Top Independence Square Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Plaza Panama

10/10 Excellent

"The only thing I would have liked was wash clothes in the shower. Only had hand towels which did work. Everything else was excellent."

w* | Sunny Loft in Plaza Catedral

10/10 Excellent

"The room is spotless and the host is very courteous, responsive and helpful. Location is super convenient for us staying Old Town, so many museums and cathedrals are within walking distance. Night music on the street after 11 pm is a little noisy, but the host provides ear plugs, which make our sleep easier. "

Central Hotel Panama Casco Viejo

10/10 Excellent

"Such a beautiful hotel!!! I chose it because of the stair case but was floored when I saw it in person. Gorgeous, peaceful.It was a dream fantasy come to fruition!!! The location perfect. Few feet away from the presidential plaza. There was something happening everyday right outside the hotel all the time. The staff so welcoming, breakfast was delicious. The city the people. I cannot say enough Panama and its people. So welcoming. I will definitely stay there again and longer. It was like staying in a movie. I see why our people move there and why citizens rarely move out this country"
