Everything about our stay was flawless! The staff is extremely accommodating! The room was very nice and in a terrific location. I had read one review that said a room had street noise. If that is a concern to you they are very willing to make sure you have an inside room overlooking the courtyard. We will definitely be back!

My husband & I stayed 3 nights at this lovely hotel in the heart of Casco Viejo, Panama. We loved the place. Staff is super helpful and kind. LOCATION LOCATION. Main Plaza and Cathedral are located one block away. Main places to visit, plazas, great rooftops, and great restaurants are at walking distance. When back to Panama will definitely go back to this hotel.

Very convenient location. Room is clean and temperature is easily controlled. There is de-humidifier in the hallway so it helped to control the humidity. The staff are very nice and pleasant. Just some minor things need to improve. The first day arrival it was after 3pm and room was not ready. We had to wait 20 mins. There was only one piece of soap in the bathroom. No shower gel so the only piece of soap had to be used for washing hands and taking shower. No garbage bin in the room except washroom. No bed side table and lamp. During the week it was quiet at night. But Saturday night there was a bit noise on the street like someone blowing the whistle, a bit strange but not too bothering. I really like the area. It feel very safe, lots of police present in the whole old town. There are lots of good restaurants, cafe and shops. If you want to buy some souvenirs this is the best place. It's very walkable but have to be careful about the uneven surface and high curb of the sidewalks and crossing the streets there are no traffic lights.

excellent stay in Casco Viejo

Excellent stay in Casco Viejo, perfectly located for us to explore by foot. Fun rooftop bar, nice modern decor. My only complaint is, umm.. well, what's wtih the see-through bathroom door?? Who wants this?? Anyway, that aside, we loved the stay, would definately suggest it to anyone, but beaware, whoever you stay with can watch you in the bathroom.
