Iso huoneisto: erillinen makuuhuone, 2 WC. Upeat näkymät kaupungin yli. Erittäin siisti. Erinomainen hinta/laatu-suhde. Henkilökunnan kielitaito hieman heikko, osalla myös puutteita palvelualttiudessa. Olin hotelliin kirjautuessamme pudottanut vahingossa passien välissä olleet muutamat setelit. Kesti kolme päivää, ennen kuin saimme rahat takaisin. Pääasia tietysti oli, että ylipäätään saimme rahat. Suositeltava hotelli.
Really enjoyed our stay at esplendor. Would definitey recommend. We were told by other travelers in panama city that for the same price they got a small basic room. Ours was a 1 bedroom suite with kitchen --it was a condoloft- high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows.
l ubicacion es muy buena , cerca de buenos restaurants solo un problemita con uno de los taxitas que estan afuera , el sr muy desagradable al punto que nos nos queria hacer carrera en cambio los otros taxistas eran muy buenas personas y agradables y el resto del personal del hotel excelente!!

Good location!
The hotel room was very big - apartment style - with kicthen, work area, living room, bedroom, 2 bathrooms + washer & dryer. The lighting in the room was not enough and on top of that, among the available light sources, some of the blubs were burnt out and light switches did not work so it felt a bit dark. The breakfast, which was included was great. Good location. Most taxi drivers do not know of this hotel even though it is the tallest building in El Cangrejo/Bella Vista area and so it might not be easy getting to the hotel. Just say it is close to the Mariott Hotel + Casino and it is literally less than a 5 min walk from there.
I found the Esplendor a very comfortable place to stay. Spacious room with great view from the 27th floor. Helpfully and friendly staff.Great location within the city. Near supermarket, resturants, shopping mall, casino, varity of stores all within walking distance.
El hotel está muy bien, comodo, bien ubicado y las habitaciones son grandes con buenas comodidades y esta limpio. Lo unico a mencionar que por la calidad del hotel me parecía que iba a tener un mejor desayuno y la verdad no me gusto. Deben mejorar las cosas que se ofrecen para comer y la atención de los meseros debe mejorar. Quizas están contemplando que se self-service pero por la calidad del hotel el desayuno no va acorde. Ojala le puedan poner un poco más de atención al desayuno, átención más personalizada y mejores platos a ofrecer.
The hotel make money on the site as charging guest
They have to many hidden fees.Every person going to visit your room even for 20 minutes they charge you 50$ and they charge tax on it. They dont have a GYM and pool is so small you can"t swim
The hotel was very clean and the hotel staff very friendly and helpful they also speak English good. It in a safe walking area with plenty shop and restaurant in the area. I really enjoy my stay and i would and will choose and recommend this hotel again.
El hotel me pareció muy bien, limpieza, orden pero nunca logramos tener el servicio de internet y el desayuno no vario en los 4 dìas de estancia en el hotel.Por lo demás es seguro y es muy céntrico, volvería a hospedarme en el.

False advertising
A colleague and I booked a two-room suite, only to find upon arrival that there were no such rooms left. The extra bed they sent to the room was extremely small and uncomfortable, and no apology or discount was offered. While the hotel was nice, the service was terrible, and even though it's just a year old there was clearly maintenance needed.
I was somewhat leary about some of the reviews that past guest had made. There were some good reviews as well as some negative ones. Despite all, I decided to take a chance on the hotel. What a smart move. The rooms condos were very spacious and well done. I stayed on the 37th. floor (3701) & had a view that was breath taking. The hotel provided free wi-fi as well as a computer with a printer for those who didn't have a lap tap.
I took advantage of the spa service as well as the restaurant. Both were well worth the money. If you try dining @ the restaurant you must try the taste menu paired with the wines. It left me with a smile.
If I choose to stay in the city Esplendor Panama would be the place. The staff was very accommodating.

Great Room, Lousy Service
Overall, I loved my stay at Hotel Esplendor. For a reasonable price, we got a beautiful 1 bedroom suite with a stunning view of the city, modern amenities, a super luxury master bathroom, and even a second bathroom. But the hotel was missing a lot in terms of service.
First of all, the hot water in the shower was almost non-existent in the morning. Secondly, the service, while friendly, was inept. We asked for a wake up call on 3 different mornings and never got it. We also signed up for a tour of El Valle, which was a joke. Our "tour guide" barely spoke English and didn't even know how to get there! Finally, the phone system was messed up, making it impossible to place a local call. Finally, they messed up our bill and tried to charge us again despite having paid the price in full on Hotels.com. Bring your reciept with you!!!!
Esplendor is a great place to go to if you know the city and only need a great apartment for a few nights, but don't expect anything in terms of customer service.
Bien ubicado, muy buena vista en la habitación, las habitaciones son super grandes, tiene sala con televisor, dos baños, muy cómoda, el desayuno es muy simple me parece un poco pobre, pero lo demás esta muy bien
The hotel was beautiful with a great location in the financial district and in the City. The Hotel was clean and comfortable. However, the kitchen did not provide silverware or plates. In addition, the service was mediocre and some of the staff was not as helpful as they should have been.
Spent 3 days there last week. My room was a 600ft condo, complete with kitchen, office, living room with TV, powder room, separate bedroom with TV, closet, chest of drawers, glass shower, two sinks, and private toilet - all with high end finishes. The level below reception is quite cool and chic with it's own bar, and restaurant with reknown chef. My last dinner consisted of a 7-course tasting menu with accompanying wines and absolutely splendid service. A must if you're visiting Panama. The hotel also had a wonderful masseuse, Elvira. The only thing I found extremely lacking was the service, and the fact that when you spoke to staff in correct and fluent Spanish, they refused to reply. The latter was something several of us noticed over several days.
Overall we had a nice stay at the Esplendor. We stayed in a 2 room suite that was very comfortable (good beds, but otherwise cheap furniture). The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice view that is it .
It was Ok Hotel. It has a good location but it does not have facilities in the hotel. Like a computer center, a gym , a swimming pool.
Very nice view.
1. I moved in Esplendor hotel to celebrate my birthday, i warned receptionist about it several times that i would like everything to be perfect.
2. the bathroom door in my room # 1301 was absent (there was just no door)
3. my used glass remained dirty on the kitchen for 3 days i stayed in the hotel
4. the second day i had to ask for towels as there was none after so called (cleaning up my room)
5. though hotel has 3 or 4 parking floors in the building, guests do not have a direct access to it, so if you have a car, you have to pay 1-2$ for valet parking every time you come to the hotel during the day.... i had to do it 3-4 times a day....
6. i had flowers with me, but my request for a vase was ignored as i was told that the hotel didnt have a single one.....
7. for bathrobe i had to ask for 3 times when the last time i mentioned the broken door, so only after that they've sent me a kit with slippers
Hope the administration will pay attention to the quality of service of their hotel
