During a morning rain, my room was leaking water in large amounts. Enough to wake me up at 5:30 , pack and depart.

Loved this hotel, spacious and large room, staff was incredibly helpful and pleasant and very accomodating. Super fun bar on rooftop with great views of city and restaurant in lobby. In the middle of old town with bars and restaurants, stores and cafes. It's not a quiet hotel so up to you if this is for you or not.

Enjoyed the unique decor and design of the property. Spacious room and comfortable bed created a welcoming space for resting.
The rooftop bar was a plus with the friendly staff made my stay quite enjoyable. Casco Viejo area has a high police presence making you feel very safe.

The hotel's rooftop bar is open until 4:00 a.m., loud music, screaming crowd, and the management's reluctance to stop this nightmare, makes the stay at this hotel a torment.

Love this hotel! Located in the heart of Costa Viejo with restaurants and shops all around. The hotel offers fine dining on the first floor and also a rooftop bar with magnificent views of Panama City. Best of all is the spacious, decorative room with authentic artwork.Stunning, to say the least! There's even a balcony to sit and soak in the city. Highly recommend staying here.

I had the most incredible birthday weekend at Hotel TANTALO in Panama! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay special—they are truly the most amazing people I’ve ever encountered in any hotel. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care made my birthday celebration extra memorable.
The atmosphere, the service, and the overall vibe of Hotel TANTALO are simply unmatched. I can’t recommend this place enough to anyone looking for an exceptional hotel experience. Thank you to the entire team for making my birthday weekend so perfect!

very noisy location with after hours rooftop club but location is ideal to see the old city.

It is a bit loud at night with music from the rooftop patio. We were warned and provided earplugs.
David

We were escorted to our room after we checked in to confirm there were no issues with our room. The Day Dreaming room was wonderful which had a balcony overlooking the street. It was a bit noisy with the bar below and the rooftop bar but that did not bother us. They do provide earplugs in the room but we did not need them.
The service, food and drinks were excellent.
There were many shops, restaurants and bars just steps away from the hotel. It is also near the cruise port for Norwegian.
This was an excellent pick for our overnight stay before our cruise.

This was our second time here and 5 years ago was the first time. We were a little disappointed this time.
The hotel felt a but run down compared to what I was remembering and expecting.
Staff were great, and location and rooftop are amazing but the rooms and common areas felt like they needed small repairs or updates and that it had been neglected.

Great location in the old quarter. Fun roof top patio and the service and food in the restaurant was excellent.
