Central Panama hotel was fantastic. Right across from the Herrera Central Park where all kinds of events happen. The hotel is very clean and elegant. Live soft music plays in the lobby every day, wheater a guitar, piano or trumpet players suit the guests ears while they dine or relax. Breakfast buffet is delicious. Staff are very kind, they go out of their way to make sure you have a great stay 😀

Great property in a great location near shops and a stones throw from many attractions. The property is very well maintained, clean, just the right bit of rustic and colonial architecture. Rooms are spacious. Breakfast is fabulous and the breakfast staff are so very attentive. Food is fresh like from farm to table. We definitely enjoyed our stay. This hotel is a gem in Casco Viejo.
