Great location, friendly and helpful staff, very spacious room, very clean, Great breakfast because we could order straight from the in-house restaurant’s menu. Would definitely stay again.
What a great “boutique style” hotel.
Great lobby, fantastic restaurant, great food, and coffee. They even had a DJ during the day in the restaurant.
The rooms are colorfully and tastefully decorated and very spacious.
The rooftop bar has an amazing 270° view and even has an even higher perch with a 360° view.
Lastly, the location is fantastic in the old city & close to everything
Would definitely stay there again
Overall, we had a great stay. The location was very central and made getting around easy, especially with convenient Uber pickups. The hotel was clean, lively, and a great value for the price. The food and drinks were also high quality. We honestly didn’t spend much time eating or drinking at the hotel, but that had nothing to do with the quality. We just wanted to get out and explore as much of the city as possible. Overall, a great place to stay and we’d definitely recommend it.
Good location with plenty to see and do within easy and safe walking distance.

Super hotel, big room, nice breakfast, very hip. Only thing in our experience that was negative is the loud aircondition which is not possible to turn down unless you power it off, we therefore slept with earbuds.
Very central location to nightlife and all the tourist attractions. Open-air vibes and rooms were very spacious. Noise wasn't as bad as we were expecting. Super nice staff as well.
I loved my room but there was a smell similar to mold and I had to keep the balcony door opened. Now; the fact that I had a balcony was amazing. Other than that I had a great stay!

Unique breakfast offerings. Good location for shopping and sight seeing. Everything within walking distance.
Really funky hotel in great location in Panama’s old town. Surrounded by colonial buildings, shops and views. Cathedral and canal history museum.
Tantalo is famous for its rooftop bar which serves great cocktails, has an amazing view and loud music to 3am which does reach the rooms to some extent.
Amazing stay at Tantalo hotel: great location, near restaurants, bars, walkable area, pop-art style of the room, large room, amazing view from the rooftop
Staff was friendly, location is great, and it's nice being in the hotel were the rooftop bar is but the wifi was so bad I had to go to another hotel just to get my work done. As a remote worker, that's a deal breaker.
