Staff was very friendly, all of our needs were met. Service exceeded our expectations. The room was comfortable and excellent King bed. Even though the Expedia booking said "balcony," they put us in a inner courtyard room that was much quieter than the balcony rooms facing the street. The 50" Samsung flat screen TV had free Netflix, and the room had a Nespresso machine (extra capsules were provided upon request). I would only point out one caveat for the property management: the water pressure was not very strong in the beautiful shower. It was adequate for bathing but some folks might find it lacking. Overall, this was an excellent place for our first visit to Panama City. We enjoyed the hotel restaurant (La Enemiga), but our preference was to walk a few blocks to the Mercado San Felipe Neri, where the local residents eat (huge platters of delicious food for $3 USD!). The location is outstanding for exploring the Casco Viejo (Casco Antigua) area.

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.
