recently stayed at Hotel San Felipe and had a really pleasant experience. The location is great—close to the action in Casco Viejo and just a short ride from other key areas in the city. It made exploring Panama City super convenient. The staff was friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with anything I needed. My room was clean, the air conditioning worked well (a must in Panama’s heat), and I appreciated the simple, cozy vibe. The building itself has character, and I loved the local charm that gave it a more authentic feel than some of the bigger chain hotels.

Overall, it's a good choice. Good location. Very clean. Pretty quiet. Reception/lobby staff were friendly and helpful. Two things I rated less...the wait staff for the breakfast bar was a little less than optimal. (Dinner staff was great.) Bathroom -- Shower water did not get more than lukewarm. Wall facing hotel room was only slightly frosted glass. Able to fairly readily see the other occupant sitting on the toilet or undressing if light in bathroom was on, even if lights were on in hotel room.
