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.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay in this hotel. There was a lot of noise but it didn’t bother us as much. The room was spacious, and the bed was comfy. The only complaint we have is that the food options and flavor are lacking in the menu

Perfect IF you like to party till the early hours or if you are a heavy sleeper. Music is PUMPING till 2am weekdays and till 4am from Thursday for weekends. If I was 15 years younger this would be a great higher end alternative to staying in stay in.

Ótima opção em Casco Antigo

O quarto é confortável e espaçoso. Café da manhã muito bom. Tem ótima localização no Casco Antigo. O bar no rooftop é agradável, divertido e oferece uma vista bonita.

Very caring front desk staff=Nashda, Jose, and Caroline. Octopus is excellent in dining room. Very comfortable bed. Never met management team for a welcome drink. They, somehow, wish to have loud music until 2-4a.m. in top floor viewing area. They even pass out earplugs for this ill-advised decision.

Loved this hotel, spacious and large room, staff was incredibly helpful and pleasant and very accomodating. Super fun bar on rooftop with great views of city and restaurant in lobby. In the middle of old town with bars and restaurants, stores and cafes. It's not a quiet hotel so up to you if this is for you or not.

Never stay at Tantalo if you want to sleep at nigh

The hotel's rooftop bar is open until 4:00 a.m., loud music, screaming crowd, and the management's reluctance to stop this nightmare, makes the stay at this hotel a torment.

Here’s a draft for your review: ⸻ I had the most incredible birthday weekend at Hotel TANTALO in Panama! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay special—they are truly the most amazing people I’ve ever encountered in any hotel. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care made my birthday celebration extra memorable. The atmosphere, the service, and the overall vibe of Hotel TANTALO are simply unmatched. I can’t recommend this place enough to anyone looking for an exceptional hotel experience. Thank you to the entire team for making my birthday weekend so perfect! ⸻
