The facility was very nice and clean. Room was spacious. The things I didn’t like were not the fault of the hotel. Be warned that the upstairs bar is LOUD until very late and then construction in the area is also very loud and starts very early in the morning. There’s also a ton of cabs/ubers honking outside constantly. The hotel does provide earplugs which help. We didn’t eat at the restaurant in the hotel but it’s nice that there is a restaurant on site. The view from the rooftop bar is absolutely stunning, especially at night.

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.

Two issues: First all of the links indicated that parking was available, there was no parking at the hotel, parking lot was 400m away and you had to pay $26 for a night. Second was the concierge was zero help in answering questions and was zero proactive. Reception staff was excellent, courteous, helpful, cheerful, kudos to her.

Alles sehr angenehm, sauber und auch sonst alles okay. Parken ist ein Problem erst wird man von geschaftstuchtigen wird man abgezockt und dann erfährt man das man da nicht parken darf und das Hotel bringt das Fahrzeug auf einen Parkplatz. Soweit so gut, am Morgen bei der Abreise muss man sich das Auto selber holen, da kein Personal da war und man bekommt eine wage Erläuterung wo der Parkplatz ist und dann muss man noch 21,52 Dollar zahlen für 7 stunden abstellen

My stay wasn’t four stars due to the lack of sleep, but I do not want to penalize the hotel for what was not hidden from me in the reviews. The hotel has a rooftop bar that was active until 2:30a Tuesday and Wednesday nights. They state that the room is 70% soundproof, though I suspect it to be less. I am a heavy sleeper and gambled that it would be quiet in the beginning of the week and because I have the ability to fall asleep with noise. Perhaps I may have been able to, but I suspect there is mold somewhere in the room. It wasn’t present to a point that I could smell it, but I am allergic tot mold and was unable to breathe through my nose when exposed to it. The staff were polite. The restaurant and property look nice. Has a nice rooftop bar. And, being in Casca Vieja, the location is great for the price. I recommend this to anyone in their 20s who would be enjoying the night life of Tantalo or other bars/clubs at later hours.

This was our second time here and 5 years ago was the first time. We were a little disappointed this time. The hotel felt a but run down compared to what I was remembering and expecting. Staff were great, and location and rooftop are amazing but the rooms and common areas felt like they needed small repairs or updates and that it had been neglected.

We loved the Tantalo! Our room was amazingly spacious and comfortable. The whole place is full of interesting art - each room has murals and interesting decor. The location is super convenient to everything in Casco Viejo and easy to go into new Panama as well, all on foot. But don’t worry if you don’t want to walk. There are taxis coming by the hotel every 30 seconds! The rooftop bar is fun and the breakfast downstairs is good. The room was clean and had everything we needed. My only complaint is the noise. The rooftop bar has loud music and happy loud people going until 2am on weeknights and 4am on weekends. The taxis honk their horns constantly. It was hard to sleep. Earplugs don’t help. So if you are a partier or a heavy sleeper, this is your place!!! Everyone is really nice.

My wife and I have been staying at TANTALO since 2017 and we have really enjoyed our time there. Some of the amazing things about TANTALO is the fact that the property is all inclusive with a hotel, restaurant and amazing roof top bar experience. My wife enjoy that for the last 7 years, many of the TANTALO staff are still working their. We met Mr. Anyelo who was our waiter from 2017 to 2024 is now considered both a brother to my wife and I. I want to also give a special thanks to additional current and past TANTALO staff. Mr. Lorenzo Robles (GM) was an amazing host to my wife and I. David the awesome Security Guard at nights has always treated my wife and I with VIP treatment. Angie has always been an amazing hostess. Rafael the former TANTALO Rooftop Bar has become a great friend and has always treated my wife and I like VIP Royalty when visiting the rooftop experience. Finally the front desk staff has always made checking in smooth and enjoyable. I am looking forward to our next visit in July or August and know that anyone reading this will have an equally enjoyable TANTALO experience. P.S It's a must to try the Passion Fruit Mohito after checking in a the delicious Watermelon juice after a long day of sightseeing. It's a great hydration drink.

I liked that the rooms were spacious and the interior design was super unique with artistic details throughout the hotel. Location was good with restaurants and attractions within walking distance. Downside was that our room was below the roof top nightclub which raged until 4am and was very loud. Also we asked for car service to the airport and was told a driver would arrive in 15min. After waiting almost an hour we had to flag down a passing taxi to make our flight which we almost missed due to the delay.

Loved the location. Close to absolutely everything.. including subway, Rey’s grocery, restaurants, shopping, transportation & coffee shops. Oh & Ice cream Parlours. Staff were top notch. Very safe & secure hotel. Our room was extremely large, Lots of storage & counter space. It is very loud at night because of all the nightlife, But the hotel provides ear plugs if needed. The noise did not bother us. It goes on till 2 am & 4 am on weekends. It is a fantastic energy place. No pool. The restaurant is so delicious, best chicken my husband & I ever had in our life. All other meals were an amazing experience. It has an amazing roof top bar. The view is fantastic. The drinks are delicious. Didn’t get a chance to eat up there, but the menu looks delicious. Just be aware that your room key is your air condition & lights. So when you leave you pop your card out of the slot & air conditioner & lights shut off. But it only takes about 15 minutes to cool the place down when you return. I would recommend this hotel.
