hello, I suggest the Torres De Alba hotel and it would be a great choice. I have stayed here twice during my visit to
Panama city with my friend and his son.It's a budget hotel with living room, clean bedroom and a kitchen with a washer & dryer. They also have a small pool and even your kids can play in the pool and enjoy the play things around the pool area. It's very close to the restaurants and the Smithsonian's marine touch center. For more info on Panama city hotels, just visit

Train is the best way to travel from Panama city to
Colon and it takes only from 45 to 50 minutes. But the train runs only at 7:15am from Panama to Colon everyday, so it's a good idea to buy your tickets in advance and make your trip comfortable as the train is often booked full. The cost is US$20 for oneway. This train journey offers you the excellent views of
Panama Canal and the tropical rainforest. Hope your kids will enjoy!
