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.

Lovely boutique hotel in the old town. Room was nice and spacious. Had a problem with hot water on the first night that was promptly fixed but recurred the next morning. This was quickly resolved by being moved to a different and upgraded room, where everything was fine. Staff was great, especially Andrea at the front desk, who was fantastic, promptly resolving the above issue and had great recommendations for the area. Both rooms were great, lovely balconies - both rooms were church side (Church of the Mercy, quaint baroque church). No problems with the church bell on the hour (ear plugs are part of the bathroom amenities) — though light sleepers may find this problematic as the room lets in some outside noise. Church side is a lot quieter than the Plaza Herrera side - except for the church bell. Will stay here again.

I will start by saying how accurate my decision was to finally book this hotel for my very first visit to Panama City - a real piece of history, almost like being in a film set. From the welcoming message I received after making my booking to the friendly and kind reception I was welcomed with on the evening of my arrival and during my stay, the American Trade Hotel did not fail my expectations. Everything I had requested them beforehand, including the possibility of a room with a balcony for my sister and brother in law who were travelling with me, was made available to us in the kindest way possible. The two rooms who were adjacent to each other had fantastic views onto the main square in the area, Plaza Herrera, as well as the Cinta Costera, the sea, and other interesting buildings. We felt absolutely fortunate with our rooms, and for this, I couldn't be more grateful to the hotel. Numerous could be the positive things that I could keep adding on like the location within the historical Casco Viejo, the excellent restaurant in the hotel so as the variety of choices in the area including cafes and bars, but nothing beats the very friendly and welcoming attitude of all the staff, and particularly Kevin who was the one to welcome us on the evening of our arrival. One little thing that I may have found not completely perfect was the fact that the temperature of the air conditioning in my room seemed to fluctuate during the night but it wasn't a terrible inconvenience at all.

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.

I wanted to give this hotel a positive review, because it's appearance, both exterior and interior, is immaculate. The property is beautiful and seemingly well maintained. The hotel is also in a convenient location in the old part of the city. The hotel staff were professional, polite, and helpful. The frequent loud ringing of church bells nearby may be bothersome for some guests (my room was not soundproof), but it was not bothersome for me. I mention this for prospective guests who may experience sound sensitivity. I wrote that the property is "seemingly" well maintained, because I do not believe that to actually be the case. Every time I tried to use hot water in my bathroom, it was unavailable, both in the sink, and in the shower. Every time I needed hot water, I had to go to the concierge desk and inform hotel staff that there was no hot water in my bathroom. If this had been a one time occurrence, I could have considered it a fluke and not mentioned it here in this review, however I had to leave my room and visit the concierge EVERY time I needed hot water available. Maintenance staff had to be repeatedly sent to my room. On one occasion, I lost the hot water they had managed to provide to me less than half way through a brief shower, which was very unpleasant. While the hotel would appear to be high end in appearance, it was not high end in its accommodations. Sadly, despite its beautiful appearance, I would not recommend a stay here.
