Top 8 hotels in Colon, Panama

August 13, 2022 Diedre Savory

About 50 miles northwest of Panama City, Colón is home to the northern gateway of the Panama Canal as well as Afro-Caribbean descendants of those workers who helped build the canal in the early 20th century. Colón’s greatest claim to fame—and the main reason visitors come here—is the Colón Free Zone, a massive shopping showroom where wholesalers, retailers and the general public shop. You’ll also find Colón 2000, a cruise-ship port with restaurants, a supermarket, and shops selling duty-free merchandise. The most scenic way to travel here is by way of the restored Panama Canal Railway, featuring elegant, wood-paneled and carpeted rail cars (based on 19th century designs) that takes you on a hour-long journey through the rainforest to Colón.

Best Restaurant for local food

Reviewed By Hafid I

We did not stay at the hotel but stop by the restaurant to eat. Blown away with all the food and attention, went there with my family and they had all the traditional plates. This gem of a restaurant and it's food are getting harder to find in Panama. This place is 100% recommended

Roaches Roaches Roaches. Keep the lights on in the bathroom just so you don't get the Roaches. Good cold & hot water pressure/ AC works / WiFi works but you have to enter your password in the lobby it doesn't work in the room. Received 4 bars of soap but no wash cloths. Good price and in the middle of Colon. Free porn be careful when channel surfing with children in the room. It was traumatic.

OVER PRICED and COLD FOOD

Reviewed By Rolando A

This Hotel, in addition to needing to improve its structures that are covered with green mold, needs many improvements for the high price they charge. To enter the bathrooms, you to go through the shower first. If you have taken a shower, the entire floor is wet and makes it difficult to enter the bathroom. Does not have a telephone in the room to request services and does not have hot water in the shower. The food, besides being very expensive, is served COLD and not just dinner. Breakfast with a couple of COLD eggs. NOBODY has knowledge of HOTELS, everything is improvised, even the activities that they claim to have in the hotel. We had a reservation for three nights and had to leave the hotel the next day.ZERO measures against COVID. The owner is against vaccination and absolutely NOBODY uses masks and there is not a single post with sanitizing gel.

Excellent value for overnight stay to catch cruise ship at nearby walking distance cruise ship terminal. Pre-booked single rate for room at $40.00/night. Room very basic, almost spartan but clean. Sheets smelled freshly washed. Staff friendly but Spanish speaking only.

Complete fraud, No work has been done in years,

Reviewed By L8907VTgeorgej

There is not working hotel. Check google maps, that's what it looks like. The east side of Colon looks like the worst parts of Haiti. Stripped out builds, garbage and waist six feet high on the sides of the roads. Do not walk the streets at night. The reason they don't answer the phone is because its fake. Do not get out of your car at this hotel. There will be guys hanging out side waiting to mug your. This sight needs to be taken down.

Unbeatable value with a home stay feeling

Reviewed By Dr_Mulle

The Ofiuras Hostel is on the road beetween Colon and Portobelo, approx. 2 km before Portobelo on the left hand side. It is situated right on the seaside and offers new rooms with different standards. I had a double room with fan and ensuite bathroom and a porch which was lovely and unbeatable value. The host Cynthia speaks some English and tries to make your stay as comfortable as possible, in some way this place got sort of a homestay feeling as the kids are running around and playing. There are restaurants nearby, Captain Jacks is 50m away, breakfast can be ordered. A scuba place is also within walking distance. The buses stop right in front, so it's no problem going into town. I loved that it was right on the sea, you could jump into the water in the morning.
