Panama City hotels near Avenida Balboa

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

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

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

Pros: Very nice facilities and staff.

Pros: 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.

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

Pros: Breakfast buffet Staff

Pros: 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.

Pros: Window vista over the bay

Pros: The hotel felt very grande when entering. Everything is marble and large which made the experience feel more high class. The staff was very nice the whole time. WORKOUT FACILITY: I was extremely impressed with the workout facility. A massive space with all new looking equipment. It was a pleasant surprise as I like to get a workout in every day on trips. BREAKFAST: I received 1 free breakfast pass for each day I stayed here. My wife had not received a pass so the staff was kind enough to move my second day pass to having two on the first day. We were checking out early so didn't need day 2 anyway. The restaurant view was *amazing* from the patio. Overlooking the whole waterway, it was one of the best view photos I took the whole trip. The food was better than most, nothing to complain about, but nothing mind blowing. And you shouldn't expect mind blowing with a free meal anyway. TAXI SERVICE: We booked a taxi with the staff downstairs to take a tour of the Panama Canal. It was $30 one way which is a little more expensive than a normal taxi, but it was worth the price. The driver even offered to wait up to 1.5 hours for us to finish the tour and drive us back for another $30. We elected not to do this and just find a cheaper taxi on the way back. We had plenty of space in their van, plus the driver was extremely kind and helped provide some info on Panama since we were new here. They also provided 2 bottles of water which is great in Panama. We also booked a taxi for one of our nights out. We were able to negotiate with the driver to bring it down to $20 for a trip to Old Town. I would HIGHLY recommend negotiating the taxi price no matter where you go or who it's with. It just felt like any taxi driver would say $30 regardless of where we were going. So negotiate! OVERALL PRICE: The price was about double of other Hilton brand hotels in the area but you could definitely tell the difference. I would say it was worth the price. However, if you're looking for a bargain, just stay at another Hilton brand hotel.

Pros: The room is clean and the areas.

Pros: I was upgraded to a large "executive" room. Good breakfast in the executive lounge good elevators

Pros: Food was wonderful so was the staff

Pros: The quality of the people servicing the hotel more than exceeds expectations. People are very kind in their treatment and go the extra mile. I had a situation that wasn't really a big deal to me but I let the staff know about it during check in. At the time of check out, a fellow from the concierge desk approached me and apologized for the situation and offered a courtesy ride to the airport as a gesture of appreciation for my business. This wasn't necessary but he insisted. I have to thank him for this because he made my day.

Pros: Hip place with great staff. Very good value. Highly recommend. Much better than our stay at TRYP.

Pros: I like the location, the staff, and the design of the hotel in general. Also, it's nice to see the improvements in the biergarten; beer selection and menu.

Pros: For the price it's a decent value. Included breakfast is good

Pros: Not a free shuttle. $20 per person! Breakfast was nice. Free "welcome drink" is just a cheap beer.

Pros: I enjoyed my stay at the Riande Granada hotel. Service standards were very good. Nice friendly staff, food was excellent as well. There is a Gym with basic equipment which served the purpose, a nice swimming pool and jacuzzi. I would stay in this hotel again.

Pros: The pool and outdoor area is nice. Lots of places to sit and relax.
