There is piano or background music playing 24 hours a day, which makes it very difficult to sleep. Every morning, live music begins as early as 8:00 a.m. For this reason, I will not be returning.

This property has a beautiful lobby and that’s it . The rooms are tiny and basic . The towels were old and thin as paper . The toilet needed to be replaced . The bathroom renovation was poorly done . The linen was stale ! Just a NO NEVER AGAIN !! Also when I checked in no one offered to help with my luggage.

The property is in an excellent location literally in the middle of everything! The food was good and room service was fast. There are a few minor maintenance issues they need to address and i think a premium room should come with a balcony. But i would recommend it if you want to explore the area and enjoy food in the area as well

Central Hotel Stay

Excellent Hotel. Centrally located in the Casco Viejo / Historic District of Panama City. Pianist or Cellist in the lobby most days - - so nice soft live music. Didn't try the hotel restaurant because there are so many interesting restaurants within 5 min walking distance. Only partial negative is thin walls - so you do here stuff of the adjacent rooms
