The hotel is located in a convenient spot, close to the airport and directly across from a casino, in what felt like a safe part of the city. The rooms are spacious and feature unique front doors with carved designs, though the low ceiling might be a concern for some. The service, while courteous, could use improvement in terms of attentiveness. The dining experience offers a typical Panamanian breakfast, but the staff's service can be inconsistent. Overall, a decent choice for the price.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and had very comfy beds, along with a nice bathroom. I found the space a bit small for two double beds and wished for a queen bed. However, the recent refreshment provided conveniences like nice linens, bed scarfs, rainfall shower heads, and good wifi.

My stay at the Gran Hotel Nacional in David was a mix of comfort and inconvenience. The rooms were comfortable and very clean, giving me a good night's sleep, but I had to deal with a considerable number of mosquitoes during my stay. The hotel provided comfy beds and great pillows, which was a plus.
