Bristol Panama, a Registry Collection Hotel

Bella Vista Panama City|0.5km from Parish National Shrine of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Unfortunately one cant trust all reviews nowadays... My wife and I did actually stay at this hotel at the begning of the month. I mean, the place is ok and you get what you paid for! We were staying only 3 nights on our way to boquete so thought we would try it out as it has changed management lately having stayed at a nearby 5* hotel in our previous visit and did not want to repeat. The hotel is located in what used to be a desirable part of town which has since succumbed to the inevitable migration of businesses from the choked part of town to more modern areas. It is centrally located but suffers from terrible traffic during peak hours which means that those few minutes they advertise can turn into almost an hour to get to the heritage area. Even in this part of town, hotels like W and JW offer more contemporary accomodations and facilities. Speaking of which. The Bristol is not a new hotel and seems to be struggling with maintenance. Internet was spotty at best and our room had a smell that I can only attribute to dampness and old carpets or drapery. Service was nice, people were attentive at reception but the same thing could not be said about the restaurant and bar staff. The rstaurant on the 5th floor lacks atmosphere and pretty much looks over other buildings and not the skyline they advertise. Food was acceptable but seemed to be lacking purpose. We ended up having breakfast the next two days at a nearby chain cafe and chosing to dine out at one of the many restaurants on our way back from touring the city. The spa is nice and does has suprisingly great views! If stayig at a nearby hotel I would recommend it. They do have some sort of a tour desk at the ground floor but we found the lady working there too pushy and decided to stick to our guides and the experiences we found posted on Tripadvisor. Those were really useful. On our way back we will be staying at a new property in Casco as it is absolutely beautiful and worth discovering. I guess that if you have business in the area and have to choose a hotel within that neighborhood The Bristol would be an acceptable option amongs many others. But be advised it is far from the 5* experience that they seem to be proyecting at the moment. Hope this review helps those who are looking into staying in Panama. We are moving here in a few months on a more permanent basis and would like to make sure we dont miguide those coming for the first time.

I was in Panama City, Panama for Memorial Day Weekend 2023. For breakfast I dined at the La Brasserie restaurant every morning. My waitress, Oreida Roman, made me feel welcome every time. She was always friendly, smiled beautifully, and made sure that the restaurant met my expectations. If I come back to Panama in the near future I will be staying at the Marriott Sortis Hotel and will be dining at La Brasserie. Thank you Oreida and keep being the outstanding waitress that you are.

The smell of the room was very heavy, it was just renovated, it was pungent, everything else was good.
W Panama

The W Panama was an unforgettable experience. It’s one of the best Marriott Hotels in Panama. The service at the W was the best I’ve experienced in Panama. They went above and beyond for Wifey’s birthday, I was impressed with the level of service received. They were quick to respond to my needs via the BonVoy app. and were exceptional throughout my stay. I loved how well they acknowledged my Elite status with Marriott. They even left a nice small cake in our upgraded suite. Cant say enough about the service, it was superb. The Wow suite has the name to match. It was one of the coolest rooms I’ve stayed in. Love that they offer so many room options, they are sure to meet just about any occasion.

This is a nice, modern hotel and everything looks nice, well kept, and very clean. Check in was quick and easy. Simple, comfortable room was perfect for me, maybe just a bit cozy for a couple. The room was very pleasant and had the right accessories - especially the desk area. Lighting was rather poor. The shower is attractive but very poorly designed. I don't care for the combination of rainfall shower head and handheld shower. Unless one is very careful with the handheld shower, water hits the door area and leaks out to make a puddle on the floor of the rest of the bathroom. Hot water always available - though it might have been just a bit hotter. In searching numerous hotels, it seemed difficult to find a room with a small fridge in it - this one has it. If only they also had a microwave! WiFi was very good at all times. Breakfast was adequate with a reasonable selection, but quite unorganized. It seems that anything with meat is way overcooked both at breakfast and in the restaurant at other times. Smokers are made to feel very unwelcome! There is a large open air area off the lobby where smokers could relax without troubling other guests - but not allowed. The only place smoking is allowed is in the driveway or outdoor parking area on the side of the hotel. Some reasonable accommodation could easily be made. The location is good. If you want American fast food or to take the Metro (subway) a leisurely 10 minute walk gets you there. McDonalds, Wendys, Subway, Dominos, and a couple of other restaurants and a bakery in a single strip next to one another. STRANGE STORY about booking a room... I booked for 6 nights and while I was there wanted to extend my stay another day. It couldn't be done either at the desk or through booking website - nothing available. HOWEVER, I was able to book a NEW reservation online for a room - ended up, of course, with the same room for an extra night.

The Room - The queen-sized bed was luxurious, the pillows were comfortable, the rain shower in the bathroom was refreshing, the air conditioning was cold. The room also had a large closet with drawers, a TV with remote, a desk and two chairs, and the room was VERY clean. The WIFI was free, strong and very useful to me! They also have an in-room safe for your valuables, a pool and their own parking garage but I did not use them. The Metro Stop at Via Argentina is close by. I had a beautiful view of the city from my 5th floor window where I could enjoy the rain storms and the city lights at night. The Staff and Surroundings - I felt VERY safe! The staff answered questions, ordered taxis for me (until my Uber App started working) and was welcoming and accommodating. Cesar Ramirez especially (I believe he is the front desk manager) spoke English and was so very helpful to me!! EXCELLENT STAFF - EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! They also spent time with a taxi driver helping him to understand that I wanted him to take me one place, wait for me to finish, then take me to my final destination--the trip was a success! The mini market next door is super convenient (with American items and pricing). The Tsugoi Restaurant next door was a treat for me. Sushi and Yakisoba! YUM!! If you want all the amenities of a 5-star resort, you might not find them in the room: an alarm clock (you have one on your cell phone), complimentary shampoo and conditioner (just buy or bring your own), a coffee maker (I think the mini market next door has some--it's Panama, go on a coffee adventure and try some of the best coffee in the world)

Service: The customer service was very good! All the individuals were very warm and courteous, especially the staff at the kitchen in the mornings. Breakfast : The breakfast was very good. There were many items to choose from. They also tried to switch up the different food items/options daily. Location: The hotel is a little distant from the Tocumen airport, maybe about 20-30 minutes drive. The hotel is right beside a KFC. There are a few restaurants and a bar nearby as well. Taxis are easy to get at the hotel. Depending on your destination, fare is from 5USD up. Casco Viejo is about 15 minutes away. Amenities: I didn’t really love the amenities. They were no toothbrush/toothpaste provided and other common things that I expected as it relates to amenities. Birthday: It was my spouse’s birthday and we went out and came back and saw that the hotel left a delicious slice of cake, fruits and a letter on our table for my spouse. THANK YOU!!!!😊😊😊😊😊 The hotel was clean. The lobby area is great for photos. The check in process was smooth. The pool has a bar and restaurant with reasonable prices! We enjoyed our stay 😊😊😊
