excellent stay in Casco Viejo
Excellent stay in Casco Viejo, perfectly located for us to explore by foot. Fun rooftop bar, nice modern decor. My only complaint is, umm.. well, what's wtih the see-through bathroom door?? Who wants this?? Anyway, that aside, we loved the stay, would definately suggest it to anyone, but beaware, whoever you stay with can watch you in the bathroom.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Hotel San Felipe. We like that everything was within walking distance even for my mom who has limited mobility. The staff were very nice and accommodating. The only issue I had was with the restaurant. The service was horrible and so was the food.

Extremely impressed by everything about this hotel. Clean, great location, good size room and bathroom. Service was great and much better than most properties in Panama. The restaurant Enemigo was amazing. San Felipe is my go-to property now in Casco Viejo and I highly recommend it.

The staff was excellent, the hotel is new and comfortable. Heated tiles in the bathroom. East part is that it has a central location and excellent soundproofing so you sleep soundly in the middle of the action. I cancelled another hotel and ate a penalty fee to stay here longer, it was that good.

Great staff, spacious room with balcony. Great location, convenient to all sites in Casca Viejo. Only downside was condensation on the floors due to the high humidity. To fix had to keep the AC cranked up and it was very cold in the room.
