Old classic hotel with wood floors and nice furniture. Major problem was the music blasting from the rooftop bar at Casa Casco...directly across from this hotel. Very loud music until about 12:30 am...Wednesday through Saturday. The staff moved my room to the other side of the hotel after one night of this.

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.

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.
