

We really enjoyed staying in the heart of the old town in such clean and modern feeling to our room, newly renovated accommodations with very clean bedding and pillows, working modern AC , variety of restaurants walking distance, as well as so much to do and see in terms of museums close by walking distance! The staff were great, respectful and kind yet professional and helpful! We definitely recommend this hotel 🏨
