Reviews for Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo
Best hotel in Casco Viejo
Lovely hotel in a great location but what really makes this a wonderful place to stay is the staff. The Guest services and concierge departments are fabulous! We were there for the Ironman triathlon and they helped us coordinate many car services, dinner reservations and even an emergency bike shop visit for a last minute repair. A special shout out to Deslher and Miriel who went above and beyond 5 star service to assist my family and make our stay memorable. I highly recommend Sofitel Legend Casco Viejo . Walkable to most restaurants and bars. Nice pool area , friendly bar to enjoy mid afternoon cocktails and lunch. A daily stop at the coffee shop is a must for fresh brew and pastry with again friendly service. And dinner at Caleta was great!

Sofitel Casco Viejo Stay
We had a fantastic stay at Sofitel Casco Viejo. Set right on the waterfront in the heart of Casco Viejo. The rooms are beautiful, quiet, and very comfortable, and we had an excellent view of the ocean and pool. The pool deck and rooftop areas are standout features, perfect spots for relaxing with cold cervezas or blended drinks while taking in the views. Service was polished and professional, Iveth in the restaurant and Luis on the pool deck were awesome and the overall atmosphere felt upscale yet welcoming. The location is ideal for walking to some of the best restaurants, bars, and historic sites in the old city. Overall, this is one of the most impressive and stylish hotels in Panama City and a great choice for anyone looking for a luxury stay in Casco Viejo.

Personalized Geisha coffee experience
We really enjoyed the geisha coffee experience. Roberto prepared the coffee at our table while he was telling us interesting facts about geisha coffee and what makes it special. Excellent service and a fun experience. Gracias Roberto!

Very nice
We enjoyed this hotel. The concierge, Jaen Miriel was incredibly helpful arranging our tours and airport transfers before our trip. The breakfast was great, especially when we could have it outside. We also loved the roof bar for dinner.
