Pros (+) Staff, location, everything
Cons (-) We went there for our 45th anniversary and they treated us like king and Queen. Thank you Roberto at the front desk for putting us to an exceptional room. Thank you Kayla my sweet concierge for her assistance to picking the best places to go in Panama.

Anandhi, May 2025
Pros (+) This was an absolutely beautiful hotel with charming touches throughout. Our room was spacious and the view from the balcony was amazing. We had coffee in the morning on the balcony. Breakfast was delicious. Staff throughout the hotel were attentive and wonderful (special mention to Jesus and Gerrardo and Yazit and other staff at the restaurant). The whole area of Casco Viejo is beautiful and the ...

Cetareh, Apr 2025
Pros (+) More appearance than substance. There is a clear difference in how guests are treated. Not everything is communicated or shown upfront, especially if you're not booking the premium option – such as with a standard or discounted rate. Check-in was problematic: long waiting times, no assistance, and everything had to be done independently – definitely not the 5-star service one would expect. The sam...

Jeanette, Apr 2025
Pros (+) I enjoyed the restaurant, and the wonderful customer service. The staff was extremely accommodating.
Cons (-) I didn't like the restroom. It's an older hotel and the bathroom stall could use an upgrade. The bathroom has an unpleasant smell. Staff scrubbed the floors and still there is a musky scent. The bathroom pipes and fixtures are old and the bathroom floors should be replaced.

Pros (+) My stay at Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo in Panama City was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a level of service that truly lives up to the “Legend” name. The hotel itself is stunning—blending historic charm with modern elegance. My room was impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and offered breathtaking views of the ocean and city sky...

Joan, Apr 2025
Pros (+) Everything about the hotel was amazing! Great location, great staff, the room was perfection, the food was delicious, the view from our balcony was exactly as hoped for and the pool was heaven. We couldn't have wished for more.
Cons (-) We LOVED the hotel and everything about our stay, but departure was confusing. At our noon check-out, we ordered to cab for 3 p.m. to our next stop. When we came back to catch the cab, we had no problem retrieving our bags, but were given conflicting information about where to wait for the cab. Only on the third inquiry, did we finally find that nothing we had been told was correct and that it had...
