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.
