If you want a view of the Canal, stay above the 3rd floor. Our 3rd floor room had a view of the trees and we paid extra for a Canal view. The toilet in our room didn't work, a problem the staff fixed immediately, but on the final day of our 3 day stay, the same problem happened again and... More

We just spent 3 nights at this hotel and were very disappointed, if we had been able to check out and go elsewhere we would have done but unfortunately we had paid in advance:( We paid extra for a room with a view of the Miaflores Locks. Unfortunately the room we were given was on the 3rd floor with a... More

Stay at this hotel primarily for location proximity to canal and Meura Flores locks (5 minutes drive) with hotel providing shuttle at noon daily free of charge. Also close to Panama Canal Railway for exquisite trip from Panama City to Colon passing along side of canal and through rainforest at Gamboa. Cost $42.50 each takes one hour. Trip on Panama... More

Enjoyed the area. Monkey Island, Canal cruise, Stayed here for 2/3 days. Food is good. Had a demo by Chef Francisco Castro. Be sure to get room in front to see canal working day and night. The other rooms have nothing to view except apartments. More

My husband and I stayed 5 nights. The Panama Canal was right in front of our window!!! The accommodations were great and staff very friendly. The beer was extremely overpriced. You pay for one beer what a six-pack costs (about $3.50). The pool area was nice, but I never saw anyone using it. I know I didn't because meeting rooms... More

This hotel is very nice and very well located to Gatun Lake and the Panama Canal but for a hotel that trains its employees, its quite pricey. We paid $125/night here which was only $50 less then the Intercontiental! If you want an American chain that you know what to expect then this is a good place. Otherwise, just stay... More

We really enjoyed our stay at HI City of Knowledge. The hotel was immaculate, the service great, the pool area small but adequate for enjoying the gorgeous weather. We also enjoyed the views from our Canal side windows, I spent hours watching ships like the Queen Elizabeth go through the locks. Make sure you ask for a room on the... More

Rooms nice, large, with safe & refrigerator. Lobby area was attractive. We were part of a large tour so some of our experiences wouldn't relate to individuals. The breakfast, which I assume was for everyone, was adequate. Dinner on our own was very good...pasta dishes. The group buffet was disorganized with our 2 tour guides doing a lot of help... More

Remember when "the best surprise is no surprise"? The slogan had been put to rest with good reason. On two different occasions, we stayed at the Holiday Inn - City of Knowledge near the Panama Canal and were quite surprised for a number of reasons. The biggest was the front desk staff. Both times, we had special requests and both... More
