Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Typical budget hotel with interesting room decor, very clean and close to local restaurants and 24 supermarket.Typical Latin American issues, air conditioning and hot water but eventually everything works. The staff are friendly, English is very limited (Most of Panama city) so get your Duolingo time beforehand. Very nice place for the price, they do have shared dorm rooms but no real common areas other than a very small kitchen on the 3rd floor so the hallway can get noisy depending on guests. I would visit again on my next adventure to Panama

Para el precio que se paga, está bien realmente. Pagué un valor muy económico y por lo mismo no tenía altas expectativas. Sin embargo si existen aún cosas por mejorar, como la infraestrustura, la limpieza, el servicio.

Walls and ceilings and doors are gapped with space so EVERYTHING is heard room-to-room. I complained the 1st night and Manager did nothing. After 2 nights they moved me, but it was still UGLY LOUD. Wore earplugs to get to sleep, noise until 2 AM. ZERO hot water.

Basic hotel room which met our needs for somewhere clean and safe to sleep. Common areas are cute and clean. It is not in a high tourist area, but it is easy enough to walk/taxi/uber anywhere. Nice room for budget travel.

Canova

I’ve had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Canova in Panama on multiple occasions, and each time, it truly feels like coming home. I can’t express enough how much I adore this hotel, and if I could, I would live here! The location of Canova is absolutely perfect. It is very close the breathtaking Cinta Costera, where I can go to exercise and take in the stunning views of the water. Whether it’s watching the sunrise or taking a sunset walk, the views are simply magical. What sets Canova apart from other hotels, however, is the exceptional service and the personal touch from Emilio, the owner. Emilio's front desk team is very professional and they always provide the best service and exceed my expectations with the little things ....always remembering my name and preferences, my favorite rooms and other details that make my stay even more comfortable. I love the positive quotes displayed on the walls. They radiate positivity and mindfulness, perfectly complementing the beautiful plants. I love the walkability of the area and if you are looking to explore, Casco Viejo, it is just a few minutes away. Every time I visit, I feel so at ease, and I truly look forward to returning. Canova is more than just a hotel; it’s a haven, a place that feels like a true sanctuary. Whether you’re here for business, leisure, or just a peaceful retreat in Panama City, Canova will make your stay unforgettable. Thank you, Emilio, Edgar and Vanessa for making every stay exceptional!
