This clean, basic hotel is just what the traveler passing through Panama City is looking for. It is very clean and comfortable, with TV & free WiFi. It's located within a $2 taxi ride to the Albrook Bus Terminal-- a real plus. Don't expect a glamorous, fancy place-- you get pretty much exactly what you pay for with no nasty... More

Pension Corona is located in the middleclass neighbourhood and the staff told us its safe to walk around during the day. All other people like Taxidriver and locals said we should move on to the old town or the new part of Panama. We felt definitely not safe!!!!!!! Not a single good restaurant near the hotel. Staff is friendly. The... More

The room was clean with an icy cold A/C. Staff were friendly. Hotel has no character but has a modern feel inside. It is located far from the old town and from the modern waterfront areas, so you may feel isolated from the attractions and good restaurants. But the city is conducive to walking so don't let the hotel's location... More

A good option if you wanna a private bedroom, with a good shower and air conditioner. Its clean. There is no atmosphere, so dont expect to meet people or to hang out there. Its just to come, sleep and relax for another day. As tourists cant get bus at the city, its really dificult, the localization is great. By taxi,... More

The rooms were very clean and the showers had great water pressure. There is little ambiance or atmosphere at this place, but we hardly spent any time there besides sleeping. The WiFi was fast and free. It was a great facility. There is a bus stop across the street, so if your room faces that direction you may have some... More

Good place to stay. Four blocks from the water, walking distance from Old Panama City and downtown. If you are looking for glitz and glamour this is not your place. If you want to be in an area where the real people live, this is for you. Very friendly staff and usually someone around that speaks English (my problem, not... More

Hotel Pension Corona is perfect accommodation for backpackers. It has reasonable prices and is located close to many shops and also on walking distance to the seaside promenade. We found Calidonia (where hotel is located) as very safe area, also at night. Rooms are clean and comfortable, the only bad thing is that you can not switch off the air... More

Pension Corona is quite central, about midway between Albrook Mall and the area where the other malls (downtown), big hotels, as well as the nightclubs and restaurants are. So it's not really close to either zone, yet practical to reach both with bus or taxi, and at a stretch on foot. Also it's quite close to the seaside promenade, which... More

Very nice and clean. Looks newly renovated, new bed and mattress. Fast, free wireless. Coffee machine (60 cents+) in lobby. Both taxi drivers and locals say to be careful as this is not a good area. Just have the hotel call a taxi for you and always use safety common sense anywhere. Note to taxi: this is on Left side... More

Pension Corona has centralized location. It is located on the intersection of Calle 36 and Via Espana. It is in a middle class neighborhood and only four blocks walk from Balboa Avenue. Night club area and the Multicentro Mall are also within a walking distance for those who don’t mind to walk a little. Taxis in Panama City are cheap,... More
