    The hotel's location was incredible and wonderful, just a short walk away from the Presidential Palace. It was a short walk to many beautiful squares, Casco Viejo in Panama, and amazing restaurants. - Our room had a comfy bed and an absolutely stunning view.

    The hotel is in a fantastic location, right in the heart of the old town. We were surrounded by great restaurants and bars, making it easy to find a delicious meal for our family. The view from our room was stunning, overlooking a beautiful square. We also enjoyed the peaceful garden area, perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring.

    It would have been nice to have more seating options available for guests to enjoy.
