Hotel El Panamá

The hotel is very beautiful, have 3 restaurant, pool and gym, theirs is pets friendly also, is net to the station Carmen Church Carmen.

Las Palmas Restaurant best place for pizza at outdoor dinning,near to the swimming pool!

We arrived in Panama on a last minute trip that we didn't have time to plan well. We needed a place to stay before we could get thru customs. Hotel el Panama came up on my hotel search and seemed like a decent place for us to stay a night and figure out where to stay next.

For staying in the city, we liked it so much that we stayed 2 nights. Rooms are spacious, clean. We felt secure while there and the staff was wonderful. Free breakfast was delicious and had a great variety of foods. You can store your bags in a secure location if you need to before check in or after checkout.

Centrally located to explore Panama City. Pool area is lovely.

I used to work here in the lates 90s. I worked special events . Started at 16 years old . Met some famous people in the few years I worked there. It was very hard work. It was my intro to different food and people from other countries . I knew nothing of it . Back then this hotel was five stars. We were trained hard . Our capitan was a Colombian man with last name Ceballos . He trained us like we were paramilitaries or something . Harmodios the second captain was more agreeable. My first job ever and it was hard. There were times I recall working 24 hours . We would maybe a few hours of rest and go back on . It was humbling work . Some of the rich people were mean. I saw the most beautiful weddings there . I served so many of them . This job taught me a lot . I still when I can and have time when I visit Panama I try to stay there at least a night .
It def is not what I was before . I will always be thankful for what I learned there . Although during my time there as a server I used to dream of having a different life and not having to do that job anymore . I am grateful now .
I remember getting there from Arraijan to this hotel would take hours . Getting out of an event at 2am , I would have to sleep on a skinny bench in the bathroom to wait for the bus that went by there at around 5am. I wouldn’t get home until 8am . Sleep a few hours be up by 12pm and get ready to go back to work cause the traffic could take some time . Very humbling work. I thank God that it was my first job. This job humbled me . If I had gotten a job as receptionist or something I prob would have been proud . This job taught me how to serve people . Which is exactly what Jesus says “we are servants “ .
My last time here , I enjoyed it . Def not the five star I remember but I stay there because of the memories. As a 16 year old never crossed my mind that one day I could afford to stay there . I had one of my friends stay there too . We both worked at this place . Memories , memories ! I know the ins and outs of this hotel . The kitchen was always clean. Everyone that worked there during that time were hard workers . I would love to go where clients weren’t allowed just to see how much it changed . Memories, memories ! Thank you Jesus !

A good place to stay in, specially if I didn't had to pqy. That is the advantage to flight with good airlines

It's an excellent hotel, you could say is part of our history. They are known because have an great variety of event rooms simultaneously. They also have a casino where they have live bands, salsa nights, karoke or lip sync contests, really complete, the best part is really centric for city tourism and steps away of the metro station.

I highly recommend this hotel. It is clean and the ambiance is great. The staff is attentive. Carlos, the bellboy, was very helpful in giving us tips on how to enjoy Panama. Today we leave (stayed from june 20-26 2018) and i forgot to schedule the shuttle to airport (requires 24 hrs notice) but the front desk made it happen. my daughter and i used the sauna and they turned it on for just the two of us to use 😊. i will definitely come back to this hotel.

I dont know where to beginning, Jean the receptionist made my stay the best stay everrrr in any of the hotels I have ever been to and i travel around the world. His smile, willingness,attentiveness, and knowledge is espectacular. Thank you hotel el Panama but more thank yous to jean !

I will be back

Great Hotel, fun pool and bar. The supper buffet was unreal, don’t pass it up!

Good service, actually better than most other hotels I have visited around the world.

The rooms a quite good, though the outside is a bit dated

I couldn't know it complete. However, the staff always lice attentive to hotel guess. Unfortunately, the access to the hotel sometimes represent a problem for the Uber o taxi drivers.

I had my wedding reception and I spent the night at the Hotel. The food is very good, the service at the reception was nice, I felt that I had nothing to complaint about. I just wanted to spent one more day. The pool is good also.

Good location, in the center of the city, with main facilities within walking distance, including the metro with direct access to Albrook Mall. Pool and BBQ area, beautiful dinner at night. Reasonal prices. Parking area. Middle size Convention Center, appropiate for company events. Safe area. Beautiful Catholic church in the neighborhood. Stores and rental car around.

Very nice visit. Fun good food clean and comfortable big beds

Very Nice Hotel. Great Restaurants, good atmosphere. Nice pool and gift shops. Highly recommended.

I love staying at this hotel hospitality is very good and clean 👌 my next trip I will be staying there.
