I had a wonderful stay at this place. The staff was incredibly attentive and polite. I highly recommend this property. It’s a bit small, though, and there’s no gym or swimming pool. But there’s a great restaurant on-site and a rooftop terrace with a nice view.

This is our second time here. We live the location, the staff, etc. if you are sensitive to noise, ask them for a quiet room. There are some inside rooms. Totally worth it on a big celebration weekend!

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.

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!
