Corcho Rooms

Comfortable and unique Love this little hotel. Initially had an issue with the AC in our room. It was resolved and we enjoyed our stay.

The property is centrally located in the old town of Panama City called Casco Viejo. Property is nice and small, and the rooms are located above the wine bar. Our room was small with the shower and the sink in the room with no rack for hanging the clothes. But Emilio, the manager was very nice and provided us with the rack to hang our clothes. Also, there is no safe in the room.

Great location and enjoyed our stay

Perfect for me as solo traveler, at the old town and paid less than big fancy hotel, it is loud because the night club, but that's what happened in panama city, it will stop after 1 or 2, depend if its weekend or not, many choices for food, also cheap option, i try the local fast food chain call Pio Pio Chicken, it is better than KFC in Pansma city, and its open 24hr, less than 10 min walk.

Property is at a very good location, staff went above and beyond. Rooms are self service with codes and easily accessible. Elevator is nice too. I do think the bar right on the second floor too loud music. If you looking to staying in Casco Viejo and party this is the place. If you looking to sleep early to catch a taxi this is not the place for you. For me they were good.

The property had very stylish, if quirky, interior-design features that would look attractive in an avant-garde minimalistic way in magazine photos. Each room was different and had its own issues. Closet space was not provided in two of the rooms where we stayed, and it was hard to line up toiletries in the bathroom or even find convenient places to hang your towels. Our first night a smoke detector set off accidentally, triggering screaming fire alarms. Since there is no staff on the premises, it took an hour for the manager to come in from home to shut off the alarm. It was not easy to get extra towels or pillows after leaving messages. We came back after taking a side trip, and the second room we rented had a malfunctioning lock that kept us locked out of our room for 3-4 hours until a locksmith had to remove the actual door knob. We could still lock our room using the dead-bolt, and we felt relatively secure. But for the rest of the stay there was a hole in the door where the door knob used to be. We noted that another guest also had trouble getting into her room due to lock issues. Two floors below, there was a disco dance joint that blasted out extremely loud music way past midnight and we had to have the manager called to complain about this. On our last day, the elevator stopped working for several hours but luckily service was restored before morning. The worst issue was the lack of staff on premises with the exception of daytime cleaning ladies. Won't be returning.
