Nomada Republic Hotel Panama City

I had a dentist appointment in downtown Panama. I booked this through hotel.com. What intrigued me was the use of containers. This looks like it’s a work that’s constantly improving, so some parts look like a construction site, but that doesn’t bother me. I’m in that business. What impressed me was their service here. Managers weren’t here, but they instilled into their guest services ability to make decisions. That’s what impressed me the most. I saw some reviews that stated the rooms were not up the standards, but my room is very nice. Some stated that the rooms are small but I find them adequate, I’m not going to be ballroom dancing in here. Originally, I gave this location five stars. Then this happened. The lock on my door did not function properly. The maintenance man showed me how to jiggle the lock while it was closing unfortunately, I wasn’t properly trained in jiggling a lock. And one time when I returned to my room, the door was wide open. This is a problem because I feel that the most important feature of a hotel is security. Without security nothing else is important.

Only 4 Stars, because WiFi is not quite good as could be. If you have to work or want to phone online, hmmm... 5 seconds working and 5 seconds not. In the container office next to the living containers, it seems that they have good access there. We want to giv it a try again,because everything else is very nice here.

Stayed in the Nomada Shipping Container Hotel in Panama City. We had paid for 4 nights but didn't feel safe so left after 1 night. 5 days after our stay our credit card was charged for the second time. The hotel is denying they took out more money.
