Where to stay in Panama City

My favourite store in Casco Viejo by far! It sells #colorful Kuna handmade products and the owner of the gallery is a very kind lady, who even allowed me to visit her place outside working hours.

"This hotel was very clean. There are three restaurants in it. The food was excellent. I had to call the housekeeping staff several times to get a laundry bag. I had to call Reception to get the hand soap and shower gel replaced when both obviously needed a refill."

Panama City is almost like a small US city, some areas are rundown others are gleaming. I felt safe in most areas, taxi drivers are like sellers, always advertising their service.
