Great location but poor valet service and noisy
Pros:

Great location, comfortable bed, large shower

Cons:

Valet service was horrible. Car was delivered 1/2 hour late than requested which stressed us out because we had to catch a flight. Construction noise was bothersome. This should have been disclosed or we should have been given a room away from the noise. The hotel was not busy. Terribly slow service at the rooftop bar.

Le meilleur du Casco Viejo
Pros:

L'emplacement est exceptionnel, proche de tout dans le Casco Viejo. Superbe vieux bâtiment, aménagé avec tout le confort actuel.
Chambre super équipée, avec machine Nespresso, produits de toilette,...Air conditionné nickel.
Super rooftop où manger un bout et boire un verre.
Personnel aux petits soins

Cons:

Bon petit déj, varié mais frugal.
Attention, pdj à partir de 7.30 et non 7.00 comme annoncé sur Booking.
Personnel du restau lent et peu coopératif.

Relaxing and easy with everything either within the hotel or nearby.
Pros:

I liked the fact that many rooms open up to the court yard which is also a pleasant place to sit and read. The location was great and an easy walk to parks for coffee and pleasantries and watching the local world. It was clean and the staff were all pleasant and accommodating!! A lovely place to injoy the old city!! Nice rooftop also

Cons:

Nothing!!

Unacceptable room for the price
Pros:

The location and staff were wonderful. Spaces were clean and finishes nice.

Cons:

We were placed in a room across the street, 3rd floor, that had no windows. There were 3 small skylights but the blinds were closed and the remote to open them on the wall, did not work.
It was really depressing to fly all the way to Panama from the US and not know if it was day or night.

We asked multiple times for a different room but were told they were fully booked. I would never have booked this hotel if I thought there was a chance we’d be in a room with no windows.

Great short stay in the nightlife district of Panama
Pros:

Very good location.

Cons:

They had some construction going on but I got a very good deal. But there is hammering during the day in the facility and extensive road work around the hotel, though I can hardly fault the hotel for that. I’m writing in April 2026

Good location, great breakfast
Pros:

Large room with queen beds big enough to sleep 4 comfortably.

Cons:

The first room they offered only had velux windows with shades that didn't open. Near the rooftop bar so you could here the music. They were nice enough to change our room.

Wonder place to stay in Casco Viejo
Pros:

We had a wonderful two night stay at Hotel San Felipe. Everything was top notch, - from the check-in, to the room and the location. It was a four star hotel all the way.
