We were at this hotel for a convention and immediately received access to our room upon arrival. The room was large, bed comfortable, and very clean. Breakfast was included for our group and each morning, there was a hot buffet with an omelet stand, fresh pastries and fruit. A small complaint was that the coffee was not always hot. The... More

My room was large and beds were comfortable. The bathroom had a badly chipped tub but the counter was large enough to line up all the toiletries. The first morning the water in the shower never got even up above cold and my hair dryer was broken. I reported it and the reception staff had everything fixed within an hour.... More

Since my last visit a few years ago there has been significant improvement. I was on the 6th floor (called Executive Floor). Rooms are huge, comfortable and clean. My view was down to Via España (main Avenue) where now they're in the process of constructing a subway station (75% done) so Via España is but one lane today. At one... More

We missed a flight connection in Panama City, so Copa put us up for the night in this hotel. I would guess at some point in the past this was a very nice hotel, but it looks as if it hasn't been maintained very well, as it shows its age. The room was a bit musty as well and the... More

Hotel El Panama is a nice place in downtown Panama. A nice place to visit nearby is Cosway . Hospitality and restaurant was fantastic. Pool Side restaurant is perfect to have dinner irrespective it is little warm outside. Room I stayed was pretty good with two huge beds.

Staff is very friendly, and they make their best. The rooms are very big, and beds are good, great plasma screens and very nice pool. However the place is overall a bit run down and it has obviously seen better days, that is why I am not sure it is a five star hotel. The price is not expensive and... More

Since the last time we stayed at the El Panama, many things have changed. Much of the construction work at the hotel is done and a lobby bar was added. Unfortunately, the service has declined (so as common sense, might I add). They started by getting my reservation wrong. Had asked for a cabana, had to settle, for the first... More

I stayed for two nights on a business trip. The staff was very helpful and did offer me a free upgrade to a suit upon check in, since the hotel was almost full. Nice breakfast buffet (I loved the 'ham croquetas') and great room service as well. I'll likely stay here again.

Hotel El Panamà is located in the heart of Panama near Iglesia del Carmen and via Espana and many other hotels. I recommend it for its location and for the size of rooms that are normally bigger than in other hotels. Price is reasonable. I would not recommend to have lunch and dinner in the hotel.
