Decent hotel, friendly staff the room was dated basic water pressure was not great but ok. Redeemable qualities breakfast was great best to get it included, decent pool size on the roof top and get a nice view of the city beautiful night view of the city. Not glamorous but if affordable is what you looking for it’s good for the price. Location not great at night to walk around but daytime no problem.

This is a nice budget hotel. It is about a 20min walk to Casco Viejo. However, the area surrounding it is ghetto. Im 6ft and 260lbs so i didnt run into any issues. There were quite a few homeless people in the area with lots of garbage on the streets. Dont be surprised if you see people actively using narcotics or prosititutes in the area. Aside from all of that, its about a 5 min walk to the main promenade. There is a loveoy bakery close by, lots of fruit stalls and a chewp supermarket. Lots of other street stalls close to buy clothes, hats, things like that. The staff were 10/10 for sure. Thr included breakfast is small but itll get you by for a couple hours. The rooftop pool is amazing. The blast the music very loud, i had to ask them to turn it down so i could actually relax and read a book and they were quite receptive to it. Overall id likely return as the price is right and its close to what i need.

Hotel Carib is our favorite place to stay in Panama City Friendly staff, roof top pool, and sunset dinners. Big beds, clean rooms, and even a small fridge if you ask for one. Free breakfast and a welcome aboard cocktail at the pool bar It's right across the street from a 5 floor department store and supermarket. El Machetazo for all your shopping needs. We'll always keep coming back. Ken & Debbie Filina

I have mixed views about the Caribe, the staff were excellent and friendly and the place clean. The hotel is in an ok location and it's very easy to travel to major sights by taxi for just a few dollars. On the down side the hotel had a few issues. Eg we had a blocked sink. However this was dealt with quickly. When our Aircon broke down we were moved roms. The restaurant is ok but I would like to have seen more local dishes on the menu. Breakfast was included and that was fine. The hotel appears to be undergoing an upgrade as some rooms were being refurbished. This didn't disrupt our stay of 9 nights The roof terrace and pool were good for relaxing in the evenings and served delicious cocktails for very reasonable cost. I think in summary a nice hotel with lovely staff but in need of a bit of updating, it felt quite 80s. I would stay again

I always stay here when I’m passing thru the city. Affordable! The staff are friendly and the rooftop view is phenomenal! Really delicious, very complete breakfast that’s included with the stay. So nice also to have the restaurant for when we’re too tired to go out after a big day! Thanks Hotel Caribe! Hasta próxima vez!

Bare bones hotel. The restaurant for dinner was not very good and we traveled with 10 people. No one really liked their food. The distance to Casco Viejo was a long walk but doable. If you are in Panama for one night and want to go to casco viejo, stay closer to it. We were also about 30 minutes from PTY airport.

Low cost - you get what you pay for.
A place to sleep and take a hot shower. The free breakfast was not that great. They couldn't find the remote to my air conditioner, so no adjustment to temperature available. Very small TV. The best part of the stay were the staff that worked there. Super friendly and tried to help whenever possible.

It's OK for the $
This could have been five stars. I rate hotels by giving me what I expect. A first-class top-of-the-line Hotel can get one star from me and a standard hotel with a little bed to sleep on at night with a community bathroom can get five stars. It is definitely a hotel for Panamanian Nationals. That's what I expected. I didn't want to stay someplace that made me feel like I was in Orange County Kalipoяиia. There's almost always someone at the door to open it when you walk in which is kind of nice. The check in was very easy and they had a person take my bag up to my room for me. Nice touch. The street is a little rough at night I wouldn't suggest walking around by yourself. During the day out on the street it's kind of hectic sort of like Tijuana. I'm hoping it was from my stroll around town and not the room but my arms got attacked and I'm not joking they're easily 50 bites on them. The room was Spartan and had dim lights and stupid bright lights and nothing in between. There was no chair. Other than that it was completely what I thought I was getting, a queen-size bed and it was nice to sleep on, everything was clean inside, bathroom had nice hot water with decent pressure. I really enjoyed the Rooftop Bar albeit it was very simple. But that was reflected in the price of the drinks. I had at least one too many drinks and I only spent $17! The free breakfast was the most dismal I've had included with a room here in Panama. The pancakes were good but they had fake butter, the s

The hotel is in the middle of the city - halfway between the old town and halfway between the new town and skyscrapers. The old town is roughly a 20 minute walk. There is a metro stop about 10 minutes walk away. The 11th floor open air pool is nice, but only 3 feet deep. The rooms are sparse, but as this is the tropics, that is probably for the best. Heat and carpet do not mix. The water is hot, the bed is clean and there is slot machine casino on the ground floor. The complimentary breakfast is cooked to order as well. All in all, I would stay here again. You do have to like walking though.

Rooms are spacious and wifi is working. If you think booking a hotel with breakfast is a good idea, consider that here they give per breakfast only a small cup of tea or coffee. It is not sufficient.

When making reservations, i did not see an area to change from ONE person to Two (my wife), and upon checing into the hotel, they doubled the room rate. Probably my mistake for missing the link on guests staying, but to double the cost seems excessive. Still a great view, clean, and great service at the hotel. I will be staying there again.
