I had a wonderful stay at Central Hotel Panama! The hotel is historic, beautifully maintained, and exceptionally clean. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, friendly, and consistently reliable—we truly felt welcomed and well cared for. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Casco Viejo and surrounded by vibrant culture, dining, and history. As solo female travelers, we felt completely safe and at ease throughout our stay, both inside and outside the hotel. The ambience of the hotel is elegant yet inviting, with thoughtful touches that reflect the charm of Panama. I especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and attention to detail. I loved staying here and would gladly return—again and again. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a blend of history, comfort, and genuine hospitality in Panama City.
