This is our go-to hotel whenever we pass through the city, at least twice a year. The staff is always friendly, the rooms are always spacious, clean and comfortable (especially the beds), and the location is ideal for running errands. As bonuses, they provide a small refrigerator and a coffee machine. Breakfast is offered, and it's surprisingly good for a hotel buffet!

The property is conveniently located in the city. From there you may reach all the iconic places (by taxi). The bar comes with some selection of food and drinks. Breakfast is honest but a bit more of variety/choice of food would be appropriate. The WiFi in the room works well. The bathroom amenities are adequate although for premium room (suite) you would expect to get the slippers. Staff is attentive and always ready to help.

Staying here was great. They welcomed me and gave me cake on my first night. Service was great and helpful. Room was so clean. View from my room was nice, i got to see the Panama skyline. No major complains. Though water took very long to heat up in the bathroom like more than 10 mins..

It was a great hotel. Clean spacious and the staff was accommodating. It’s a city hotel with the perfect location in PTY. Food was good too. Breakfast is served daily on the buffet. The staff makes it even more enjoyable.

Was an amazing experience while I stayed this hotel. The front desk lady was very helpful, informational and caring. Her empathy and quick thinking is a great example of an employee going above and beyond, without her I would have missed my flight but her quick thinking and actions save my day. I definitely recommend staying at Novotel. The location is also a great plus.
