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.

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.
