Student Accommodations Near
Looking for student housing or a student residence near the school? We’ll help you find the right place.
Finding a place to stay in a new city can be one of the hardest parts of planning your trip. We make it easier. Spanish Panama Language School recommends accommodations right here in El Cangrejo, so your home in Panama is just a short walk from your Spanish classes.
Steps from your classroom
Every accommodation we recommend is a short walk from the school. Some are just steps from our door, others only a few minutes away. No long commutes, no taxis, no stress. You can roll out of bed, grab a coffee, and be in class on time.
Simple, comfortable options
Our recommended accommodations are practical, clean, and comfortable: a good place to rest after a day of classes and exploring. Options range from simple rooms to places with a few extra comforts. Features vary from one accommodation to another, and we’ll help you find one that suits your budget and style.
Some options also offer shared spaces where you can relax, study, or meet other travelers.
Depending on the accommodation you choose, extras may include a pool or a small gym.
Your neighborhood: El Cangrejo and Vía Argentina
The neighborhood around your accommodation is also the neighborhood around your school, and it’s one of the liveliest and most walkable areas in Panama City.
- Food from around the world. El Cangrejo has more restaurants than almost anywhere in the city. Within a few minutes’ walk you can try Panamanian, Caribbean, Peruvian, Venezuelan, Italian, Lebanese, Greek, Thai, Japanese, Mexican, and much more. Every meal is a chance to practice your Spanish.
- Coffee culture. Cozy cafés and specialty coffee shops are tucked around every corner. Several serve Panama’s world-famous Geisha coffee, one of the most prized coffees on the planet, so don’t leave without trying it.
- Pubs and nightlife. Vía Argentina comes alive in the evenings with brewpubs, craft beer, live music, and karaoke. It’s a relaxed, local scene, and a fun way to put your new Spanish to use.
- Everyday essentials. Supermarkets, pharmacies, laundromats, gyms, and shopping are all within walking distance. Vía Argentina has been renovated with wide new sidewalks and tree-lined walkways, which makes getting around on foot a pleasure.
- Parks and culture. Nearby Andrés Bello Park hosts festivals and cultural events, and there’s a pet-friendly family park close by for a quiet break.
- Easy to explore. The Vía Argentina Metro station on Line 1 is steps away, so the rest of Panama City is easy to reach whenever you want to explore.
