Nothing to add: just perfect. Great staff aswell at the reception as in the bar. Rooftop is great and only that part is a reason to book this hotel. Reception staff is acceptional, and totally not-panama-like. Friendly, at your service, good looking and speak englisch very well. Rooms are huge: like a ball room. One minor detail: no idea how...

We stayed at the Hotel Tantalo over New Years. Located in Casca Viejo, this hotel is an excellent place to stay in order to explore the surrounding area and a short but continuously variable taxi cost to the downtown area. Room was spacious and clean. The entire staff was very welcoming and friendly. The included breakfasts were tasty and filling... More

I only stayed here one night but enjoyed my stay very much. The room was very large with a wonderful balcony. The bed was extremely comfortable. The location was excellent for walking around in the historic area. The view from the rooftop bar was fantastic. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

We will echo all of the other comments about the hip and trendy vibe of Tantalo. Our room was very spacious with balconies overlooking all of the activity on the narrow streets below. And boy, is there a lot of activity! It seemed that about every third car that passed at night was a new Range Rover, Porche or Audi.... More

Great staff, great location, great food, cool original rooms which are massive and a wicked roof bar. It's just a really cool, well put together hotel in the best part of town. It lacks a pool which would make it really stand out but I'm just nitpicking. Oh and great breakfasts! Try the Panamanian steak and eggs concoction... Epic!!

I only visited the rooftop bar - a must see in Casco Antiguo. Went on a Tuesday evening for drinks around 10pm, and it had the right amount of people – I overheard that It can get very crowded on weekends. The views are wonderful, combined with the warm weather, the breeze, and the bar lights, makes it a must... More

This is a hip boutique hotel with lively restaurant, bar, roof bar overlooking the city and large rooms each decorated by a different local artist. The staff could not have been more accommodating in helping with restaurant suggestions and reservations and arranging taxis and drivers. Bring your earplugs as sometimes street noise or noise from the bar might be an... More

Tantalo is undeniably stylish and buzzing, but the Saturday night party on the rooftop bar made it impossible to get any sleep before 3 am (and I live in Manhattan, so I am not unaccustomed to street noise). Aside from the thump of club music late into the night, Tantalo has a lot to recommend it: huge, stylish rooms with... More

Apparently, this is the place to be in Casco Viejo. You can tell by the constant activity on the street below as you spy from above, from the balcony of your room, while sipping a Balboa. It feels very special to be a guest in this tony hotel, with its very special restaurant (good, too!) and roof-top possibilities. The staff... More
