fabulous! loved it!”
having tried out various hotels in this popular part of the city, this one was by far the best. absolutely loved it. the room was elegantly appointed and the mattress was excellent. the bathroom was handsome with complimentary toiletries and a huge shower. the air-con worked very well. on the 7th floor, there is an outdoor terrace with spa, restaurant, pool, and smoking area. the lobby restaurant serves a simple lunch for 6 usd. the much-touted new york steak restaurant is extortionate at approx. 70usd pp without particularly being exceptional. i never tried the sushi bar as its location in front of the elevators was off-putting. right outside the hotel entrance there are cheap restaurants, a gay-friendly pizzeria, and a few mini-markets. with the exception of the cleaning ladies, the staff of the hotel are not friendly. be prepared to wait and to be ignored at the reception desk – you will find that raising your voice and being rude yourself is the only way to elicit attention. the tariffs at this hotel are rather high for short-term stays; however, for 3+ days rates are slashed considerably (although not on this website – shop around!). at night, the hotel becomes a little less family-friendly. there is a casino downstairs with live music where you will be accosted and groped by working the circuit. that said, the hotel is safe and there is security everywhere. a big plus, for me at least, is that you are allowed visitors up to your room at this hotel at no extra charge. this is exceptional for panama city where the hotels control your every move and visitors are almost never allowed except at a steep fee and they have to register which is indiscreet.

Good value business hotel”
The room was spacious, the king size bed was very comfortable, flat screen TV, clean and modern bathroom - value for money. We stayed in the 12th floor and it was quite! The hotel corridor carpet though needs to be changed. The lobbies and reception a make up and the restaurants some lights and modernization. The pool is okey. I do not however advise families to stay as there are lots of everywhere in the casino area or at the lobby. You do not have to be a casino addict though to use this hotel, the central location is convenient for going to the panama canal, casco viejo and the coastal road for hiking, jogging or just bird (pretty ladies) watching. There are few restaurants nearby though. I would still go back to this hotel, if I were to go back to Panama City, but not for the full prize, but the 40%reduction price, thanks to Agoda!

Good Stay ”
I enjoyed my stay at The Veneto. My room was clean. No problems with air con, Wi-Fi or hot water. There's a store near by to buy supplies. The breakfast and lunch buffets were satisfying. My only dislike would be the taxis directly outside the hotel. They tend to overcharge in my opinion. I would recommend this hotel to others and will plan on staying here again.

Good location in center of business district”
Good hotel with a grand marquee reminds me of old times. Unfortunately in Panama almost ALL the taxi drivers will try to make you pay WAY more than you should. You should never pay more than 5.00 to go anywhere within the city, most trips should only cost 2 to 3.00

Good stay. It met my needs.”
Good stay, Great night life. Not a hotel for families. It is very much geared for solo travelers. The hotel had A/C problems but I assume that will be addressed. As with all other hotels in Panama, do not use the hotel provided taxi/car service. Walk 7 meters and hail a taxi and save 50% or more.

Great stay while commuting in between cities”
We loved our stay. We took a cab to the panama canal which was a short drive. Ate across the street at manalos (several times- cheap and delicious). Great stay and we even gambled a bit. Clean rooms, nice staff, easy to walk around and shop, easy commuter hotel. Would stay again.

Very convenient location.”
Stay was good, buffet breakfast was only adequate, not so good. No bacon, or sausage , only packaged sliced ham....could have been better. Was overcharged for laundry service when I checked out. The laundry slip priced my three items at $3.oo each, but when I checked out and paid, the cost was $16.00 plus taxes, rather extravegant!!! Room cleaning was good, but I do not believe the carpet was cleaned the whole week I was there. Overall, good hotel, but i feel over-rated at 5 star.

Nightlife at the casino”
The hotel is at a casino so it has the ups and downs of the clients that frequents a casino. The food at the steakhouse is impressive and the sushi and sashimi is as fresh as you get 'em.

A Really Nice Hotel That Is Poorly Managed”
Really liked this hotel and it's location,but the service was poor. I was given the wrong room at check-in which prompted indifference by the staff. When I did get the right room it had a very old TV and a refrigerator that didn't work. Maintenance came up promptly only to tell me that there was nothing wrong with it. In all my travels I've never had a man had me a warm soda and say "see it's cold." I let it go. My stay was short so I didn't care that much. Housekeeping was hit or miss. On arrival, I had one towel, the next day, I had great service, room cleaned, many towels, etc. Perfect. Then the day after that, back to one towel. And I mean one towel, no wash cloths, or anything else. Maybe they got distracted by the trash in the waste baskets they didn't empty. On the positive side the bed was nice and many of staff I met randomly were very nice. And that one housekeeper I had on my second day was excellent. Also, the hotel is huge and overall very nice with a great casino and bar. I really believe with some effort this could be a great hotel, but as it is the rooms are nice but the service is poor.
