10/10 Exceptional

Arrived late in evening. Staff greeted us and helped us to our room. Room was as advertised. Loved the artwork throughout the hotel. Rooftop bar offered lovely views, good food and drinks, and fun entertainment. Only note for other travelers is there was very limited hot water for showering. Looking forward to staying again on our next trip to/thru Panama City.

8/10 Very good

I would stay here again. There were no chairs in my room, and the central light was burned out. So I didn’t get any work done in my room, but the AC was cold, the food was good, and the staff was friendly. The rooftop bar is noisy, but the AC helped mask the sound.

Super hip boutique hotel. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Some of our best food in Panama City and prices were great. Loved the roof top bar. It is noisy with car horns and dance parties but they provide free earplugs. 100% would go back.

8/10 Very good

Super hotel, big room, nice breakfast, very hip. Only thing in our experience that was negative is the loud aircondition which is not possible to turn down unless you power it off, we therefore slept with earbuds.

I loved my room but there was a smell similar to mold and I had to keep the balcony door opened. Now; the fact that I had a balcony was amazing. Other than that I had a great stay!

Really funky hotel in great location in Panama’s old town. Surrounded by colonial buildings, shops and views. Cathedral and canal history museum. Tantalo is famous for its rooftop bar which serves great cocktails, has an amazing view and loud music to 3am which does reach the rooms to some extent.

6/10 Good

Staff was friendly, location is great, and it's nice being in the hotel were the rooftop bar is but the wifi was so bad I had to go to another hotel just to get my work done. As a remote worker, that's a deal breaker.
