Amazing stay!!!

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
Barrington, 3-night trip

Love it!
Loved the hotel. Clean, great restaurants on site. A delicious breakfast was included with our stay. The history of the hotel is quite interesting and the location in Casco Vieja can’t be beat.

We had a splendid stay at Central Hotel Panama. The location was perfect for visiting old town. Lots of restaurants and shops in walking distance. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the room was very clean and well appointed. We highly recommend Central Hotel Panama.

The property is centrally located with numerous restaurants in close proximity, numerous historic buildings and museums and all in all its a great hotel

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.

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!
