I had a wonderful stay at Hotel San Felipe and would happily recommend it to anyone staying in Casco Viejo. The location is excellent — right in the heart of the historic district, making it easy to walk to plazas, churches, cafés, and restaurants, while still feeling calm and comfortable. The staff were consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and made me feel at ease as a solo traveler. My room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable — a great place to relax after full days of exploring Panama City. I especially appreciated how well maintained everything felt. Overall, Hotel San Felipe offers a great combination of location, comfort, and warm hospitality. It was a lovely base for exploring Casco Viejo, and I would absolutely stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very disappointing stay due to misleading room photos and descriptions. The room I received did not correspond at all to what was advertised. I booked a standard room that was supposed to include a king-size bed and a balcony. Instead, I was given a room with a full-size bed and only a window, no balcony. The photos show a much larger room with enough space for a sofa at the end of the bed, but the actual room was extremely small—there was no way a sofa could fit, and there was barely any space to place luggage. It felt cramped and uncomfortable. The bathroom was another major issue. There was no privacy whatsoever: the glass door was very transparent and had a large gap between the door and the frame. There was also no space to hang towels or place toiletries. The bathroom was unbelievably small, even smaller than what you’d find on a cruise ship. I contacted the property immediately after entering the room, first through WhatsApp and then in person at the lobby. Unfortunately, neither employee offered a refund or a real solution. I was told the hotel was fully booked and that no other rooms were available. Hours later, they mentioned that a room had become available due to a cancellation, but by then I had already opened my bags and didn’t want to move, especially since I was only staying one night and wanted to quickly go out and see what the area had to offer. Instead, I wasted at least two hours going back and forth with staff, which completely ruined my only evening
You can easily see the person inside the bathroom.

Lobby was warm and inviting. Our room was spotless. Shower pressure was great and air conditioner worked wonderfully. Front desk staff awesome… Alexandra is a gem. Aevar and Rommel were awesome and super helpful to us when we needed printouts etc. Only minor thing is the bed is a tad hard for our liking and the room could use and extra trash bin. Otherwise it’s a perfect place to stay in casco viejo

A lovely place. Staff at the front desk was welcoming and very helpful in answering questions about the city. Our room was clean and the bathroom felt like a little spa. Perfectly located minutes (by foot) from anything to do in Casco viejo. We really enjoyed our stay and would go back.

The front desk team was amazing!! Immediately opened doors for us, helped us pack suitcases to the room, answered all type of questions. They always had a smile on their faces. We were in room 202 which was more than comfortable for the two of us. Location was fabulous. We were able to walk everywhere in Casco Viejo and down to the light festival at the park on the water front. Felt very safe the entire time. Across the street was a rooftop restaurant with a 360 degree view of the area. They served delicious food and drinks. We would definitely return to this hotel again.
