This is Hotel Alcalá.

This nice lady gave me all the information.

NOTE: Verify all rates prior to check in. The rates quoted below are a best effort by me to get rates.

The price for an individual is $19.80. For two people it is $22.00. This hotel doesn’t have Internet.

For other David hotels go here.

One person wrote and said that this hotel does have Internet for $1.00 an hour. If anyone finds out for sure , leave a comment.

We have stayed here several times the rooms are clean and the restaurant is very good. The only problem with this hotel is if you have problems with stairs there is no elevator.

Thanks for leaving a comment. I have also eaten at their restaurant and enjoyed it.

I have stayed at this hotel twice. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the restaurant is very good.

They do have internet $1.00 for 45 minutes, $1.25 for an hour.

Recommend asking for a room on the backside of the hotel to keep down on noise from the street. If you want to call a cell phone from the hotel, they are happy to charge $1.00/minute. Other than that, it’s in easy walking distance to the bus station and we haven’t any bad experience there in 3 separate stays.

Thanks for leaving a comment Drew. You point out an important point that may not be apparent to visitors to Panama. The owner of a cell phone does not get charged for calls that he receives. The fee for both ends of the call goes to the originating party. I am not saying that $1.00 is reasonable, but it is not free to the hotel. It would have been nice if they had made you aware of that up front, but there is probably a similar policy in all hotels.

Hi Myrl. Thanks for stopping in . Thanks also for the encouragement on exercise. Personally, I get enough things to see walking around David that I don’t need exercise going up and down stairs, but I am glad you enjoy it.

Hello.
I am trying to get a reservation for the Alcala Hotel from March 31 to April 3, 2008, but keep reaching a disconnected number. Help!
I have stayed there many times before and find it clean, comfortable, friendly and reasonable.

Hi John,

I tried to look up the numbers in the 2007-2008 phone book and they are the same as the business card that is in the post. One of these days, I will try to go by all of the hotels and get new business cards.

Hi John,
I have stayed at Alcala a few times. Rates went up a few dollars, I think it was $27 for us both. The internet was a $1 an hour on their machine, and you can save unused time for the next log-in. I found unsecured WIFI in my room, but it wasn’t Alcala’s. I lived there while I was opening my company and searching apartments. Great food and nice bar downstairs, I liked it!
I don’t thnk the numbers changed, my current card from October has the same numbers as the one you have posted.

Hello Don

Just to update you on the Alcala. We stayed one night on Feb. 14th. There is WIFI available now in the rooms – ask for the password at the desk. I am not sure if the room rate was for pensionado because my partner gave his pensionado / residency card and they charged $33 so whether this is discounted or not I do not know.

Best
