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.

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.

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).

The staff were absolutely amazing; every single one of them; from the receptionist to the doormen. 5* plus. The shower has intermittent hot water. The coffee machine didn’t work. The TV channels were missing. And our room was outside the church. The bells rang ‘loudly’ from 06:30 right through to 22:00 every day; Sunday to Saturday. Breakfast area had real character … but the food was cold. Bar lacks ambience but they make a grea G&T. The pool area worked but it’s a tad smaller in reality than the hotel photos. Central location but church bells at the back and loud square at the front. The hotel has real character though and the area is very safe. UBER drivers park outside; amazingly quick service when you need to get around the City. But we aware of The Bells.

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.

The room was great at a perfect location. The only thing though, we’ve requested a 3 people occupancy and it only had a King Size bed, even though the room was a suit. Perhaps adding a sleeper sofa would help the room be more comfortable. I would still recommend it!

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.

Cool historic building. Very clean, nice rooftop pool. Amazingly friendly staff. Spectacular location. View of Plaza Herrara from the room. Things to know: 1. Rooftop bar across the plaza is bumping till the am. Not a problem if you are from the city, but if you are used to quiet ... 2. Room only had two prong electrical, and all outlet we switched making it difficult to charge phones at night. Would definitely stay again.
