The room was clean and the staff where wonderful. My only issue during my stay: the bed was very hard and hurt my back every night. The sheets on the bed were only changed every three days so for a week stay two times. The room glasses that where provided where never replaced with new ones. I would still come back for the location is great.

Exceptional service stands out at the hotel. Front desk, bell hops, and bar staff Ivan and Johnathan were amazing. We used the small gym it had some weights and treadmills, pool area is charming. Unido coffee shop is adjacent serving geisha coffee. The only issue was the church bells right by the hotel, but nothing hotel can do they are living with history of the church. The square was lit up for the holidays with music super charming and insta worthy pics.

We had a wonderful stay at the American Trade Hotel in Panama City. The hotel is a beautifully preserved historic landmark, and you feel that character the moment you walk in. The unique floor tiles and thoughtful design details give it a charm you do not find in typical hotels, and everything was spotless and very well maintained. The location is also perfect. It is right in the heart of Casco Viejo, within easy walking distance of great restaurants, lively nightlife, and plenty of shops, so it is ideal for exploring the old town. On top of that, the staff was consistently cordial, professional, and helpful throughout our stay. We would absolutely recommend the American Trade Hotel to anyone visiting Panama and would happily stay here again.

Very loud at least until 10pm, sometimes 1:00 am. Room service below standards, during 4 days stay not once was the floor cleaned, no supply in the containers of toiletries, outdoor space dusty and unkempt. Lobby and front desk service was great.

Beautiful hotel with amazingly spacious rooms. Really wonderful and professional staff. Great location. We took one star off for the horrible breakfast we received as part of our booking package on our first morning there. I couldn't get myself to return, though my husband did and he reported no improvement. So we essentially wasted money on the package with breakfast included. Having said that, there is a wonderful cafe around the corner. We would happily stay here if we ever return to Panama (we just won't include breakfast in our package).

Wonderful historic hotel. Breakfast was not included in my rate but for $10 per person, the breakfast was amazing and cooked to order. Great location and nice pool area. Very helpful front desk staff. Definitely want to stay in Casco Viejo to experience the old Town of Panama. We will return to Panama and to this hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff was great. Breakfasts and dinner were also very good. The location was the right place to be for a visitor. Points to improve, the floor of the room was not clean, we clean it and after we realize the personnel sweep the floor instead of vacuum it. It would be a plus to wash it too. We had a suite (105). There is one switch for the living room and the bedroom, consequently, we cannot work in the living room when one person want to sleep. It takes a lot of time to get hot water from the shower, maybe two minutes (estimate). The safe was not attached to anything, a bad person could take the safe and leave. To finish on a positive note: we had the space we wanted.

If you’re a light sleeper like me - this hotel is not for you. It has two exposures: one to the square where there is partying and loud music every night till early morning and another exposure is to the church where the bells go off every 15 min from 6am-10pm. Resting was challenging and completely impossible during the day. Otherwise, the hotel was fine: clean, nice rooms, nice enough staff, very basic facilities: small gym and pool that we haven’t used (too small). Food was okay - we found much better restaurants especially for breakfast elsewhere. I guess it was fine for the price.
