San Jose Vacations from $1,184

The bed was fine, but the closet and the floor were quite dirty. There was also an unpleasant smell in my room.

Beautiful hotel, amazing food, and even better staff. Everyone went above and beyond to genuinely make us feel welcome, and you could tell they took a lot of pride in the hotel and their roles. A special thank you to Jose Luis, Victor, Felix, and the rest of the restaurant staff. They were excellent and a big part of what made our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely be staying at Central Hotel again when we’re back in Panama next year. Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend, the service I received was impeccable and just a wonderful experience! I was a bit hesitant regarding the location but once I got there, it turned out to be perfect. The concierge staff was such a pleasure to work with especially ‘Jerry’, who provided recommendations and information. This was such a blessing to us. I would stay here again in a heart beat. It’s a must stay!

Check-in required we provide passport. The water pressure was low and the hot water required multiple plumber visits. Communication was excellent. The bed was the most comfortable ever. Unobstructed views. Location was very convenient to casco square, wholesale district, indoor produce market, massive seafood market and outdoor gym. As well proximity to canal, museums, restaurants etc. Uber got us around, cash with InDrive app is another option. Outdoor night noises were a bit too much at times, they provided ear plugs at the bedside. If we choose to return in the future, I’ll surely need confirmation that the hot water and water pressure have been permanently resolved. No reimbursement has been provided thus far.
