We reserved the Penthouse C at Magnolia and were delighted. The hotel is located in the middle of historic Casco Viejo with immediate access to a variety of restaurants, the fish market and historic sites. The penthouse is located on the top floor of the hotel with views across the rooftops of the Panama City skyline and the Cathedral. The room had all of the things we needed for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was not provided but there were many good and reasonably priced restaurants within a block or two of the hotel. The staff was very helpful. If we were to return to Panama, we would definitely book a penthouse room at Magnolia once again.

The room was really big, functional, and clean! No AC, maybe due to only 3 guests at the night, but it was completely fine cause there was natural wind blowing from windows and a powerful fan. I dont like a sealed dorm room with AC so the night was really comfortable. And friendly staff, nice guests and nice location! It was really good stay!

An Inside Look at Magnolia Inn

The Magnolia Inn is located in the heart of Casco Viejo, steps away from the Metropolitan Cathedral and Independence Plaza. It is a short walk from everything Casco Viejo has to offer. The Inn was built just after the turn of the century and no money was spared at the time of construction. You'll find an original marble staircase, ornate ceilings, and curved balconies that we've saved and restored to their prior grandeur. There are multiple levels of hotel rooms to suit various budgets. The Penthouse offers unparalleled views with King beds and extra space to stretch out and relax. Our Family floor offers 2 Queen Beds per room, and our Mezzanine floor offers a single Queen Bed per room. Each of the rooms are individually decorated with quality furnishings and linens. Additionally, there is a grand sitting room with American TV channels and several comfortable sofas to lounge and enjoy a drink and conversation with other guests from around the world. There is a place for everyone at the Magnolia Inn!

Shame that some people don’t understand the need to keep windows shut when the a/c is on. And don’t seem to understand the problem with dengue in cities.
Beautiful colonial building. A rabbit warren of room choices. Great social area and a nice balcony to chill on. The staff were superb. Unobtrusive but there if you needed them. The 10 bed dorm was spacious and comfortable, with secure lockers.

Could have been cleaner The 12 bed room wasn't full (which was nice) but because of that they didn't turn the ac on..offered to change into other room with ac though! But in the 12 bed dorm every bed has its own ventilator, so the temperature was fine, just noisy
Service was nice, espacially the guy at the reception with glasses and a light beard was extraordinary nice Everything else is like the other comments say, Looks Like on the pictures
