Hotels Near Cancha Sintética Escuela Dr. Belisario Porras in Panama City

Panama House was exactly what I was looking for during my 24hr layover in Panama City. I rented a single private room, though dorm rooms and larger private rooms were available. The very kind woman (I’m terrible with names, or else I would name her) who operates the B&B with her family was extremely helpful to me as I was not well prepared in planning or preparation for my layover. My flight arrived late in the evening and customs took forever, but I called and the woman confirmed I could arrive anytime and assured my check-in would not be troublesome. Luggage lockers were not available in Terminal 2 of PTY, but Panama House very kindly allowed me to leave my bags safely in the B&B while I went out and traveled. I also needed help decided what to do in my short time, and i was on a budget, so the woman at Panama House made recommendations on affordable sightseeing and the best means to get there. Check-out is at noon which was great because I went and hiked in the Metropolitan Natural Park and ate lunch before I had to Uber back to check out. The location of the B&B is great because it is not in the super highfalutin part of town where traffic is a mess, and it centrally located where an uber could get to all the major sights in the same amount of time (Metropolitan Park, Old Panama, Casco Viejo, etc).I wish my layover and time in Panama was longer so I could explore more of the city and experience the great amenities of Panama House including the game room, exercise equipment, outdoor lounge area (cover and uncovered), BIRDS, etc.

We stayed here for 5 nights to be able to acclimatise to the weather in Panama. We got a room with windows to the floor, which gives a nice touch for the view over the city. The room is ok, spacious, but worn out. Specially the bathroom is in need of a make-over. The beds were mixed, one had a good mattress the other a soft one with a dent in it. Wifi worked very well. Very friendly staff. My main reason for 3 starts is that this hotel advertises itself as adhering to Planet 21, (link to Accor Planet 21 site removed  ) meaning amongst others that they are reducing food waste. Well, have a look at the pictures here and you'll see that a small portion of jelly is in a plastic cup, the abricot jam is in plastic, the butter is in plastic, and the youghurt as well. The third picture shows you the waste after having had breakfast... I know I have a sweet tooth ;) So, not really planet 21...

My friend and I stayed here for 3 nights in December and we booked our rooms using booking.com. As a travel agent I know that direct bookings are always better but the rate found on booking.com was much better. When we got there, the reception staff (Clarence I believe his name was) did not want to honor our room, stating that even though there was no way our room description said ”bay view” because those rooms arent offered on booking. com so I pulled up my reservation and showed him exactly what the description of the room we paid for was, a Sea view. He was very argumentative and his lack of professionalism was even noticeable on the way he dressed. I really didnt even think he was the receptionist, I though he was maybe doing some repair or something behind the desk. After a few minutes back and forth, we finally got our sea view room which to my surprise it was very clean and spacious. The decor was nice and modern, it looks like they invested money on updating the rooms and hallways but the hotel itself needs a lot of work. This hotel was built in the 60s and it shows! the a/c units look rusty and moldy on the outside, the restaurant decor looks so old and the pool deck, although nice, it could use a little TLC. Overall it was an ok stay, I wouldnt stay there again despite its good location.

The hotel is far from the airport, it takes a long time to take the car, the surrounding area is safer, the room is not very big, the traffic is very convenient, the hotel is a supermarket one block away.

The property has a great ocean view - at the bar and in the room. Staff are warm, friendly and helpful. Recognize Hilton Diamond members and provided great benefits. Great ocean view in the public areas and the room. We had a very good experience and think it provides excellent value. We are considering to spend a month there in the winter!!!!

The most outstanding part of our experience at this hotel was the customer service. I believe that it is not the absence of problems that make an establishment great, rather the ability to address them in a professional manner that is impressive. We had a number of issues. First, we were assigned to the wrong room but that was changed within minutes. The lamp didn't work and that was fixed quickly. There was a musty smell in our room from the high humidity but that was addressed by giving us a dehumidifier. The toilet stopped working and that was fixed within minutes. Every single employee was courteous, kind and helpful. The atmosphere was very positive. The breakfast buffet was amazing. Our room was cleaned every day and we had a great relationship with the housekeeper. The only thing that was worrisome was that the phone in our room did not work and they were not able to have it repaired during our stay but I believe this was out of the control of the hotel. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever experienced in a hotel. I am a terrible sleeper when I travel and I slept well every night. Our experience may have been unusual with some of the problems. I would only recommend that a room is checked thoroughly to make sure everything is working well before guests check in. However, this did not negatively impact our stay. We absolutely loved this hotel. The people make it great! The only thing I didn't like was the terrible odour from garbage I think, that was a deterrent for us to be outside at the pool. We rented an apartment style suite. There is a grocery store a short walk away and the hotel has a laundry room at no charge.

Location was perfect, front desk was exceptionally fast and friendly for checking in, checking out and helping me with with printing, transportation service from the PTY airport and back was fast, secure and comfortable, the servers at the restaurants were very attentive, and I was extremely grateful how the front desk personnel called me and arrange to get to me what I left behind in my room. They took really good care of me!!

We arrive to the airport, and a bus was sent for pick up by Riande Hotel. It has a shift every hour. The room was clean and a nice smell of roses. The pool is huge and warm at night. The bar near the pool was great, good drinks and great dinner. Next day we left to the Airport with the bus of Riande Hotel. Highly recomended

The room is comfortable and sanitary, the environment is very good, and the stay is very comfortable. The front desk staff are warm and friendly. Breakfast is also good. We participated in the short rainforest tour provided by the hotel, and saw the unique flora and fauna of the rainforest, such as different kinds of butterflies, frogs, and sloths, which are very cute! What an unforgettable experience.
