Pasamos aquí nuestra noche de bodas y pensamos celebrar nuestro 1er aniversario de lo bien que nos fue. El personal nos hizo sentir en casa. Es un hotel situado en el Casco Antiguo de la ciudad y es muy rico caminar por los alrededores con muchos restaurantes, bares y museos. El desayuno del hotel estaba buenísimo, pedimos unos huevos benedictos y un bistec a caballo con tortillas. Todo estuvo delicioso! Al frente hay una iglesia y se escuchan las campanas.

Really, Really Amazing Hotel Experience.
Wow. We were so impressed with our stay. The service was unbelievably good -- from the front desk to maid service. Everyone was super (and sincerely) friendly and made very interaction a pleasure. We have traveled first class through other foreign countries, and this was equivalent. We loved that the hotel is also a piece of the history of Panama City, and the location is absolutely where you want to be as a first-time visitor. Easy to walk to fantastic restaurants and security was always present (due to proximity of the Presidential Compound) -- but not in an uncomfortable way.

This was our first time in Panama and our first time staying at the American Trade Hotel, which has a heritage building designation. What an amazing hotel! It was clean, safe, centrally located in Casco Viejo and the staff were always available and willing to provide guidance on places of interest to visit in the City. As it was a special birthday for my spouse, Aldhair Diaz and Estefania Martinez were very instrumental in getting me sorted with a bottle of Prosecco for the room on our arrival to which they added a scrumptious brownie square with fresh fruit. The staff remembered my spouse's birthday and there wasn't a shortage of best wishes from them on the day. Again, another scrumptious brownie square with fresh fruit was dropped off at the room for the birthday celebration. We were very appreciative to all the staff for their attention to detail and friendliness. A special shout-out to Luis-Armstrong who was a wealth of knowledge on the history of the hotel and general Panamanian History.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable with bright with bright white soft linens. The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. Also, we’ve never stayed anywhere where a pool is open 24 hours. Where else can you have a late night swim with some cocktails. The hot water takes some to come out of the pipes however it’s well worth the wait. They have really nice bath soaps and creams. The area is ideal with amazing restaurants nearby. I would stay here again in a heartbeat

Beautiful, friendly staff but some issues
This beautiful hotel is located in the historical part of the city. It's within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and sights. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, my room on the top floor was directly across from an old church with bells that rang every hour from early morning to late night. The only other negative was that, for some reason, my shower lacked hot water or even lukewarm water. Lastly, due to heavy rainfall, water poured through a fire alarm on the ceiling in the hallway outside my suite. It started to pool by the door, but friendly hotel staff were able to grab a bucket to catch the water and mop it up before it started to leak into my room.

The American Trade Hotel is very conveniently located on a square in old town Panama City. The building itself is interesting, the room and bathroom were spacious, there was a sweet little balcony. Staff were great. However, there are two notable things that resulted in a poor rating. The most signicant was the air conditioning system, which ran during the one night we stayed at the hotel. The following morning I awoke with terrible allergy symptoms that continued throughout my travel day. Only the following day was I back to normal, which is a further indication that I did not have a cold or other illness but was responding to an allergen and my symptoms subsided once I was no longer exposed and got it out of my system. So I think the HVAC could use a good disinfection. I would imagine this is a common problem in that environment! Additionally, neither of us could get hot water out of the shower. I would assume this was a problem with this one room only, but still quite unfortunate. If not for these two issues, I would rate American Trade Hotel highy.
