Hotel Casa Panamá

Here's a review based on your experience: *Excellent Location and Service at Hotel Casa Panama* I recently stayed at Hotel Casa Panama, and I was impressed by its excellent location in the heart of the city. The hotel is within walking distance to beautiful churches, delicious restaurants, and the scenic esplanade. The rooms, although small, were clean and well-maintained, with a unique touch - an ancient wall in every room, preserving the UNESCO heritage protection act. The staff, particularly Natalie at reception, were extremely efficient, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She helped me organize a day trip and ensured a smooth stay. The morning coffee in the lobby was a lovely touch. While the hotel excels in many areas, there are a few improvements that would enhance the experience. The water temperature could be warmer, and a dimmer for the aircon LED temperature light would aid sleep. A smaller table would be more practical, and some natural light in the lobby would reduce the dampness and musty smell in the room. Overall, Hotel Casa Panama offers a great blend of history, location, and service. With a few tweaks, it could be an even more enjoyable stay. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap, convenient and authentic experience in Panama City.

It is so loud. I thought I could sleep through anything, but the 5am marching band + fireworks proved me wrong. The rooms & locations were nice, but I would not stay here again without better sound proofing for the rooms. Attached is a video taken at 5:30 am on a Monday (my husband said the music started at 3am and woke him up then, but I was able to sleep through it for a bit)

Unfortunately, our experience at this property was so so unpleasant. The reception staff were incredibly unfriendly and unwelcoming — it genuinely felt more like dealing with prison employees than hospitality professionals. The room itself was in poor condition: it had a strong, unpleasant mold smell and signs of mold in both the bathroom. To make matters worse, there was only cold water available in the showers, and the towels had an unpleasant human odor. One of the most misleading aspects was the lack of windows in most rooms, which is not mentioned anywhere. This, combined with extremely thin walls, meant there was zero privacy — I could hear conversations and phone calls from other rooms as if they were happening in mine. Overall, I strongly advise staying elsewhere. There are better options out there for your comfort and peace of mind; do not ruin your stay in beautiful Panama by staying here.
