We (3 Canadians) took the bus from Panama City to San Jose, Costa Rica (Tica Bus)...arrived closer to mid-night; this location is 5 mts walk from Tica Bus Terminal; Check-in was a breeze; very friendly staff; breakfast was included in our package and we enjoyed it both days; there is a bar (to enjoy beer), though it gets a bit noisy (if you want to sleep before 11)...the Hotel has a lot of character and history; I will definitely like to come back to stay here!

Our second stay at Casa Colon
We stayed in the best room they had, #103, which had a private bath, a double bed and bunk beds. We used the bunks for our luggage. Maid came every day and made the bed and swept the floor. Breakfast was free and good--try the "typical". Front desk had some communication problems but everything was worked out. There was a change in ownership on August 1, so it will be interesting to see if this place goes "up" or "down".

Friendly helpful staff
I arrived late in the evening with my family and the staff / service was very helpful. Room was clean and quiet - just what we needed before going to the bus station early the following morning.
