9/10 Wonderful! (1,007 reviews)
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!

9.8/10 Exceptional! (30 reviews)
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!
