Hotel Riu Plaza Panama

8/10 Good

"The facility including the room were clean. The staff was kind. The breakfast was amazing with so many choices!"

Hotel La Compañía Casco Antiguo

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and property was clean. I was visiting Panama to celebrate my birthday, and the staff was kind enough to leave a cake and note in the room for me. The property is also in a good location, close enough to walk around casco. Would definitely recommend, and I would stay there again if I come back to Panama City."

Hotel San Felipe

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing! Everything was very clean! Loved this boutique hotel! The location in the heart of Casco Viejo is perfect! Easy to walk all over Casco Viejo (although many of the sidewalks are very old and uneven so you have to watch where you’re walking while also enjoying the sites). Numerous restaurants, ice cream shops, souvenir shops and vendors, even a dedicated gluten free restaurant Celikateses for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Google self-guided walking tour of Casco Viejo and make sure to stop at the church with the world’s largest nativity scene! Everyone was very friendly and we would definitely return to Hotel San Felipe!"
