We stayed here for 3 nights and found it to be a lovely hotel with a very attentive staff. We did not like that we were charged $13. a day for an internet connection, $1. for each local call and about $40. for a breakfast for 2 each day. This is on top of a $350. room charge. It seems... more

I just returned from a getaway to Contadora with friends and stayed two nights at the Bristol Hotel. Everything from the decor, bedding, linens and complimentary hot breakfast buffet was over the top. Will definately stay again. more

My wife and I spent four nights at the Bristol in January, having selected it on the basis of the outstanding reviews on TripAdvisor. More surprising, than our sense of crushing disappointment with our stay, was that fact that the aspects of the hotel that we found most deficient were some of the very same services upon which other reviewers... more

Our stay was arranged through a travel agency as part of a retirement tour. What an awesome, pleasant experience. Since business/banking instead of tourism was Panama's "calling" in 2005 ~ When we arrived my husband was given presentation cards (business cards) . These cards indicated our address at the Bristol Hotel, our room's telephone AND fax number. The room was... more

This is an outstanding small hotel. The rooms are great. The bar and the restaurant are as good as it gets. Well worth the money. We spent New Year's Eve there; and it was, equally, great. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Panama City. more

It might be worth it to arrange a stay at another hotel if you're going to another place in Panama and see if they can get you a deal at the Bristol. You might save half the price. Our room... more

We stayed at the Bristol hotel twice in Decmeber 2007. Both stays were wonderful. The hotel is expensive by Panama standards, but has great rooms, superb service and a fantastic restaurant. The hotel does not look overly grand from the outside, but inside it is very nice. The surroundings are luxurious, the rooms more like a well-appointed hotel in London,... more

We (husband, three well-traveled boys 12-16, and me) spent a night at the Bristol last "ski week" after a three days at a great family-run resort in Costa Rica, and 4 wonderful days in Bocas. Our boys would love to go back to Bocas (we stayed at the home of a friend so I can't recommend a hotel), particularly for... more
