Top Independence Square Hotel Reviews

Magnolia Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place in such a great area!"

Central Hotel Panama Casco Viejo

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our stay in one of the family rooms. The hotel is beautiful and well maintained. The breakfast was really good. The only reason I did not rate 5 star was that the air conditioning control was not working well and the room was really cold. The staff was very friendly."

Hotel San Felipe

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing! Everything was very clean! Loved this boutique hotel! The location in the heart of Casco Viejo is perfect! Easy to walk all over Casco Viejo (although many of the sidewalks are very old and uneven so you have to watch where you’re walking while also enjoying the sites). Numerous restaurants, ice cream shops, souvenir shops and vendors, even a dedicated gluten free restaurant Celikateses for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Google self-guided walking tour of Casco Viejo and make sure to stop at the church with the world’s largest nativity scene! Everyone was very friendly and we would definitely return to Hotel San Felipe!"
