The only complaint we have is the price they charged us for a take-out breakfast the day we left very early for a Canal tour. $30 per person!! For yogurt and granola and a croissant that was so stale we couldn't bite it. They comped us $10 each for the croissants, but if they had explained their pricing at the time we would have chosen to find food on our own.

Review for the Hotel San Felipe, Old Panama City I had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Hotel San Felipe at the beginning of my Panama adventure. The location is second to none, nestled in the heart of Old Panama City. It’s incredibly walkable, allowing you to easily explore the beautiful historic buildings, delightful restaurants, and vibrant entertainment spots. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly greeted by Rommel, whose professionalism and excellent English made me feel right at home. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the attentive service; my bags were promptly taken care of, and I was personally escorted to my spotless room. The attention to detail was remarkable, and I even had a lovely shaded courtyard outside my room, perfect for escaping the intense sun or finding shelter during rain. Throughout my stay, Kimberly and Maria also went above and beyond, making sure I felt comfortable and well cared for. When I returned to the hotel later in my trip, even without a reservation, they remembered me and warmly accommodated me like family. I highly recommend the Hotel San Felipe and will definitely be returning on my next trip to Panama. I’ll also be recommending it to my family and friends.

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel San Felipe and would happily recommend it to anyone staying in Casco Viejo. The location is excellent — right in the heart of the historic district, making it easy to walk to plazas, churches, cafés, and restaurants, while still feeling calm and comfortable. The staff were consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and made me feel at ease as a solo traveler. My room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable — a great place to relax after full days of exploring Panama City. I especially appreciated how well maintained everything felt. Overall, Hotel San Felipe offers a great combination of location, comfort, and warm hospitality. It was a lovely base for exploring Casco Viejo, and I would absolutely stay here again.
