Hotel has fantastic canal view. Hotel rooms and common area look tired. Full of american, canadian tourists. I hated breakfast there. But you have no other choice. More

Rooms were great and unlike most service in Panama in the hotel it was very good. Breakfast which is included in the price is very complete. Hotel is a little far from the center of the city, cab fare is about $20, if you rent a car you will have no problem.... however a lot of contruction is underway on... More

We have stayed at this hotel 5 times in the past 6 years and thoroughly enjoy it. There are ongoing renovations at the hotel, but once these are finished it will be great. The breakfast is excellent, the staff is helpful and always pleasant, and the taxi drivers that work for the hotel are wonderful (yes they charge more than... More

This hotel could have been very nice. It is right on the Panama Canal, however most of the inside on the first floor is " under renovation" and has paper covering the holes in the walls, one working machine in the so called fitness center, business center is closed and their are some computers for guest use in an empty...

This is the only hotel on the Panama Canal, in the city. That said, it is not close to the city center so if you want or need to be in the center you will spend some time in traffic getting to and from. For us it was perfect. It's in a quiet and serene area. The sun sets over... More

We read some of the reviews about the place being under construction, so before we booked our 7 night stay I emailed them and asked when the construction would be finished. We wanted to book the last week in December 2011 and would want a suite on the top floor. They wrote back and said all construction would be done... More

We stayed there for 8 days at the beginning of December. We had a 3rd floor ocean view room and were very pleased. Friendly staff, great breakfast and a gorgeous view from our balcony. Having said that, you are isolated from the rest of the city. Other than the Fridays restaurant and the Balboa Yacht Club (get their bucket of... More

Panama traffic is TERRIBLE!! So if you are coming for business, check where your meetings are - and choose a hotel nearby. This is a quiet part of town, very near the main tourist sites (Casco Viejo, cerro Ancon, the canal, the causeway) but not near enough to really walk to any of them. This said, I would rather be...

This hotel is a big, U.S. style chain hotel, with all the nondescript blandness that attends that description. The only thing that stands out are the Canal view rooms which are quite nice. At least it's clean and reasonably comfortable. The staff are not especially helpful. More
