What guests think

At Radisson Hotel Panama Canal, travelers praise the friendly staff, canal views, and setting near the Causeway and convention center, while repeatedly noting dated facilities, inconsistent breakfast and dining, and a somewhat isolated location best reached by car or rideshare.

Rooms are often spacious with balconies and standout canal or bridge views, but many feel worn, with maintenance issues and occasional musty or moldy odors. The pool area is pleasant when open, though guests report periodic closures and missing tiles, and bar and restaurant hours can be limited late at night. Expect a scenic, quieter base that suits convention center visits or cruise stays more than a busy downtown itinerary.

This hotel is great if you are going on a cruise ship or returning from a cruise, a few minutes away. The location is a good 15 minutes to Old Town. Longer if you need night life in Panama City. The room was quiet, and A/C was good. Bed was comfortable, lots of room. No hot water in the evening for a shower, but hot water in the morning. The TGIF is on site, with average food and prices. In the morning the breakfast buffet was plentiful although the scrambled eggs were cold. The bar selection was minimal. There is a small coffee shop next to the reception. The spa was not working. The pool was clean, but so many of it tiles were missing. Only 6 pool towels were present, and in use. There was nothing of interest in or around this hotel. For the price, this was a good deal. I would stay here again if only coming/going on a cruise.

This hotel has two main buildings one facing the Canal passage, one with a view over the Americas Bridge. Service was good for check-in and check-out, property offers good lounge areas and business center for remote working. Nice pool, Fridays restaurant adjacent, promenade adjacent that provides view over Canal waters and allows nice stroll to Amador area / Causeway.

The lobby stinks of mold. Slow check-in. We had booked a room for three, but there were only two towels, two glasses and water for two. The third bed was not made. The balcony only had two chairs. The room was very worn. We arrived at lunchtime and were hungry. It proved impossible to get anything to eat at the hotel. The restaurant was closed and the bar served almost nothing. The service was terrible. They sent us back and forth, no one took responsibility. The only positive thing about the hotel was their shuttle service. the driver was super nice. This is defensively not a four star hotel. Rather 2+. Not worth the money. Don't stay here.

the staff was friendly and accommodating, especially the gentleman that facilitated taxis and the front. the hotel is 80s/90s which doesn’t necessarily mean problematic, but the room was dirty and worn. don’t look in the corner or wipe a tissue on the baseboard. the floors were dirty. the tub’s painted-on enamel was chipping, the balcony door frame was pulling away from the building structure, and a cockroach jumped out of my stuff on the desk day 2. the tgif on-site felt depressing. all that being said, the view of the canal was great and the bed/pillow really comfortable.

The ocean was barely visible from our room through a thick treeline. The absolute worst was the fact that bedroom wall had mold growing on it and it had been painted over. Both myself andy his and we're sick for several days after a two night stay. We were both highly inflamed from the moldy air. The lobby was beautiful but as soon as you entered our room it smelled of mold. We were only in the room to sleep so we didn't complain hoping that it would affect us too much, but boy were we wrong.

Worst part was the safety rail in shower/tub broke off! Started to fall but able to catch myself- Told front desk. Could have been worse and a lawsuit.

Check in was very nice and quick. Room was very dated and in need of updating with rusty tub and marked up tiles. Food options were dismal with the breakfast buffet being cold and over priced and TGIFridays service being non existing and rude. The one bright part of the stay was the coffee shop young lady ( young short and small framed). She worked hard and always smiled and seemed happy to help me. The other was a manager at TGIFridays named Angel. Bright smile and helped me get served and processed when I was short changed once and ignored other times. I did have drinks at the Lobby bar and they were nice but no English and they disappeared often. I ate at the Lobby bar a few times and the food was good.

I must congratulate you on delivering possibly the worst customer service I’ve ever encountered worldwide. From the moment we checked in until checkout, negativity was the only constant. The pool—out of service with no alternatives despite having multiple pools—was “supposedly” reopening five days before our arrival, according to your Expedia notice. Early check-in? Forget it. Bars and restaurants close exactly at 10 PM, no exceptions. When we politely asked for a straw after hours, the bar staff’s curt “no” was the cherry on top. Truly an unforgettable experience.

Buffet breakfast poor and at $14 per person, really not worth it.

Use Uber to get around- much cheaper than taxis, & very efficient. Shame they were decorating our floor- strong smell of paint.

Em geral o hotel é muito bom. O café da manhã é supostamente até as 10h mas quando fui tomar café da manhã às 9:20 ja não estavam repondo o buffet e apenas havia o que tinha sobrado da ultima reposição. Perguntei até que horas repunham e fui informado que o buffet era recolhido às 10h mas que às 9:15 paravam de repor comida. Ou seja, apesar de informarem que o café da manhã vai até as 10h, se não quiser comer sobras precisa comer ir até as 9h.
