Best hotels & accommodations in Panama City

what a refreshing change from some of the unprofessional, not equipped, unkempt places in panama! They really get the international traveler and don't charge an absolute fortune to get it. Friends from Spain recommended the BW Zen and they were not wrong! I have already rebooked for July 5 and will do so again and again. Saving a few dollars for a fraction of what you ...

Excellent hotel, location and staff... I found no faults with this hotel. Excellent for families, groups and ect.. Hotel does NOT allow for guest unless your willing to pay an additional $30.00 USD per person. This applies mainly to hotel guest who might want to bring up local friends or acquaintances. The rooftop pool closes entirely too early (7:30pm) during summer ...

My family's stay at the Westin was very relaxing and comfortable. It's a great hotel that is away from the city and offers a lot of leisure activities for those with children or not. If you want to walk around the city I recommend not staying here because it is about a fifteen minute drive to the edge of the city, and not the heart of Panama City where most tourists wo...

Pros: friendly, bilingual staff; big, clean rooms; amazing views from room and rooftop pool; good food at the restaurant; well kept gym and sauna; great location. I don't really have anything bad to say about the hotel. Our stay was amazing and we'll be back next time we're in Panama City!

Nice place to stay in Panama City; Unless you can afford the same quality in the Casco Viejo area, this is a great choice. Hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. We paid $60+tax and loved it for the price (we stay in a wide range of hotels when traveling, from $20 per night hostels to 5 star hotels).

I had several nights at this hotel - just two minutes' walk to the Via Argentina Metro station. Spacious room (304) with big bed and small sofa, good bedding and bedside reading lights. Complimentary (I think) coffee making machine and small mini bar. Staff at reception very friendly and helpful - with good English language skills. Prices for laundry are a little s...

Good to stay if you have business in Panama City. I was so impresses with the welcome cookie which is the unique of double tree by Hilton hotel and it is very delicious. The lobby is very well design but the room is not as modern as the lobby but clean anyway.

Waldorf Astoria Panama is a real jem! Very high level service, unbelievable rooms, classy restaurants and a fantastic swimming pool and spa! The hotel is situated in the financial centre and it is located 30 minutes ride from the airport. Don't waste time taste Panama and stay at Waldorf Astoria a really new experience is waiting for you!

The hotel is very convenient as it is located next to the exhibition hall and nearby all the basic facilities like food etc. Also a walking distance to a nearby shopping mall. The hotel it self is good with ample room size but may be costly on certain peak month or functions occurring on the day you need it. The only bad about this hotel is it beakfast, same thing ever...

Our stay was satisfactory for an overnight stay before an early flight. However, there is no sign on the front of the building to say it is the Hotel Panama Marbella... in fact it is actually in the same building as the casino resulting in a lost taxi driver and a higher charge for my ride. Very frustrating.

Amazing location in the Casco Viejo. Very clean, well equipped, with a sense of detail and attention to maintain a retro style (light switches, bathroom, wooden floor, bedside lights,...) Some issues with the staff follow-ups - we struggled with airport transfer, canal visit booking, restaurant and jazz club bookings - and for the price they charge, you would expect th...

Really good hotel for the price. Clean, good condition, air con, private bathroom with great shower. Location is halfway between the city and old town- can walk to both in less than half an hour. Close to local places to eat and fast food places but not really quality restaurants. No english spoken at hotel. Staff are ok. Room gets cleaned daily. Only five mins walk fr...

Nicely decorated place with a small and clean pool, a communal kitchen and some nice chill out areas. Pancake mix and bananas are free every morning. Stayed in a private room which is very basic but absolutely fine for a night or two. Shared bathrooms were fine and staff was nice. You can walk to the Cinta Costera in like 20 Min, to Casco Viejo it takes 40 min by 2alki...

I stayed in the Hotel Tower House Suites after experiencing a nightmare situation at another hotel, and was glad I did so. The room was a good size with a small kitchenette, clean, and the AC was an amazing escape from the Panama weather. Would go back to Hotel Tower House Suites next time I'm in Panama City.

Great building on quiet residental with lots of space and good cooking area. We could walk to the bay and see the canal entry or jump on a bus to the end of the causeway for 25cent. You can take a bus from the end of the road to albrook then anywhere in the city. Great fun and small pool to cool down in. Thanks again for letting us stay.

I stayed 2 weeks with no regret. They can improve the internet connection in the rooms and the business center, other than that, all good there. Clean, close to subway station, close to the best area for a walk in Panama, Cinta Costera, you cannot miss this

We do have a great stay in Continental Hotel & Casino . Totally we stay 5 nights in this hotel .The room we have was big and nice .If we are again in Panama City and we would like to stay at this Hotel . Only one matter is this hotel have not free WIFI in the room . The rest was good .

i was a backpacker and had no choice stay here due to the limited budget. the stay was ok but not clean. no hot shower available. the staff was good people, so it was a help to me. also shuttle bus is available. normally you need an expensive transportation fee from airport, so it was a big help for saving.

Disappointed with the hotel and thought that a three star rating would provide better quality accomodations than those actually experienced. For example, the lighting in the bathroom was so inadequate that the guest could not tell if the bathroom was adequately clean. Therefore, the guest refused to shower and minimally used the face basin.

The hotel staff is kind and nice at all moments, they keep the areas and rooms extremely clean. The food is good! They offer rppm service until 9pm. It has a Casino and a Pool, maybe a turnoff is that the staff doesn't speak english.

We paid $60+tax and loved it for the price (we stay in a wide range of hotels when traveling, from $20 per night hostels to 5 star hotels).

I'm glad that I was only staying for one night when passing through Panama City. I would rank this hotel barely two stars. The neighborhood didn't feel very safe at night and there isn't very much to do in the area. The bed was uncomfortable and the TV only had a handful of spanish stations that didn't come in very well.

Panama is Spanish speaking! If you don't speak Spanish, things will be difficult for you - having said that (bearing in mind my Spanish is not very good) I had no problems enjoying my stay at this hotel - the management were excellent, the reception staff worked with me to ensure everything was good about my stay ( even extending a few days) food was home cooked, basic...

Pros: big, clean rooms, location was good (could take uber $2-4 most places) Cons: very rude staff! breakfast was very picked over if you didn't get there right at 7 - I couldn't find cutlery or a bowl. Their page says English and Spanish speaking, but everyone who I spoke with was very dismissive when I couldn't keep up with their Spanish, and they didn't speak Engli...

A good location on the edge of gentrifying (with accompanying higher prices) Old Panama City. Perfect for wandering the plazas and sights. One staff member in particular was extremely helpful in advising us about the best way to spend our several days there. It's a little hard to find, but quite nice within. Definitely recommend.

At check in the staff was awesome. My flight and I arrived early to Panama City. The transfer to the hotel went off without a hitch and I arrived at the Executive hotel several hours before. I was content with wi-fi access and sat down to message friends. Before the first message was written, they issued a room and key for me. Carlos at the front desk was very h...

I like the remodeling of the hotel room and facility. However that’s it! My major dislike was the front desk staff. The day of my arrival was my honeymoon. Day’s before I arrived.

Traveler impressions of Panama City
It is a modern city with a very good public transportation system. It has the largest shopping mall in Latin America (Albrook Mall).
My friends who stayed in Panama city told me there was not much to see, yet I really loved it. Its skyline is phenomenal, people are great, there are a number of things to see and activities, shopping possibilities etc.
Panama City surprised both my boyfriend and I. We were shocked by how much there was to do here, how safe we felt, how friendly everyone was, all of the sight seeing and gorgeous scenery.
It is beautiful, breathtaking, architecturally rich, the cultural experience through the eyes of a Panamanian friend we met has enlighten our experience of Panama City.
If you are a North American expect to pay double or triple the local rate. Expect the Panamanian to try and rip you off.
Explore the old and new, which is joined by a wonderful waterfront pathway. Go to the Panama Canal, Casco Viejo, Financial District, and participate in various physical activities on the waterfront.
I am sorry not to be able to tell too much about Panama City. I was on a business trip. The city looks very modern with new highrise buildings and a very nice waterfront.
The city can be explored in about 3-4 days. Good location to book trips, e.g. Gamboa Rainforest or Canal Tour.
