Great hotel in El Cangrejo

Great hotel in an optimal location. él Cangrejo is the place to be when in Panama City. Next to restaurants, coffee shops and a few taprooms as well. Great rooftop pool and gym with fantastic views of the city skyline. Breakfast is okay but okay it was included in the price so not a big deal. I would definitely come back to Beat Western Zen.
Angel, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Breakfast could improve with better quality of food. The beds are okay, but worn out and the sheet quality is low to be worn out.
