A unique property full of art, murals and restaurant and rooftop bar.
Pros:

What we liked the most about the hotel is that it wasn’t an ordinary hotel, very boutique, very artsy, and rooms were very spacious. It features a very nice restaurant and bar downstairs and a rooftop patio/bar.

The location is perfect, right in the middle of the old town, close to the beach and promenade. Area is very safe.

We appreciate vey nice and understanding staff ❤️

Cons:

This is subjective, of course, but it was very difficult for us to sleep at night because of the music upstairs. If you are in Panama city for fun and like partying, it is honestly perfect. The rooftop bar is one of the best! But we were a family with a kid, and it was more noisy than we expected, even that we were prepared for the noise. So keep that in mind :)

Bon hôtel
Pros:

Chambre spacieuse et bien décorée, lit king size, emplacement idéal, petit déjeuner très bon.

Cons:

Bruit du rooftop "heureusement" masqué par le bruit de la climatisation. Ils fournissent les boules quies. Attention au vendredi, samedi et dimanche, où le bruit est encore plus présent.

Prima hotel maar de herrie is onacceptabel!!
Pros:

Prima locatie, fijne kamer, lekker bed en heerlijke douche

Cons:

De herrie!!! Niet te doen! Wij sliepen hier op zaterdag en dan is de rooftop bar tot 4 uur open en er stond een dj te draaien. We hebben geen oog dicht gedaan en vonden de combinatie van een hotel met een levendige bar erboven echt niet kunnen!! De oordoppen die het hotel beschikbaar stelt is een leuk gebaar maar houdt de herrie van een dj set niet tegen!

Pros:

The location and the staff couldn’t have been any better.

It can get a little loud at night from the rooftop bar but wear your earplugs and it’s just fine

Staying. At Tantalo was such a welcoming way to start a Panama vacation
Pros:

The location was terrific because we could walk to eateries and dancing

Cons:

We hadn’t heard that the rooftop bar had extended hours so the noise was thumping until 4:00 AM

Pros:

Super zentrale Lage, großes schön eingerichtetes Zimmer, lecker Kaffee, großes Bett.

Cons:

Die wirklich laute Musik in der Nacht, wir hatten bereits die Bewertung gelesen, aber dachten es wird nicht so schlimm sein n. War es aber - muss man wirklich wollen. Musik bis kurz vor 4 Uhr morgens.
