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.

Good location, nice staff and the view from the rooftop. However the noise was just too much, people screaming into the early hours of the morning. Even earplugs didn’t help. Wouldn’t recommend staying there unless you are planning to party all night or can sleep through the earthquake.

No amenities. No coffee or microwave in room. No pool. Front desk had our reservation but said we hadn’t prepaid which we had and once we showed receipt acted baffled. Said she needed to investigate and get back to us. She never got back to us in the 2 nights we were there. We asked another employee the second day and he said our account showed we had paid. The location was good but expect no amenities and the restaurant doesn’t open for breakfast till 7:30.
