Canova

10/10 Excellent

"A great no frills hotel choice. My first choice when solo traveling to Panama city. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is friendly."

The Balboa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Un gusto quedarme ahí la pasé excelente atención al punto."

Albrook Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Allbrook Inn was a beautiful hotel that was well maintained and beautifully landscaped. The rooms were very clean and very comfortable, especially the pillows! The staff was friendly and very welcoming. The food in the restaurant was delicious and plentiful. The pool was clean and maintained every day. Nice deck and small forest on property that was very pretty full of beautiful plants and birds. Very pretty setting. Enjoyed our 9 day stay and would definitely stay there again."

Hotel Faranda Express Soloy and Casino, a member of Radisson Individuals

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and staff came to clean our room everyday Staff was ok it was a little challenging for me to really communicate because my Spanish is no good Breakfast was very good, sometimes was a bit repetitive but I enjoyed it for the most parts. The location was on point we were able to get around on public transportation very well and secured."

Marriott Panama Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Smooth check-in, clean rooms, good breakfast, smooth checkout."

Hotel Ojos del Rio

8/10 Good

"No hot water in the shower."

GreatCanal-Front Luxury 3BR | City & Golf View 401

8/10 Good

"This property is within the Tucan Country Club and Golf Course resort area west of the Puenta de Americas bridge, which means adding substantial extra time going back and forth from Panama City. (eg Monday morning it took nearly 1 hr to get to the city at 8am; this got better as the week progressed, but make sure to budget that time appropriately. The minimum travel time was 20 minutes in either direction). It is very close to Panama Pacifico Airport, for anyone flying in and out of there.Our originally booked unit was double booked, but our host was able to get us another one in the same building at a reduced rate. However, because of the unit change, they hadn't had time to clean and re-stock it properly, but the very-responsive hosts fixed these quickly as well, and even threw in the use of a golf cart to go around the premises.Very secure location (security guard at front entrance to resort) and pin/keypad to enter the building itself. You'll actually get the physical key from the security guard upon driving up.There's a small playground nearby for younger kiddos, the pool, game room, gym, and laundry facilities are up on higher floors of the same building.Great internet speed for those who may need to connect to the web while staying here.If you are driving back or forth from Gamboa, be careful to ignore GPS telling you to take Borinquen road, as that is for trucking/canal traffic only, not a normal toll rode."
