Bella Vista Panama City|0.81km from Avenida Balboa
Hotel location, clean and service is great. But I would not recommend it to people who need stable internet. If I would have chosen this hotel for a business trip I would have had serious issues as the connection is unstable and constantly cuts off after several minutes.
Waldorf Astoria Panama

Waldorf Astoria Panama

Marbella Panama City|1.15km from Avenida Balboa
The hotel is located in the downtown area. We came across the road renovation, so it was a bit messy. The environment inside the hotel is very good. The breakfast is simple but I like the taste. It has high cost performance and it's worth recommending!

Marriott Executive Apartments Panama City, Finisterre

Bella Vista Panama City|1.16km from Avenida Balboa
It was a pleasure to stay at this hotel with the warm friendly staff, especially Emma who went above and beyond to help us check in. While some of the staff may speak limited English, they make the extra effort to help communicate and understand your needs. This location was perfect for getting around the city using Uber and the fares were not that expensive (most trips were around USD 2-4). There is a grocery within walking distance, Riba Smith which has a lot of familiar brands and local items as well. The rooms were cleaned every day. The room was equipped with towels, hair dryer, toilet paper, cutlery including pots and bowls, dish washing liquid, a sponge and roll of napkins. We went to the grocery to get some food items and the kitchen was equipped with a microwave, electric stove (no need for matches!) and fridge. While the windows do not open in the room, it is still very comfortable. The washer & dryer are at the end of the hallway and they provide you with a bit of laundry detergent to get you through your first load of laundry. Only liquid detergent can be used in these machines and you will have to use quarters to operate the machine (at the time of our stay it was USD3.50 for washing and USD2.25 for the dryer). The front desk can help you with coins if you need (that’s where we got ours!). We stayed for two weeks. The room was on the 15th floor, it was quiet with a great view of the city. There were no disturbances or loud music, so it was ideal for having quick video conference calls if you have to work during your stay. It was a great stay and we will definitely look forward to staying there again.

The property has a great ocean view - at the bar and in the room. Staff are warm, friendly and helpful. Recognize Hilton Diamond members and provided great benefits. Great ocean view in the public areas and the room. We had a very good experience and think it provides excellent value. We are considering to spend a month there in the winter!!!!
W Panama
4.2/5110 Reviews

W Panama

Bella Vista Panama City|1.42km from Avenida Balboa
The W Panama was an unforgettable experience. It’s one of the best Marriott Hotels in Panama. The service at the W was the best I’ve experienced in Panama. They went above and beyond for Wifey’s birthday, I was impressed with the level of service received. They were quick to respond to my needs via the BonVoy app. and were exceptional throughout my stay. I loved how well they acknowledged my Elite status with Marriott. They even left a nice small cake in our upgraded suite. Cant say enough about the service, it was superb. The Wow suite has the name to match. It was one of the coolest rooms I’ve stayed in. Love that they offer so many room options, they are sure to meet just about any occasion.
Bristol Panama, a Registry Collection Hotel

Bristol Panama, a Registry Collection Hotel

Bella Vista Panama City|1.49km from Avenida Balboa
Unfortunately one cant trust all reviews nowadays... My wife and I did actually stay at this hotel at the begning of the month. I mean, the place is ok and you get what you paid for! We were staying only 3 nights on our way to boquete so thought we would try it out as it has changed management lately having stayed at a nearby 5* hotel in our previous visit and did not want to repeat. The hotel is located in what used to be a desirable part of town which has since succumbed to the inevitable migration of businesses from the choked part of town to more modern areas. It is centrally located but suffers from terrible traffic during peak hours which means that those few minutes they advertise can turn into almost an hour to get to the heritage area. Even in this part of town, hotels like W and JW offer more contemporary accomodations and facilities. Speaking of which. The Bristol is not a new hotel and seems to be struggling with maintenance. Internet was spotty at best and our room had a smell that I can only attribute to dampness and old carpets or drapery. Service was nice, people were attentive at reception but the same thing could not be said about the restaurant and bar staff. The rstaurant on the 5th floor lacks atmosphere and pretty much looks over other buildings and not the skyline they advertise. Food was acceptable but seemed to be lacking purpose. We ended up having breakfast the next two days at a nearby chain cafe and chosing to dine out at one of the many restaurants on our way back from touring the city. The spa is nice and does has suprisingly great views! If stayig at a nearby hotel I would recommend it. They do have some sort of a tour desk at the ground floor but we found the lady working there too pushy and decided to stick to our guides and the experiences we found posted on Tripadvisor. Those were really useful. On our way back we will be staying at a new property in Casco as it is absolutely beautiful and worth discovering. I guess that if you have business in the area and have to choose a hotel within that neighborhood The Bristol would be an acceptable option amongs many others. But be advised it is far from the 5* experience that they seem to be proyecting at the moment. Hope this review helps those who are looking into staying in Panama. We are moving here in a few months on a more permanent basis and would like to make sure we dont miguide those coming for the first time.

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

Bella Vista Panama City|1.59km from Avenida Balboa
We actually have never stayed at this hotel and never would! We live two blocks away and they play their music so loud in the pool area that it sounds like the DJ is in our living room. And that's on the 26th floor with all the doors and windows shut tight! I think it's very rude and inconsiderate to subject their neighbours to this kind of abuse. I have tried to call them about it but nobody ever answers the phone. Obviously the management doesn't care at all, I can't imagine how loud it must be for their guests!

The hotel is located in the city center, the rooms are large, the breakfast category is many, and the fruit is very good. The bathroom only has a shower, which is not very good. In addition, the window can not be opened, and the room always feels a heavy smell.

Hotel Riu Plaza Panama

Bella Vista Panama City|1.78km from Avenida Balboa
Service: The customer service was very good! All the individuals were very warm and courteous, especially the staff at the kitchen in the mornings. Breakfast : The breakfast was very good. There were many items to choose from. They also tried to switch up the different food items/options daily. Location: The hotel is a little distant from the Tocumen airport, maybe about 20-30 minutes drive. The hotel is right beside a KFC. There are a few restaurants and a bar nearby as well. Taxis are easy to get at the hotel. Depending on your destination, fare is from 5USD up. Casco Viejo is about 15 minutes away. Amenities: I didn’t really love the amenities. They were no toothbrush/toothpaste provided and other common things that I expected as it relates to amenities. Birthday: It was my spouse’s birthday and we went out and came back and saw that the hotel left a delicious slice of cake, fruits and a letter on our table for my spouse. THANK YOU!!!!😊😊😊😊😊 The hotel was clean. The lobby area is great for photos. The check in process was smooth. The pool has a bar and restaurant with reasonable prices! We enjoyed our stay 😊😊😊
Torres de Alba Hotel & Suites

Torres de Alba Hotel & Suites

Bella Vista Panama City|1.87km from Avenida Balboa
I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 week stay at Torres de Alba. It's in a prime location, within walking distance to Estación Iglesia del Carmen, Via España, and Via Argentina. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Although some staff is bilingual, you're in Panama so you should speak Spanish and/or use a translation app. The front desk is staffed 24 hours. The hotel is located in a safe location so I never felt unsafe. However, the 24 hour staffed front desk is great for extra peace of mind. The daily breakfast is filling. There is a full gym with all of the equipment you could need. The rooms are clean and spacious. There is a stove, microwave, oven, and washer/dryer. Everything you could need for an extended stay. The views are magnificent and it's nice to be in the heart of all of the action. I highly recommend Torres de Alba and am looking forward to my next visit!

Feel free to stay at this holiday Inn if you are planning to stary close to the city area. The hotel is literally in the middle of the banking area and has a subway station near by. Uber arrive fast since this is a busy area. Ideal for business stays in my opinion.

Decent hotel but definitely could use a little improvement. The hotel is clean and comfortable, although a little dated in places and banged up (our room's window had a giant crack in it, which had me wondering how safe that would be in a storm!). The view was lovely and the location is good. Breakfast was fine, nothing to write home about. The happy hour drinks and snacks were fair, and the food was ... not good. Definitely don't eat at the restaurant for anything other than breakfast. Also, the hotel is centrally located, which is good, but overlooks a giant parking lot that turns into party bus central on weekends (no joke). It is LOUD. The other nights were quiet, but this is definitely a negative on the hotel's location. Also, it helps to come with a working knowledge of Spanish if possible. At the front desk the staff's English is good, but at the restaurant and spa it's extremely limited. It was difficult to communicate with the massage therapist, who then also told me I was only allowed to pay in cash (which I didn't think was true but had no time to verify). We didn't use the pool because we were busy doing other things, but it appeared to be in need of a little attention. Also, housekeeping was spotty. Some days they didn't come, and when they did, they often didn't replace the towels (although they took the used ones away). Three times I had to call down to request towels, which was a little strange. Overall this is a very serviceable hotel that's located in a central area that makes it easy enough to get to most attractions by foot, cab, or Uber. Do not expect luxury and you won't be disappointed.

We booked this hotel as it is one of the hotels for free pick up and drop off on the Coast to Coast boat trip through the Panama Canal. We stayed 6 nights before joining a group tour of Central America. We found the easiest way to get around was by Uber - then no scams with taxi fares. The area around the hotel is a little seedy, with ladies of the night on street corners! However, there aren't any great places to go eat nearby with the exception of the little restaurant on the corner to the left as you come out of the hotel. It has a live band at the weekends, they speak no English but we had a great couple of nights there. We had a good breakfast at the hotel most mornings and once used the restaurant for an evening bite. Service a little slow, but otherwise good. Many Panamanians use this hotel as a base for local hospitals - there are several not far away. the only real disappointment was the pool. There were many broken tiles all around the edge, broken polystyrene in the water, and little, if any filtration. The water was a little cloudy and the tiles above the waterline covered in scum. (Sunscreen). There were a few sunbeds and a table and chairs for the shade. the NO alcohol notice was clearly ignored and many guest took their own drink up there and couldn't be bothered to clear away the mess. For us, the bed was a standard double and comfy, the room was a bit dingy but clean and the shower room was in need of an overhaul, but it all worked well. Wifi was good and so all in all, it served its purpose well. We were only sleeping there after all!
