This property was amazing. From the moment of check in to all the way to check out, the staff was friendly and helpful and the amenities were top notch. The buffet breakfast is excellent and the location is unbeatable - right in the middle of Panama City, with two blocks to the Cinta Costera and a short drive to Casco Viejo. We're definitely going to stay here again next time we come back to Panama.

Nothing could've been better.

The location is quite central. The room was big, and the bathroom was big as well. Evening turndown service is a nice touch. Complimentary water come in handy in this hot place.

During checkin the receptionist said I had 20% discount at the spa. However, upon checkout the discount was „not found”. 36 USD is not an issue at this price point, but it leaves a bittersweet impression - clearly somebody at the reception was wrong. Breakfast had limited options (during week days, on the weekend there were additional options like taco station). The pool is not the best (small, a bit dated, and without a view), but it seems to be a problem common to many PTY hotels.

EVERYTHING All if the staff was so nice, kept checking that we r ok. Kept checking that the room is clean and the minibar is full twice a day. Everything we asked for had done really quickly. The bad was so comfy and the shower was great- the organic shampoo & conditioner made my hair looks so good and soft! The breakfast was great- a big staff that here to help in everything- big variety of food and juices. Everything was perfect so we decided to extend our stay in 2 more days.

The breakfast was great- but every day it was the same and there was no difference.

We last stayed here about 5 years ago, and it was not good at all...in fact we made the decision not to go back. So, we were going to Christmas shop in Panama City and read that the Bristol had new management...so, we booked 4 nights....and everything was perfect. The new management are doing an excellent job...and we will stay there again. Top marks to Bristol for great accommodation, great service, excellent food and a very good location...what is not to like!

Staff super friendly and attentive, breakfast delicious, 300 meters to Metro Estación Iglesia del Carmen, valet car parking without additional costs, Sixt Rent-a-car 150 meters just around the corner, Coffee Max (Obarrio) which became my favorite location for some snacks and drinks in the evening at the same distance, and the area totally safe.

My room in the 7th floor didn't have the best view, but I didn't book it for looking out of the window all day long. So, the answer is: There was nothing I didn't like.

Hotel, staff, rooms everything was amazing! Everybody was so kind and helpful! Shout out to everybody at the reception and at the entrance, you made us feel like home! I hope Bristol Management knows what an amazing team and staff they have, we will definitely come back because everyone made us feel special and like family there. Go book this hotel to stay in Panama, we were very happy to stay at Bristol rather than somewhere in Casco Viejo. 10/10

Maybe upgrade the breakfast with more vegetables. That's all :)

The Bristol Panama provides with a classy accommodation in the heart of Panama City financial district. Both the Tocumen international airport and the Casco Viejo are a short taxi ride away. Staff are very kind and efficient. Ms Norka Rojas, Guest Relations manager, was particularly nice and efficient. Rooms are large and comfortable.

At times the front desk was a bit understaffed. The nice bar on the ground floor, which serves excellent Martini cocktails, unfortunately was closed on Sundays, and in the evenings is open only until 10:30pm.

New furniture, new sheets, clean carpets and homemade food with restaurante quality. They take very serious when it comes to provide good services. Hosts helped with every detail. I booked only 5 nights but I decides to stay longer. I would definitely come back, I stayed in other hotels in the region but this is 100% the best option for a reasonable price.

the only thing I would add is USB chargers in the room for international travelers.

Staff was very helpful - just great. Breakfast was excellent. No issues drinking water from tap (big plus).

Perhaps hotel could arrange to have a water dispenser with lemon or other fruit for flavoring place near entrance so that guests walking in from heat can refresh themselves prior to heading to their room.

Horrible service at B-bar for food and a soda. Bad food. Inexcusable experience. Should have been comped for food and didn't even get the guest discount. Thought only restaurant open that time of night. Place had 4 people there already served. Waited an hour just for a menu. Waited an hour for my salad. Should have told them to shove it and left. Should have walked around then would have found late night places.
