Nomada Container Hotel Panama City

Containers used as hotel rooms. It was a good experience. The hotel is cheap for its location.

Don’t book. After booking, it said the desk closed at 5pm. I knew I would be getting in later. I messaged 3 times and left message on phone. No reply. I then called hotels. Finally on day of my arrival I called and was told someone would be there when I arrived. This put a lot of stress on me. This is not a 3 stars. It is 1 or 2

Best staff- I've stayed twice now and there customer service is excellant. The first time I stayed they were very welcoming. The hotel is in a very safe and walkable area. This second stay I had a four hour gap between my other check out and check in with Nomada. They kindly stored my luggage and were able to get in a place two hours early which I greatly appreciated!

I loved this place- great location, friendly staff, clean and comfy for a nice price. I've already booked my next stay!

I rate this property 5 stars within the context of what it is advertising itself to be. It is not a 5-star hotel. It is not even a hotel in the traditional sense, as the units have direct access from the outside. It is an eco-minded property on a quiet little street in the middle of the city. I have stayed twice and found the check-in process to be the easiest in memory and the staff was incredibly kind and friendly to me. The air conditioning worked great, the unit with the kitchenette was just what we needed, and there is even a little tienda across the street. I would recommend this property wholeheartedly to people who understand the concept Nomada. I have stayed at their other two locations in Panama and I am impressed with their peaceful vibe and kind staff in all of them.

Hotel was fine. Property does not communicate at all. After I booked, I emailed asking for an early check-in. It would have been fine if they just said no, but they never replied. Then when I arrived I asked if I could get in a bit early again. There were no other guests at the property and they still didn't get me an early check in.

This property was okay. Depending on what your plans are, the place was okay when it comes to convenience. It’s an average of $5.50 via uber to casco Viejo. My tours picked me up without any problems. The area is walkable and some of the popular cafes in the old town have chains within 20 minutes of the hotel. That was nice since I didn’t want to always go to the old town for a coffee. The mall is 20 minutes walking or 5 minutes drive. If you’re a solo traveler, this place is okay. No matter if you alone or with someone, if you want an apartment style small spaced hotel, then this is a good fit. The receptionist was very responsive and helpful when I had questions. One thing I will say is that it was a bit loud at times. I still slept okay since I’m a late sleeper. I have some other cons about this place but nothing extreme.

The room is ok but for late check-in guests, it’s better for the customer service agent to share the check in information before taking off rather than waiting for the guest to ask for information. From my example, I got to my room at 2am with no one to ask for help, I was panicked that I might stay outside for the whole night or try to find another hotel. I can only call the agent through WhatsApp for help. Luckily he/she answered and I’m able to get in but coming from a long-delayed flight to a brand new country, I felt lucky that my phone has enough power and data to make the call.

The location was perfect

We went on a friends trip and thought his would be a fun adventure and something different for staying in Panama City. We all agreed that it was very unique and we checked off that box but probably won't return. The area was clean and it was a fun experience. The beds didn't sleep very well. The staff was nice and attentive through Whatsap though we never saw another person on the on the property. We came in the late afternoon and left early morning so we didn't get a full experience.
