I just love this hotel because it’s such a great deal, and it’s is super clean and even the most economical room is very spacious. The area is fantastic with at least 5 coffee shops within a 5 minute walking distance, and the fantastic Carbono gym is around the corner. You can pay per day, week or month. You can hire a personal trainer for such a reasonable price. This hotel is the best deal in Panama City!

This hotel is a great deal because it’s very economical, clean, the air conditioning works fantastic, the staff is very professional and courteous and the location couldn’t be better. There is a wonderful gym “Carbono” literally around the corner within 2 minutes walking distance, and you can get a membership by day, by week or by month. There are literally 6 coffee shops with a 5 minute walking distance. I couldn’t be happier with my stay!

Creo que el área de piscina es lo único que deben invertir un poco, habían 5 sillas únicamente y 2 mesas, no había donde sentarse. Se puede aprovechar mejor ese espacio.

A nivel de atención, la joven del restaurante nos dio una atención buenisima, mi familia y yo agradecidos por eso.

So most of the staff were really nice there was a huge language barrier from English to Spanish Google translated a lot to help. The hotel was nice and the location was great probably not another visit to this hotel. We had a lot of issues checking in and when we got to our room, our bathroom was flooded and I was not able to get fresh towels. I had to beg the front desk and the staff to get some extra towels so that when the water leak was happening, my parents wouldn’t slip in the bathroom. It took almost 30 minute conversation. Then there was the ordeal of the ice they wouldn’t allow me more than just 2 cups of ice and there are five of us in the room. Then there was the thing of the air-conditioning it took almost 3 hours for them to come and fix the air conditioning in our room. I have two kids and two older people. You can imagine how tense that three hours was in the room. We were also supposed to have complementary breakfast at the hotel but did not get it at all. I even asked about it and showed them a check out. There was $100 deposit which was fine. Didn’t know about that but that’s usual, but then what happened is that they added on some extra taxes and fees that was not a part of the original bill that was annoying to under understand why they were charging additional fees right now right the room itself wasn’t too bad. The room did why didn’t needed to do. It was for two nights wasn’t bad. down the street on the block was an amazing coffee shop Toasta.

It’s a cheap place, but they could be more careful with these “details”.

Hotel Terranova my favorite

I have stayed at Hotel Terranova several times this year 2023 it is two star hotel that I really like it for many reasons like for example the location is excellent as it is close to everything like banking, businesses, the metro station, night entertainment, restaurants, etc.
The personnel is very friendly, respectful and always helpful.
The restaurant breakfast and meal choices are excellent.
As to the cleanliness there's personnel doing daily cleaning and they are always caring for you.
Best hot shower of Panama, no doubt about it, but the shower pan on all rooms need some renovations.
I have mentioned on previous reviews that the hotel needs better illumination on all rooms.
Air Conditioning is excellent as well.
The hotel offers bicycle rentals and transportation service for a fee to and from the airport.

Hotel Terranova

I have stayed at Hotel Terranova several times this 2023.
Very well located at walking distance from Calle 50 in Bella Vista.
Near restaurants, at walking distance to the El Carmen Metro station, just near everything.
The pool is great and well kept
The restaurant is good.
As to the illumination of the room they need improvement as rooms are too dark
All rooms need a refrigerator.
Air conditioning in every room is amazingly cold.
The shower area in all rooms need better maintenance.
I have used in the past the parking which I find a bit tight but extremely secure.
There are no safe boxes in the rooms but reception offers rental safes in the reception. The safe boxes are bank type, very secure.
The entire personnel is respectful, courteous and attentive.
