This hotel is a dream. Classic elegance. The rooms are large. Breakfast buffet is a cornucopia of fresh fruit, cheeses, cereals and hot dishes made to order. Hotel staff is world-class. When my husband took ill, they arranged a house call from local doctor & bellman picked up the prescriptions from pharmacy. Concierge's restaurant suggestions were impeccable. Yes, there is... More

The Bristol Hotel in Panama City is regarded as one of the best hotels in the city. We were not dissapointed during our recent 7-night, New Years stay. The Bristol Hotel is well located within walking distance of several restaurants, shopping and services. Calle Uruguay, a street with several restaurants and clubs is a mere two minute walk. The hotel... More

We arranged for an airport pickup, and the driver was prompt and provided us with two bottles of water, which was a nice touch. The rooms were beautifully decorated and it was the best night... More

As an example, i asked the concierge how much it would cost to get a public taxi to casco viejo (the guide book said $3, but i knew... More

I stayed here with a group of travel agents, and have had such a bad experience that not only will I not return, I will not refer any clients to this hotel. Room was attractive but air conditioning not reliable (too hot or too cold). The noise from event parties prevented sleep and were allowed to run beyond 2am. The... More

Recently stayed for 2 nights at the Bristol in Panaman City. The hotel is situated on a narrow side street which is very quiet at night but very congested with traffice during the day. As a result the approach to the hotel entrance is not dramatic or stunning, however, everything is brilliant, polished and cool once the ever-present doormen open... More

This is positioned as a "boutique" hotel, and despite the other reviews, I had a horrible experience. I should have stayed there for 8 nights in a business trip, but after 1 night I was so offended and unhappy that left. My really bad experience started upon check-in, where the front desk was not friendly and basically told me that... More
