Bristol Panama

Loved Our Stay!

Prós: Everything! The hotel staff was very accommodating and the hotel was lovely.

Contras: The pool was somewhat disappointing, but in a building like that, surrounded by such large buildings, there's not much to be done. Also there was a cab driver associated with the hotel that charged a group of four $40 to go to Casco Viejo from the hotel. Total rip off! I believe his name was Franz.

Very Pleasant Hotel, well located

Prós: I've stayed here before. Unlike the big hotels, the Bristol provides personalized service and very nice rooms.

Contras: Wouldn't do the pre paid breakfast again. No variation in menu. Gets a bit boring after 2-3 days.

My favorite in Panama City

Prós: The Bristol is a special place where it's excellent staff cares for every detail. Small but special, for comfort this is THE place.

Wonderful Experience!

Prós: The room and bathroom were clean and upscale! The pub and restaurant were excellent. i loved the touch of cold bottled water and a chilled wash cloth at check-in.

Contras: One elevator is out of order and the other was heavily used by hotel staff....wife and i walked stairs three times in four day stay! pub staff moved so slow to any request! Hotel driver ripped us off with huge fee for short ride.

My favorite

Prós: Fantastic staff and facility. Great breakfast and a great, quiet location.

Prós: Very clean room. Kudos to Wendy and Gustavo, they were excellent. I wanted to acknowledge a server also, but I do not remember her name. She is short, worked in the mornings at breakfast time serving the coffee. She has very black hair, and a great smile always, kudos to her.

Contras: Supper, the food served at that time did not meet my expectation. They need to improve on that. Great breakfast buffet though. I can empathize with the guest that was assigned a room next to the linen closet. I think that we got that same noisy room.
