Perfect spot in the heard of Panama City

Magnolia Inn was the perfect place for us to stay while in Panama City. Centrally located in the heart of Casco Viejo, it is near great restaurants, tours, etc. The hot shower was glorious, especially after coming back from San Blas Islands still sticky from sunblock and sand. We loved having the common areas, especially the kitchen, to keep our leftovers and save some money on meals. I would definitely go back there next time I’m in Panama!

We really enjoyed staying in the heart of the old town in such clean and modern feeling to our room, newly renovated accommodations with very clean bedding and pillows, working modern AC , variety of restaurants walking distance, as well as so much to do and see in terms of museums close by walking distance!

It was noisy at night. I was a light sleeper. On second day, the staff on duty at night offered a quiet room for me. It was very nice of them willing to do that.
