This is a 3-room hotel in the heart of Panama City's funky and wonderful Casco Viejo neighborhood. I stayed at the Canal House only one night, but I really liked it. The set-up is somewhat unusual - a lot of public space for just 3 rooms, and you have to ring the bell to get into the building (but they... More

We stayed just one night in the Miraflores Suite in the Canal House in January 2012. The location and the service make this property one of the best in Casco Viejo. The wrap around balcony allows you to observe all the activity in the area including the construction during the day and the nightlife as well. The number of buildings... More

Canal house and las Clementinas are run by the same people, both are excellent. Canal house has 3 rooms we rented the whole place for our fsmily for a night. Las Clementinas has more rooms. Rooms are fabulous. Both are in renovated old buildings so if you need elevators this is not for you. I love the old city. It... More

This is a really excellent place. We stayed in the Miraflores suite, which is massive and spotless. They provide complimentary wi-fi (sadly all too rare) and an ipad in the room for guest use. Finding English-speaking staff is a bit of an issue but the Spanish-speaking ladies couldn't be more patient and accommodating. Bear in mind that this is a... More

We stayed in the large Mira Flores suite of the Canal House and loved it. The staff were very friendly, responsive and accommodating. The rooms each had their own AC units, the bathroom was huge, the dressing area is nice and the upstairs nook is a bonus. The TV is a little small given how far away it is from... More

I have no idea what people are talking about with all the positivity. I never write reviews and am compelled to do so on this account. The staff was completely incompetent, and unprofessional. We had to ask for every little detail, from a key to soap, to towels, etc. The miscommunication was absurd, from check in to booking a tour.... More

This hotel is so beautiful, tucked in to Old Panama City which is somewhere in between total ruin and gentrification. The architecture of the hotel is consistent with the rest of the area, which has some of the New Orleans French-Quarter feel (architecturally, not culturally). The hotel is surrounded by great restaurants, neighborhood bars, art galleries, and near a village... More

We booked late and were able to get only the small room - there are three in this small hotel. No matter. It was just fine because there is a lounge and tv/bar room. The staff was great and the location in Casco Viejo is so very interesting. Right next door is an alley down which about 20 families live... More
