Panama City hotels in Casco Viejo

Pros: Excellent hotel in excellent location in Casco Viejo. Staff very helpful and friendly. We had considered staying in the Downtown section of Panama City, but very happy we switched to Casco Viejo. Much more to do and see with much more character and history. And American Trade hotel was an excellent hotel in a perfect location.

Cons: Nothing comes to mind. We were pleased

Pros: Character property and location

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The hotel was very nice Our room looked out on to a lovely square. Many restaurants around and being in the old city it was very interesting. We only ate breakfast at the hotel and it was ok. I would recommend the hotel to anyone.

Pros: The decoration, the service

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good location, great decor

Cons: SO noisy - you won't get an ounce of sleep. This place prioritizes being a quality bar over being a quality hotel. The rooftop bar was blasting music well past 3am every night and basically brushed me off when I called down to reception asking when the bar would close. The girl who answered basically blamed me for being sensitive to noise, when my hotel room walls were literally vibrating at every bass beat. They care more about making money off drinks than keeping their hotel guests comfortable. For the price I paid, I would never recommend Tantalo for a place to stay.

Pros: Great location, and lovely staff.

Pros: Great location

Cons: Once more, never trust the pictures... The place was in the process of shutting down for some much needed upgrades. They were already emptying the hotel and restaurant the day we checked in. No way we would have booked there knowing the were closing and emptying the place that same day. Come on!!

Pros: Lots of people ! Its a real party place with a great location and an amazing staff!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location was both good and bad- good because you can walk around and it is prime location in Casco Viejo, however, before of this it is also SO LOUD with street traffic and club music. It felt more like a nice hostel, however the rooms were pretty good.

Cons: Very loud, place is a bit cheap feeling overall. Staying during the week wasn't too bad as the bar wasn't open as late, but there is still constant honking and yelling on the street- no fault of the hotels. I don't think I would stay again unless it were a night or 2 and I was planning to stay up til 4am partying.

Pros: This is a quirky place in the heart of casco. Rooms are very clean and exceptionally spacious. The food was excellent and all the staff bery friendly. The roof bar is a lovely touch and great meeting place for friends. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends visiting Panama!

Pros: Great location in the heart of capacity viejo with excellent food and super fun decor and atmosphere.

Cons: Roof top bar had slow service, expensive prices and watery drinks. Given the view, it was still worth it!

Pros: The staff were friendly, accommodating, and very helpful. The food at breakfast was very tasty.

Cons: The noise level was completely disturbing. We did a noise level disclosure from the hotel after we booked; however, we were not expecting so much noise from the bar above us. The music was loud and nonstop until well past 2:30-3am!!

Pros: the breakfast was awesome, all the dishes were right prepare for us

Cons: The noise of the car horns on the street

Pros: Ideal Location. Great Food. Atmosphere. Employees. Roofbar.

Cons: Beds are a bit too soft. Nightlife and streets are very loud into the morning on weekends.

Pros: Hotel was great, clean rooms, excelent food, great nightlife, best hotel in the area

Pros: location building facade the porters/bell boys: I highly suggest the hotel management to promote them to front desk officers.

Cons: The hotel is not friendly to booking.com customers; we booked a Premium Double room with two single beds and they claimed that this is not an option for the hotel????? Bathroom stinks like public toilets (I guess this has to do with the hotel's plumbing system). Breakfast rather poor for a premium hotel.

Pros: Great location. Friendly staff except for the bar servers

Cons: The female bar staff we not helpful or friendly.

Pros: Very helpful staff. Beautiful building in a perfect location.

Pros: The hotel is a very nicely presented boutique hotel in casco viejo with great service and staff

Cons: The breakfast needs improvement...other hotels in Panama that are not as nice as Central Hotel Panama have better breakfast buffets with a nice selection of foods. Also not all of the rooms within the same class have the same amenities. My bed bed was only an American full size but others had King size beds. Also there was an annoying ringing sound like a loud mosquito everytime the air conditioning came on and kept me awake. It needs to be fixed.

Pros: Great hotel, great location. Hotel was very nice. Rooms were comfortable and very clean. Shower area is very messy. Due to poor design, water spills over everywhere including big puddles on floor. There is no way to prevent this based on current design. A minor change of adding a glass partition would alleviate this problem greatly. Staff for the most part was very nice and professional

Cons: One of the staff members working the front desk late night on November 15 (overnight) was not very nice. Breakfast was included in rate. We ordered Capuccino's every morning and 3 days later were told that they were not included in rate. They actually charged us for all them at that point even thought we were never informed that they were not included. I thought this was not good customer service. They should have informed us of this on the very first morning.

Pros: Staff members were very courteous and are was perfect

Cons: Showers in the deluxe suite don't have a door so water run of the shower. May need to look at this detail as we were using our towels every day to mitigate the water in the bathroom.

Pros: I liked everything about this hotel

Cons: Check out is at 12:00: I think it could be at 13:00 instead

Pros: Perfectly located in Casco Viejo which makes it easy to explore the old town. We had a room without window which made it a bit dark, but very clean and fancy! Great mattress. Nice breakfast in the next door restaurant Santa Rita. We loved the live band on the rooftop!

Cons: It was a bit loud at the weekend from the rooftop bar (and we were staying on the first floor!) There's no door to the bathroom, only a shower curtain - just be aware when you don't travel alone :-)

Pros: Good sized room although an odd layout might have been an issue if used by a couple. good location for exploring Casco Viejo

Cons: Traffic noise (earplugs masked the bar noise, but the honking taxis are incessant)

Pros: Hotel staff/receptionist were really friendly and even allowed a late check out.

Cons: If there is a party on the rooftop, you will not be able to sleep. Room without window is generally no problem, yet the hotel seems to have no solution to get fresh air in those rooms. Air-con unfortunately was not helpful at all.

Pros: CASCO viejo is the place to be. The balcony was our fav :)

Pros: I liked the interiors of the entire hotel as well as the room itself. The place was near to different restaurants and some walking distance ahead is one of the must-see places in Panama City- it was like a historic center. I liked that they have the rooftop restaurant and right outside the hotel was a convenience store. Most of all, you will have your breakfast at the restaurant just beside the hotel which was a really pretty place. Very comforting for your early morning coffee, nice atmosphere. The staff were very accomodating too!.

Cons: The bed had a division in the middle, like it was joined together. The bed was so close to the wall that it just had enough space for you to pass through.

Pros: Outstanding service! Great atmosphere. It was a last minute booking because we were stranded at the airport and Roger was very kind to us and accommodating. The rooftop patio is wonderful with a fabulous view. I was cold at night, but did not ask for a blanket - so that was my bad. I will stay there again! Thanks for making our last minute stopover so wonderful!

Pros: Welcoming staff, great rooftop restaurant/bar , clean and well-decorated room, and great breakfast. Will stay here again when I return to Panama City!

Pros: Clean and tidy.

Cons: I could not have breakfast in the restaurant because it was occupied. And the breakfast that was provided to my room was really not up to standard. It were not served in proper plates but in takeaway containers.

Pros: Steel, repurposed wood and concrete interior. Great beauty products. Wifi. Luxurious bedding. Healthy delicious breakfast included. Great terraces with waterfront and city views. Optimal location in the Casco Viejo old quarter of Panama City. Amazing rooftop bar, club, music and restaurant (Lazotea). Friendly and professional staff. Miguel the bartender especially great! I would definitely stay there again.

Cons: Nada.

Pros: The location was great-right in the middle of the city's night life. Walking distance to lots of restaurants, bars, and general stores. Rooftop bar had great cocktails and good food. The room we stayed in our second night was beautiful and had a balcony facing the brewpub next door. It was noisy, but this didn't bother us.

Cons: We paid a little extra and booked a room with a balcony and "garden view" as my boyfriend is a smoker. This "balcony" was indoor and overlooked a main floor "garden" IN the lobby. When we brought this to the attention of the staff, who were helpful, we were offered an upgraded room for the next night after some persistence on our part. However, friends of ours who had made the same booking and only stayed one night were only offered a bottle of wine and no discount on their stay. The first room we stayed in was very small, and had clearly just finished renovation. Most of the outlets in the room did not work. There were no windows (other than one in the shower that faced the hallway of the hotel). There was an unfinished rock wall that shed orange dust all over the room. And the bathroom "door" was a sheer curtain. The upside of this room - it was quiet. The upgraded room was nice - but only had 1 full towel. We requested more early in the afternoon, and had to make 3 trips to reception until one was sent up that evening (I guess their order was late?) The pool was "closed for renovation" both nights we stayed. But this pool wasn't really desirable anyway, right in the middle of the rooftop bar.

Pros: The style of the rooms, the location in Casco Viejo, The roof top bar, the towels and toiletteries

Cons: All a bit minimal... Lots of Very small rooms Rooms on street side are very noisy vs rooms inside having no windows at all.... Breakfast included in the room but nothing available early morning to make it to a 9 o clock flight

Pros: Rooftop lounge and rooms

Cons: The hotel is on the incline to casco viejo. Has a wonderful rooftop lounge and restaurant. Rooms are good. Value for money.

Pros: Centrally located in Casco Viejo, friendly staff, clean room (very basic - didn’t have a hairdryer in case you need one), there’s a rooftop bar which plays loud music (rather for us younger travelers I think), good drinks at the bar as well, friendly staff (I was with someone who know’s the staff though - can’t say whether that made a difference), haven’t checked out the restaurant or breakfast

Cons: People outside approach you every time you walk by and ask if you’d like to eat there (like in all places but I also hate it in all places), you can hear the music quiiiite loud from your room (I was in 101 - double room with private bathroom) but am sure that you can hear it quite loud from all rooms of the floor

Pros: Staff was nice and helpful, location was good.

Cons: The place was a shithole! A much worse version of the pictures. Like they took pictures of the room and then photoshopped them to look clean and painter and shiny! It’s like the upside down in “Stranger things”. The toilet stinks! They need to do so much work to look like it does in the pictures

Pros: Location

Cons: Small and Uncomfortable room. Leaking air conditioner. Loud music all night.

Pros: Great location at a great price!

Pros: Location is very good. The room is very small, foor furniture very low leve

Cons: Staff and attention is good.location is great

Pros: Cute

Cons: It wasn’t the cleanest but overall, it was nice

Pros: Let's start with the location! Prime location close to all the bars, restaurants and shops around Casco Viejo. The staff was super friendly and everyone was willing to help out. Also, a great hotel for LGBTQA+ travelers. Which is hard to find in Panama.

Cons: Ok yes, they say it's a party hotel and I do love a good party. Unfortunately, the walls seemed to be made out of paper. You could hear the bass of the DJ all night. Be ready to not get any sleep until 3, or 4 AM depending on the day. In addition, the room was very small, and the water kept flooding in the shower. It is an old building so they probably have some problems with the pipes. Overall, nice stay though.

Pros: As stated in the name of the property it is a party hotel. So there will be music til 3 am; but it wasn’t too loud. Overall its a good property.

Cons: We only received one towel and we were two adults staying at the room. The bedsheets had holes.
