10/10 Exceptional

Hotel at the heart of Old Town
The hotel's main appeal is the location, right at the main plaza of the Old Town and also its historic, elegant look. Inside, the hotel has a feel of a big mansion from the XIX century. Panama City's Old Town is relatively small, so you can walk all over it in no time. The breakfast is a buffet and was fine.

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.
