Tántalo Hotel / Kitchen / Roofbar

I just want to leave the kitchen a five star review. To anyone who reads this, don't bother with the rooftop. Dine inside and enjoy the excellent service and absolutely delicious food. We had the Caesar salad, wild duck, and Mac and cheese with the huge brownie & ice cream for dessert. I have eaten all over Europe and the America's and this was honestly one of the best meals out that I have had anywhere. Our waiter was phenomenal and the food was absolutely perfect. What an experience! It couldn't have contrasted more with the terrible rooftop service/experience. Can't speak on the rooms, but the kitchen should break away and do its own thing!!!

We stayed in room 6 on the second floor on the front of the hotel for three nights in early February. The room was HUGE! We had our own little balcony that overlooked the plaza. It's a busy street, but people watching from the balcony was interesting. The traffic noise can get a little loud late at night when the rooftop bar/club is open, but the hotel supplies ear plugs (we didn't need to use them). The bed and pillows were both really comfortable.||We had breakfast at the Tantalo Kitchen every morning, and the food was excellent! The Tantalo Lover's Sandwich was AMAZING (I had it every morning), and my wife enjoyed alternating between the acai bowl and the pancakes, which were both delicious. The prices were reasonable. ||The staff was very friendly and incredibly helpful when we asked about booking a local tour. The bathrooms just past the bar were so unique that people seemed to come in from the street just to check them out. The art throughout the hotel - including the lampshades made from bottle caps in the restaurant area - was really cool, and we noticed new things every day. ||Be aware that the rooftop bar/club is a hopping place on weekend nights, so you'll likely feel the bass in your room between midnight and 4 a.m. If you're a really light sleeper, this may not be the hotel for you, but the location in Casco Viejo is great and we always felt totally safe.

We only visited the bar and it was wonderful! Fernando and Joel know how to make delicious drinks with top notch service. The view from the rooftop is incredible too! We can't wait to come back!

Great spot for food especially with a big group! There were a few large groups when I arrived for late night tapas alone and drinks, it was absolutely delicious and a great vibe. The staff was super friendly, if you don't have service for the QR code you can still order with staff. Music was also good for the space, not too loud or too quiet and it was great choices of music too!

Avoid- we visited the food top for some sunset drink, the view is nice but not worth it! The menu is limited even for drinks, the service is terrible, they will overcharge and add service without warning. For two drink, the receipt was $18, but $21 was charged to my card. When questioned, the waitress admitted to adding 20% service without agreement. Awful experience, do not recommend!!!

BEWARE - Had a few drinks on rooftop, when paying waitress automatically put a tip through for herself. 20% in fact. Without even asking. When I asked her why the payment on my phone came up so much more expensive that what was on the receipt, she became panicked and tried to hide the receipt. I would not have minded if the service was decent. But it was shocking. 6 staff members to approx. 4 customers and still trying to grab their attention was a nightmare. They preferred to be standing around talking. I think it is daylight robbery to sneakily charge someone for something they did not agree to & then to not offer a refund. Avoid this place. Would not return.

(Review only for the rooftop, haven’t tried the restaurant nor the hotel). The rooftop has an amazing view, the drinks were so good, the food was also very tasty and the waiter jhosteen was funny and welcoming. Highly recommended, we’ll go back :)

We booked a room for 4 nights mid December 2024. The room was very dark with very poor lighting. Some lights were broken. TV was not working and the sink was clogged. Also, room smelled really musty. It was a true nightmare. It took 24 hours to fix the sink. The rest of the issues there was nothing to be done. Additionally, there is so much noise from the rooftop bar that they give your ear plugs!! This was so bad that we asked to leave after two nights. To their credit, they refunded the two nights for us. The restaurant food was average at best. It is located literally in the hotel lobby. Service was good. I would not recommend this place at all as a hotel. Even if it is free.
