I loved this hotel for the location and decor. The bed was comfortable and the staff were so welcoming and helpful. The food in the restaurant was also fabulous, we had dinner and a few breakfasts. The location was great for exploring Casco Viejo. The only downside is the loud music coming from a hotel across the way until 2am. They offered to move us to the other side but there are church bells… so best to pick a room based on whether you're a night owl or early riser!

This beautiful hotel is within the old town in Panama City. Beautifully restored to its earlier glories. The rooms are large and stately. Friendly staff and restaurant on site. Lots to see and do in Casco Viejo, the old town. We took a tour through the panama canal and it was fascinating!

Great location, beautiful, but a bit loud
Overall, it is a lovely historic building. Our room was on the top floor directly across from a church tower, bells are loud and ring often, especially on Sundays. We could also hear loud music late into the night from nearby restaurants/bars. Ear plugs are a must. The floor was a bit dirty and we had no hand soap. Bed was quite comfortable if a bit on the hard side. The food in restaurant was inconsistent. Breakfasts were very good but dinner was not great (meat so tough, could not eat it). They did take the meal off our bill. Front desk and door men all very helpful.

A lovely property overlooking Plaza Herrera in the Casco Viejo area of Panama City. I will say, prior to staying there, I was a bit concerned about several reviews that claimed there was no hot water...oh my God! They were SO wrong! Not only is there hot water but the shower has such great pressure that I nearly got whiplash! Swimming pool is a nice, serene area and there's a small gym on the 1st floor. One curious thing, however, is that both the hotel's bar and restaurant close ridiculously early--like 6:00 p.m. so the restaurant doesn't serve dinner--no problem since there are so many restaurants around, but odd. Loved the central location, so close to restaurants, the historic churches and museums. Not a ton of shopping in Panama City other than for Panama hats and chocolate.

Gorgeous, renovated colonial hotel in Casco Viejo, Panama City. The rooms were wonderfully spacious, the accommodations were luxuriously, comfortable, and the hotel staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. The area around the hotel is very easy to walk with lots of restaurants, cafés, museums, and souvenir shops. Traffic in this corridor can be a little difficult but taxis and ride-shares abound. We would happily stay here again upon our return to the city and will most definitely recommend it to family and friends alike.
