The staff was excellent, the hotel is new and comfortable. Heated tiles in the bathroom. East part is that it has a central location and excellent soundproofing so you sleep soundly in the middle of the action. I cancelled another hotel and ate a penalty fee to stay here longer, it was that good.

Extremely impressed by everything about this hotel. Clean, great location, good size room and bathroom. Service was great and much better than most properties in Panama. The restaurant Enemigo was amazing. San Felipe is my go-to property now in Casco Viejo and I highly recommend it.

The staff at this property is amazing! They are extremely thoughtful and attentive. The rooms are the perfect size and can fit all your belongings and people. The bed is comfy and the bathrooms are HUGE. The only knock is that the internet is pretty bad I hope they can sort that in the future. If you need to call home, do work, or stream... It's pretty spotty. But that isn't enough to knock any stars off the property. When I come back to Casco, I'll be staying here again!

A Wonderful Hotel
My stay at the San Felipe was perfect. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, the staff efficient, very friendly and helpful. And the location of the hotel is perfect for exploring the old historic town of Panama City. And although there are a number of restaurants to choose from in the area, be sure to eat at least once at the hotel restaurant, Enigma, because the food was delicious! I highly recommend San Felipe Hotel. And they have other locations in other parts of Panama and Medellin, Colombia. I haven’t tried these, but I’ve no doubt they are equally 5 stars.

Thrilled with hotel
All the workers couldn’t have been more helpful, happy, and accommodating. The hotel was very clean and any amenities we needed they had for us. San Felipe is centrally located but once in your room it is quiet and calm. We were thrilled to be staying here. Best choice!

Excellent location in the old city walkable to lots of restaurants and shops. Very clean, large room and friendly staff. Good price for the room. The hotel in is 2 buildings right across from each other. There is a restaurant and also a rooftop bar. Nice robes in the bathroom but could use towel bars. Only draw back bathroom has frosted sliding door which lights up the whole room at night. Definitely recommend this property.
