Heerlijk

Prachtig hotel, mooie grote kamer en badkamer en zeer goed bed. Zeer behulpzaam personeel. Heerlijk om bij te tanken na maanden backpacken.

Voor ontbijt, lunch en avondeten gingen we naar een andere locatie. Absurd hoge prijzen. Ook voor de wasservice.

Magnifique!

An absolute jewel in the heart of Casco Viejo. Architecture, cleanliness, staff, all superb.

Although I was upgraded to a suit, the windows were placed too high and I couldn’t enjoy any view.

amazing in all areas

staff is so friendly and professional The location is wonderful The breakfast is amazing in the breakfast area they is one waiter, on the heavy side of Weight, I apologize not to remember his name, every morning he greeted me with the biggest smile, always made sure I had coffee double checked on me and Maria. His service is what makes great hotels great. He has black hair, and always wear a black outfit. I just can’t remember his name 😢 Professionals like him that make you wanna come back to the hotel time in and time out. Thank you so much for hiring such a wonderful man 🙏🙏🙏

A welcome oasis in the midst of a beautiful casco antiguo!

The staff was stellar. In particular, Alanys, a server in the dining room for the breakfast buffet, was exceptional--very attentive without being cloying, patient with my elementary Spanish and always cheerful to see me. I'm sure the Hotel Central management recognize her potential and will nuture her career in hospitality. No less friendly and attentive were Josalyn and Walter. Great assets to the hotel staff!! In addition, Josue, my guia and driver did a wonderful job.

Unfortunately, interior repairs to the hotel and pool area needed to be made. I realize there's no good time to do these things, and commend the staff for being a accommodating as possible.

Very nice hotel, a bit pricey.

Location was good. The hotel itself is very pretty. The rooms, though nice and clean, were on the smaller side. Staff was polite and helpful. The woman playing violin in the restaurant was a very nice touch.

A bit on the pricy side.

Très bel hôtel en plein cœur du Casco Viejo

L’emplacement au top, les chambres sont bien, la piscine sur le toit avec la magnifique vue, le petit déjeuner copieux et savoureux, le hall d’entrée avec l’escalier monumental

Le service voiturier qui a mis plus de 30min à nous ramener notre voiture lors de notre départ, heureusement que nous n’avions pas d avion à aller prendre, le tout sans excuse ou verre d’attente, ce qui a un peu gâché notre expérience

PESIMA EXPERIENCIA DE ATENCION AL CLIENTE

NO RECOMIENDO ESTE HOTEL. En la era que vivimos donde la ATENCION AL CLIENTE es mucho mas valorada que incluso las comodidades tiene un equipo de personal PAURRERIMO, completamente enfocado en la ganancia economica y no en la experiencia del usuario.

El hotel tiene un personal CARENTE DE TODA CALIDAD HUMANA. Cuando uno VIAJA existen miles de imponderables que estan ajenos a la voluntad del pasajero, mas aun en la era de la compañia LOW COST donde el costo y la maximización de beneficios son lo que las gobierna y no el cumplimiento de horarios o de servicios mucho menos el de la CALIDAD. La aerolinea NOS CAMBIO EL VUELO, sin derecho a replica ni a queja, y eso hizo que NO pudieramos llegar a Panama el 13 de febrero. El hotel fue completamente INTRANSIGENTE aun considerando la situacion ajena a nuestra voluntad y nos hizo perder la noche de alojamiento sin devolucion y tampoco con cambio de fecha . hasta se negaron a darnos un voucher para hacer uso de lo pagado en otro momento del ano. Es decir que unicamente aprovecharon la situacion para GANAR DINERO SIN PRESTAR EL SERVICIO acogiendose en la politica de booking lo que es completamente legal pero dada la circunstancia no es mas que una descabellada y falta de empatia de parte de su gerente. NO RECOMENDABLE, porque mas alla de TODO NO TIENEN CALIDAD HUMANA y su SERVICIO EN PAUPERRIMO

Een mooi hotel om een paar daagjes te vertoeven.

Uitgebreid ontbijt met koud en warm buffet, personeel zeer vriendelijk de locatie was uitstekend. Handig is om de Uber app te downloaden, voor een paar dollar zit je zo ergens en betrouwbaar. Zo ook van en naar het vliegveld gedaan. Perfect. Ook zijn er een paar leuke rooftop terrassen in de buurt met geweldig uitzicht naar de skyline.

Niets alles was prima

A comfortable spot with a touch of opulence - and an exceptionally friendly team.

We had a lovely stay here - the staff were particularly helpful and friendly, the breakfasts were delicious and the overall experience was relaxing and luxurious. The hotel is in the heart of Casco Viejo, which meant we were able to walk to some of the beautiful historic sites.

For trips outside of the immediate area, staying at the hotel does involve some reliance on taking taxis/Ubers, as the public transport connections to the modern parts of the city aren’t so strong. It is also a little hit and miss whether the rooms are quiet, as some of them directly overlook the main square, and the historic style of the building means sound does travel between areas of the hotel.

Beautiful historical hotel in the middle of Casco Viejo

Every person I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and kind. The location couldn’t be more perfect - in the middle of everything. My bed was so comfortable and a welcome reprieve after a long day of travel.

The shower is half open - no door to enclose the shower. I’ve noticed this in many hotels lately, not sure if it’s a new aesthetic or cost saving measure, but it is a little annoying. No matter how careful I try to be, water gets everywhere and the bath mat is soaked. It’s not the end of the world, just wish it was set up better to not get water everywhere. Of course, housekeeping does take care of the water when cleaning daily.

Bad breakfast, wrong room provided.

The lobby is beautiful

Property did not give me the expensive junior suite I booked but rather a double room. Needed to go to front desk to sort out and didn’t offer and upgrade or anything for the inconvenience. Breakfast was not high quality.

Fabulous Location in olde world style.

Great location and comfortable room and bed. The decor is updated but retaining the olde world charm of the building. We had the best view looking directly at the beautiful church. Love the little balcony. Breakfast was very satisfying with a good select. We are gluten free and they provided GF Toast.

Rooms are a bit smaller than expected. Of you are a light sleeper you maybe effected by the church bells which ring hourly. They do stop at 11pm-6am.

The location is great, very quiet around but at a walking distance of restaurants and bars. Very safe around because the government palace is near the hotel, and there is tons of police. Safest place in Panama

beautiful place but with minor flaws

the location is very nice if you want to see colonial architecture. the hotel itself is beautiful with fantastic rooms

breakfast only buffet type ($20 per person) and nothing à la carte. the shower flooded the bathroom and when I informed the front office I was told all rooms had the same problem. I was flabbergasted

Lovely Historic Hotel with nice amenities and restaurant but the rooms can be NOISY!

The restaurant & F&B Manager Raimundo Chen were great! Had a wonderful dinner. Breakfast with cooked-to-order eggs or omelets was excellent other that rolls didn't seem fresh. Hotel is well-maintained, historic and well-decorated.

There was no small change available at the front desk. In fact, we were told to go to the mini-market for that. They wouldn't give us change Our room, altho, nicely appointed, was over a street in the back of the hotel and TERRIBLY NOISY!! In the evening at bedtime, there was people outside talking loudly but even worse the noise from people talking loudly started at 5:15am both days!

Beautiful hotel in the heart of Casco Viejo

The room had a very nice balcony overlooking Casco Viejo, the location was central and we enjoyed the pool. The hotel itself has a very nice decor and the atmosphere inside with the guitarist playing is just very calm and pleasant. The pool staff was very nice and helpful. We booked the hotel for 4 nights but due to exceptional circumstances we had to change it to 1 night and the Manager allowed us to reschedule for free which we are very grateful for.

This is a very atmospheric hotel but could do with some refurbishment, especially in the bathrooms in the rooms. For breakfast we got very old bread that was so hard that it was impossible to even bite it. I have mixed feelings about the staff working at the reception, because on the one hand the Manager was extremely helpful and very nice, but the rest of the staff working at the reception were incompetent. The first time I met two different people working at the front desk and both were not doing a good job. The receptionist who checked us in was not a nice person, she seemed to have done her job and wanted us to leave. On the second day we wanted to have a late check out and waited 1 hour in our room for a call back from the receptionist and when we went to the desk a second time to check for an update she didn't even remember us, only after going to the desk for the third time did we get a response from manager that it won't be a problem. For me, this is an unacceptable experience for a 5 star hotel.

great location but be careful of false or hidden charges

Hotel was great and would recommend again.

My wife and I had a coffee in the morning (no food) and the cost was in excess of $25.00 US dollars. Very bad misrepresentation of the breakfast option

Decent place to stay for a few days in Panama City.

Lovely colonial style building in a fantastic location for exploring the old town. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Taxi service available at the front desk. Clean and comfortable room; comfortable bed. Breakfast was fairly good - buffet style, lots available. Small rooftop pool with nice view. Restaurant food was ok but only ate there one. Lots on offer nearby. Overall a good value and comfortable place to stay for a few days.

Room looked out into inner courtyard, overlooked by restaurant and could be noisy if trying to get an early night. But not all rooms are like this.

Ideally located hotel..

The location is phenomenal. All the good shopping spots, restaurants, squares are within walking distance. Staff at the reception were very courteous and helpful.

The view from the room was not very nice. We noticed a bit of racial discrimination which was disconcerting. We were asked to move into a conference room kind of a place for breakfast when there were tables available at the main breakfast venue

I love the location, but the accommodations don't quite match the price.

The staff were really helpful and the hotel's appearance as you enter is really elegant.

Temperature control in the room was not working, and there was a washcloth stuffed into the vent that was left by housekeeping.
