Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Hotel Bristol is an excellent option that helps you feel at home, taking care of every detail of your stay. Each space of the hotel is beautifully decorated with art; the rooms are beautiful, with beautiful decoration and ideal resting environment, the beds are a delight and the bedding very clean and comfortable. They use organic products such as shampoo, conditioner, creams and soaps. They give you important personal care items like swabs, limes, slippers and bathrobes. The food is delicious, the breakfasts very diverse for all tastes, with fresh fruit every day and some delicious snacks. The staff always attentive and willing to help make your stay great.

Hotel's Favourite
Excellent hotel. Stayed twice for 2 nights each - each stay was in a different section of the hotel. Both rooms were spacious, quiet, of course clean with nice furnishings. Breakfast buffet had a good selection of items. Had dinner twice, good variety of options, fairly expensive. Location is in financial district which meant Uber needed ( very helpful hotel staff recommend rather than taxi) to visit old town.

This exceptional hotel, strategically situated in the heart of Panama City's financial district, is within walking distance of remarkable restaurants, shopping centers, and cafés. The service was impeccable, with the staff consistently attentive to guests' needs, checking rooms two to three times daily. The cleanliness was outstanding, complemented by high-quality organic toiletries such as shampoo and body lotion. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options, maintaining a high standard of both taste and healthfulness each morning, with additional items available outside the standard buffet. The porridge was particularly excellent.
The hotel's restaurant, Salsipuedes, provided an extensive array of culinary themes, including Italian and taco nights, making each dining experience memorable. The live music performances added a highly appreciated cultural dimension. The spa facilities were extraordinary, featuring a sauna, a relaxation room with a stunning view, and additional services that significantly enhanced the overall hotel experience. The gym was meticulously clean, equipped with top-notch facilities, and offered refreshing cold towels.
Visiting this hotel is essential for anyone traveling to Panama City, offering an unparalleled experience of Panamanian hospitality and a perfect blend of comfort, culture, and exemplary service. I eagerly look forward to my next visit.

My stay at Bristol for my 30th birthday was 9/10 . Let’s start with the not so good first. Thank you to hotel staff for the upgrade to the executive suite when we found hair in our bathroom from the older building. Book in the executive sweet when staying here lighting is way better. On my birthday night we were too tired to head out so we decided to dine in the hotel
Restaurant I Am Vegan, the staff were aware before arrival. Menu didn’t have much options for me so I wanted to order from room service , kitchen said Room service was out of beyond beef burger I went to front desk and called room service they had the burger I ordered it to my room. Room service brought it to restaurant instead because my sister was still dinning. I knew it might not be possible to have the buger made in restaurant but chef shouldn’t have said it was out of stock I would have gladly returned to my room and ordered it there. I too am in the hospitality industry so I immediately knew that was a lie & got up and ordered it myself. Never lie to guest always be transparent that kitchen won’t be able to honor the request which they should for any guest anyways.
Now good news: hotel was accommodating change of room, I received a birthday fruit bowl & heartfelt message love that, room was cleaned daily by the time we got back to hotel, room service employees were patient and kind, but Danany & Johana at front desk made my trip exceptional very helpful I any request I made whether in advance or last minute . They helped me translate with locals over the phone when I was looking for items because no employees spoke English, she booked my birthday dinner at Calle dragones which was so much fun, she even made sure at 4:45 am my sister and I had breakfast sandwiches waiting on us at front desk before our driver picked us up for a 3 hour drive trip to San Blas island. These ladies are the epitome of customer service as I too work in the hotel industry in the Caribbean & New York and felt like I was a home away from home 10 years in the field thank you ladies for making my 30th birthday exceptional

We stayed at the Bristol for a week in September and had a wonderful stay while we were in Panama City for sightseeing, seeing friends, and a few business meetings. The Bristol was ideally situated for our needs and the hotel was exceptionally comfortable. Best of all, the excellent service really made us feel well cared for.
The guest room was generously proportioned and tastefully decorated. Everything was spotlessly clean upon check in and the housekeeping staff kept it that way throughout our stay. We loved the spacious shower with the invigorating water flow that felt like we started each day at a spa. Turndown service at night with a tasty treat was a nice touch.
The breakfast buffet was delicious and there was a good selection of cold and hot dishes. The coffee was excellent and there were always a variety of fruit juices available.
Everyone working at the Bristol provided excellent service and special acclaim goes to Gaby and Edgar who took care of guests every time they arrived and left each day.
I would highly recommend the Bristol Panama when you visit Panama City.

I want to congratulate the hotel spa team for providing me with a truly exceptional experience. From the very first moment, Camila, as the leader, made sure that everything was perfectly organized and that we felt comfortable and welcomed. Lurían, the masseuse, demonstrated incredible professionalism and talent, making every moment of the massage relaxing and revitalizing. In addition, Marlis complemented the experience with her impeccable attention and warm service. Without a doubt, the entire team made this visit an unforgettable experience. Thank you for exceeding my expectations!

There are so many amazing things I want to share about this hotel. From the moment my husband and I walked into the hotel we were immediately greeted by Carlos who retrieved our luggage and then provided us with cool towels to freshen our hands. He then provided us with a glass of fresh juice that was absolutely delicious.
We were then greeted by the receptionist Carmen who was a gem! She was very pleasant and friendly and she asked us about our visit to Panama and we told her it was our Anniversary and she upgraded our room for an enhanced experience in this hotel.
The check in process was superb! We ordered room service a couple times and everything was wonderful. We had cocktails at the bar and that was great as well.
This hotel superseded my expectations and I HIGHLY recommend anyone coming to Panama MUST stay here you will not be disappointed!

We stayed one night in late December at the Bristol Panama. The hotel was beautifully decorated for the holidays and the young man who checked us in was very efficient and courteous. We had a tower room on the 24th floor and enjoyed a beautiful view of the city. The room was spacious, very comfortable, and beautifully appointed. We enjoyed dinner from room service and the Sancocho and Lentejas were both delicious. Everyone we encountered was kind, courteous, and very efficient. The same agent from check in also arranged a car for our trip to the airport and he even provided a box breakfast since our departure was very early. It is a comfortable, beautiful, and well run hotel. Highly Recommend

The Bristol has large rooms at an affordable price for a 5-star hotel. We were very pleased with our room until we realized the door didn’t lock at all. You didn’t even need a key card to enter the room. We told the reception staff and then went to dinner. Dinner was great but when we returned to the room, and the lock still wasn’t fixed. I spoke to a different reception person and they sent up a maintenance person right away. The maintenance person was great. The maintenance person determined that it was gonna take a long time to fix the door. But by that time it was already 11 PM and I wanted to get myself and my children to bed. I called reception to be transferred to another room, but she said she had to wait to speak to maintenance first. That took about 10 minutes, and then I had to walk down to get keys and the new room number. It was a long night. It was just a bit frustrating to wait to be given another room so late in evening when we were tired and ready to go to sleep. Otherwise, we had a short, but great stay.
