We loved our stay at Casco Viejo. If I had to recommend one thing, the shower did not have a door and the bathroom pretty much flooded every time you showered. Very inconvenient and a bear to dry it all up. Waste of clean towels.

The ambiance is superb along with the helpful and courteous staff. We were right in the heart of Casco Viejo and spent the day walking the streets and seeing the many refurbished buildings. We are at nearby restaurants Pisco and Mariano that was notable for its Peruvian cuisine. The hotel breakfast buffet had a great selection of delicious food.

Central Hotel Panama is situated in the beautiful and historic Casco Viejo area. The hotel is situated in a great location with quick walks to many cathedrals, plazas, monuments, shopping, and gorgeous vistas of the Bay and the city. The hotel arranged airport transportation and tours. The restaurants served various menu options, and the food was good. The staff was friendly and attentive. Overall a great experience and would like to stay again soon.

This hotel is in the Center of Casco Viejo. You can easily walk around this area. Front desk is very helpful and kind. Most of the staff spoke good English. The room was standard, but needed a comfortable chair to lounge .Beds were comfy. Coffee is the room did not have sugar or cream. You.had to special order these. Hotel food was okay,but not worth the price. Lots of really good,less expensive places close to hotel. Location and staff were wonderful!

Great place to stay!! Highly recommend. Staff was very accommodating and Premium Room was very comfortable and the king size bed was incredibly comfortable. Our room was on the Central Square and you can hear the church bell and sometimes music but earplugs can fix that.
