A phenomenal experience!

We were on a trip for a vacation and to visit Panama for the first time. At lot of things about this hotel are great: the location, the amenities, the people and the presentation. We would DEFINITELY not only visit Panama City again, but also book this hotel again. Thanks to everyone of the hotel staff for making this a very memorable first time visit for us. God bless you all!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I chose to stay at this property to experience the local culture, but unfortunately, the customer service was awful. It felt like the staff was taking advantage of non-Spanish speakers at every opportunity. For example, I ordered a margarita at the restaurant, which was listed as $10 on the menu. When the bill arrived, it was $25 for a small whiskey glass. I paid it and called the front desk to ask for an explanation about the discrepancy. I was told someone would call me back, but no one ever did. Additionally, the room had a strong sewage smell, and the same issue was present in the lobby. I overheard another guest also complaining about his room at the front desk. We called about our own room issue, and although someone was supposed to come, no one ever did. On top of that, we were told at the front desk there was a party for $135. When we went to pay, the price had inexplicably jumped to $157. I was also promised a different location for the party, but when we went downstairs, we were placed in a secluded area beneath the stairs. Ultimately, we decided to check out early and stayed at the W for our final two nights. The difference was like night and day. We’re trying to get a refund for the two nights, but they’re making it tough.

Central Hotel Panamá is perfectly located in Casco Viejo surrounded by the beauty of the local architecture. Lots of great nearby locations to eat including restaurants on site. The hotel is warm and inviting with a spa aroma that greets you as you travel throughout. I would highly recommend a stay here.
