Top Independence Square Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Panama

10/10 Excellent

"Safe to say Maid service was excellent…forgot to lock safe and left it wide open with all my money and jewelry inside and he/she didn’t take anything. That’s honesty…"

American Trade Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is marvelous, a true hidden gem in the middle of Panama City. Beyond the spotless rooms and the comfortable, well cooled space, what really set this place apart was the staff. They went above and beyond in a way I did not expect and will never forget. When something came up unexpectedly, they handled it personally, followed through on every single promise, and stayed on top of it long after most places would have simply moved on. That kind of genuine, no excuses hospitality is rare to find anywhere. I left completely at ease, knowing I was in the best possible hands. If you want a clean, welcoming home base in the city with a team that truly cares about its guests, this is the one. I could not recommend it more highly, and I will absolutely be back."
