Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
I don’t leave poor reviews unless they are warranted. No cups nor tissues in the bedroom, bathroom was in the hallway, which was unexpected. No creamer for coffee, etc. It’s the little things that make us stay great this facility is missing all of the little things.

Great location
Room was large, beds comfortable, great a/c. This is a basic hotel (no hairdryer, no cups, no elevator, etc) but the location can’t be beat.

The entrance is in a side street and picture shown is the common area on the second floor not the enterance
Easy to walk around Old City from Magnolia Inn with lots of places to eat and drink nearby. There is no elevator and regualr rooms are on the top floor.

Wi-Fi wasn’t working, not as nice as the photos show it, no tv, no blackout curtain on street side window so when it’s dark out car headlights shine inside room.
We found a hotel for $5 more that was twice as good with smart tv, balcony, mini fridge, room safe, better beds etc, etc!
Great location, spacious room with comfortable beds.

Panama City quick getaway
was not aware that it was also a hostel in addition to a hotel - the size of the room was less than desired but otherwise very convenient for everything a tourist needs to do
It was noisy at night. I was a light sleeper. On second day, the staff on duty at night offered a quiet room for me. It was very nice of them willing to do that.
Magnolia Inn was the perfect place for us to stay while in Panama City. Centrally located in the heart of Casco Viejo, it is near great restaurants, tours, etc. The hot shower was glorious, especially after coming back from San Blas Islands still sticky from sunblock and sand. We loved having the common areas, especially the kitchen, to keep our leftovers and save some money on meals. I would definitely go back there next time I’m in Panama!
