I had to stay at the Bristol hotel because the Marriott was fully booked, and it right behind. I have to admit that the hotel is very nice, although we faced some inconveniences due to the fact that some remodeling is going on, but nothing mayor. However, brace yourself: WIFI INTERNET DOES NOT REACH ALL ROOMS! Yes, WiFi does not... More

Stayed 2 nights April 18 and 19, 2012. We were on the first floor so we had a view of a roof and construction site. It was nice to have a Butler, Luis; however, it was all a bit overwhelming the first minute we got there. at least he noticed we didn't get the few nibbles of cheese and strawberries... More

I had the pleasure of staying at the Bristol last week with a bunch of college buddies, and I tell you, we could not speak more highly of the experience. Upon entering the door, I immediately felt at home, as though the staff had taken me into their respective homes (not to mention I was instantaneously greeted with a cool,... More

It's all in the details for the staff in Bristol! The staff is sharp and on point with making sure that your stay is going as planned. The staff constantly filled ice buckets in the room (even thou we didnt use them), made sure to call us after the wake-up calls and made sure I knew when members of my... More

Our stay at the Bristol was truly excellent. Everyone in the staff, from the front desk to the bar, was always extremely attentive to details and provided over the top customer service. I went to Panama with a bunch of friends and the hotel was kind enough to cater to all our different needs. The food in the restaurant, Barandas,... More

It's hot in Panama...really hot and humid. And the Bristol's air conditioning was on the fritz. Pure hell. The staff could care less. They constantly got our names wrong. (and we speak Spanish) The restaurant was terrible, slow and got our orders wrong. I told them I have an allergy to onions and guess what they brought me? Lots and... More

We found our three night stay at the Bristol barely adequate. Although the rooms were spacious and the bathrooms opulent, I would have preferred good service. The staff rarely answered the phone, never made an on-time wake up call, had difficulty hailing a taxi, and couldn't book a tour. Obviously, I was able to handle all these situations on my... More

We spent one day and two nights at this lovely hotel. Common areas, bar, restaurant and rooms were all lovely, in an old world way. Dark paneling abounded in common areas. Rich fabrics and furnishings. Service was what one would expect in a Leading Hotel of the World. We ate in the bar restaurant. It was very good, and not... More

This is a fine, small hotel with great service and spacious, comfortable rooms. From check-in at a private desk to check-out you feel like a special guest. Restaurant reservations, private cars and future arrangements are handled quickly and professionally. The rooms are nicely furnished and you have a butler assigned to make sure that any request from shoe shining to... More
