Hotel Lisboa

Super cheap stay when you just need a bed for the night. Parking is secure, but very limited and tight quarters.

Like: the air conditionaire Dislike: should clean better

Old, dirty hotel in a bad part of town. Lasted only one of two nights i booked and then got cheated out of a bit more cash at check out. My fault for booking cheap to start with, but have walked past several hotels here since advertizing the same price.

My MAIN problem was there is no fridge in the rooms, just hand held igloos. No smart televisions

I was quite satisfied, especially for the price I paid.

The hotel is basic but livable - don't expect the Ritz. It is a dated homey type of hotel in need of a make over, but nevertheless ideal for the budget minded who either know Panama and/or speak some Spanish. The surrounding area is somewhat "50/50" (there are quite a few homeless here, sadly). Avoid walking alone at night and only withdraw money from the ATM at the nearby Lottery Office during the day (straight up the road to the next block, you cannot miss it). Use Uber or taxis which are plentiful although there is a Metro very close by (don't forget your face shield and surgical mask). You will need a smattering of Spanish skills here at the very least, or a good translator. The price is right here and the staff are pleasant and so it gets a "Very Good" rating from me, but it won't be suitable for everyone. Don't miss breakfast at the Del Fogon Latino cafe across the road or the great seafood restaurant around the corner (Benidorm Restaurante).
