The shower was not hot. A little disappointing.

The hotel is fun. The rooms were above average. Beds were wonderful. Restaurants were nice. The gym was lovely.

Breakfast should have some plant based milk for non dairy people. The price is high; not sure why it costs close to $100.00 per night in David.

Nice old hotel in David. The pool is great; that is pretty much why we stay at this hotel whenever we are in David. It is good sized, clean and never very busy. The gardens around the pool are lovely, too. Breakfast is included and with several options. Will always recommend Gran Hotel Nacional to friends visiting David.

Location as far as walking to shopping and restaurants. Restaurant menu was benign. Not much for selections for beverages.

It was a classic hotel from the early twentieth century. Reasonably kept up.

Lamp needed at desk in our room. Handheld shower was damaged and leaking, no makeup mirror in bathroom. Unfortunately, the quality of the food in the restaurants was not even average, with the barbecue area being the worst, with undercooked ribs. Many options on the menu in both restaurants were unavailable.

Pool, restaurants in-house, garden area, staff most of all! Most staff went over and above in helpfulness and kindness.

I think we arrived before the painting season had started, but as it was clean, I'm not classing that as a criticism in any way.

The Staff were welcoming and friendly, willing to give advice when asked, it does help if you can speak Spanish. The bedroom was large, it was clean, and the bed, I wanted to bring home! Three Restaurants (including the Pizzeria) excellent choice of menu, well presented and well cooked. Great facilities, the swimming pool is kept clean, good quality poolside furniture, just beware if you have small children, the pool goes deep fast from halfway. My wife tells me that the gymnasium has good Basic equipment, but all that you need. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone, and look forward to our next visit.

Landscaping needs work. For a small price it could look a lot better. Pool around the tile needs some cleaning and fixing. If you added some Hummingbird feeders it would be nice!

Nice rooms

Our hotel room was comfortable, but the facilities in general seemed like time had passed it by.

Our stay was a very good value and allowed us to catch our early morning flight to Bocas del Toro the next day. We also appreciated the included breakfast and shuttle to the David airport.

There was some load music that I could hear into the night that kind of kept me awake.
