Top Panama Canal Railway Hotel Reviews

Central Hotel Panama Casco Viejo

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel had a wonderful atmosphere with live instrumental music throughout the day and evening."

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

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here for 5 nights. The hotel is in a good location with easy access to the train station, bus stops, and supermarkets. The staff were very helpful and attended to your needs right away. For breakfast, there was a lot to choose from and it tasted very good. I would recommend having a few a mats at the bedside area. I would definitely stay here again"

Hotel Riu Plaza Panama

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was amazing and the rooms were spacious and cleaned everyday."

Marriott Panama Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The view was nice,the staff was amazing, the breakfast was great. Everything was absolutely fantastic"

Hotel Ojos del Rio

8/10 Good

"No hot water in the shower."

Hotel El Panama by Faranda Grand, a member of Radisson Individuals

8/10 Good

"Muy bien ubicado.................."

The Balboa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room, great AC. Convenient to town."

Hotel Caribe

8/10 Good

"Some things can be a little better but if you are not someone that fuss too much the property is okay enough"

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."
