I love this hotel. It felt like something special from the moment we checked in. The staff was amazing and the service was unparalleled. My only concern was that the pillows were rather soft, but the bed and the room were overall very comfortable. I would also recommend using the air plugs that the room provides you with because outside noises rather loud.

During our 4 night stay in Casco Viejo, we frequently wandered into Tiempo’s Coffee Bar for a latte and light breakfast. While my husband enjoyed yogurt, granola and fruit, I particularly enjoyed the avocado toast. Such a nice, quiet location within the American Trade Hotel, with charming views of the surrounding neighborhood.

One of the most charming hotels I have ever stayed in. Each room is beautifully appointed and the library is a gem! The rooftop pool is small but relaxing. Suites facing the square have lovely balconies from which one can enjoy the bustle in the square.

Second Time Around - Just as great! We spent 4 nights in a room overlooking Plaza Herrera and Casa Casco, I love this hotel. Perfect location and a great staff. Everyone was very helpful- especially Stephanie and Genesis. They are an asset to ATH. Definitely have all the qualities a guest looks for, from arrival to departure. They were welcoming, friendly, professional, informative, attentive. And my experience was from both was always great service with a smile. The room Cuarto was perfect for us. Restaurants abound in Casco. I liked being able to walk to restaurants and felt safe. This was our second stay. My daughter had her wedding reception at this hotel and I am glad we returned for a brief stay!

Nice location next to La Merced Church. Please note, there are always wedding and festivities going on, so it can be a bit noisy. There is a small supermarket steps from the hotel, perfect if you forgot something or if you need a quick snack. Breakfast was great! The Panamanian tortillas are to die for, crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle. However, the rooms, especially the bathrooms have seen better days. It takes at least 10 minutes to get hot water, the drain stopper doesn't work, the shower is positioned in a way that you (your robe) would get wet when turning it on. Also, the showers are in urgent need of a deep cleaning as you can see mold forming in the grout . A pricey hotel should be impeccable. Finally, there are no night lights in the bathroom. With some fixes this hotel would be perfect in my opinion. …

Stayed in the one-bedroom suite--and it was fantastic! The room has a very cute (though small) balcony that faced Plaza Herrera. The noise can get loud in the evenings, but the room has super thick curtains that block out most of the noise. Also, the music seems to end around midnight. Overall, this is one of the top hotels in Panama City, located in the historic area of Casco Viejo. The history of the hotel (and the area) is fascinating, so we went on a walking tour to more about the area. The hotel was the first "skyscraper" in Panama City" and originally housed a department sore on the main level and apratments on the upper floors. The architecture is simply gorgeous, both inside and out. The service is A++. Overall, a great hotel--well worth the cost.

This hotel is a great place to start a trip to Panama. The colonial-style hotel with a nice atmosphere is in a great location in the old city. My room was spacious and had great view of the Pacific Ocean. Most importantly, the staff were great, especially the receptionists. The were helpful with any questions I had. In addition, I had a mix-up with my tour operator for a half-day tour, who failed to show. The receptionist helped me reach the operator and book another tour in short notice.

We stayed here for three nights on a stopover trip to Panama City. It's a wonderful hotel with a great location to explore the old town area. You can walk around the area to sight see and to find restaurants and shops.

This hotel was booked as part of a tour via Audley Travel covering Panama and Costa Rica. Our first 3 nights were spent at this hotel in Central Casco Viejo the old city of Panama. We used it as a base to discover the area and we had two and a half days to use the time. The hotel is a late 1800’s building which has been the home of RCA Records, various trade organizations and a hotel. We found the rooms spacious, typically South American furnished with large hard wood furniture in good condition, large shower rooms with excellent facilities and very tidy decoration. We stayed in 203 which was a second floor room overlooking the main square. Despite this being quite vibrant at night we had no noise intrusion from the square itself, no intrusion from either adjoining rooms or the common areas of the hotel. the hotel has a large library on the second floor with some extraordinary books in it, a wonderful place to while away some spare time. The hotel has a roof top pool which tends to be out of the sun quite a lot and a small terrace and has good reception areas where people tend to congregate for a coffee and general hanging around. The restaurant has a reasonable light menu at comparatively good prices, its a pleasant dining experience at lunch off dinner and that staff are competent, extremely pleasant . The hotel itself is well cared from given its age, it is considered luxury although I would not say it was particularly luxurious, but its a very competent place, with what we found were great staff, friendly, helpful and it provided us a real home from home for the three days we were there. Check out is 12.00 which is good by European standards and on the right day its a half hour from the airport, 20 minutes from the Panama Canal attraction via taxi and about 15 minutes cab ride from the new city once you get tired of wandering its narrow streets. I would recommend it. There are two other newer options which we did not visit and which have only opened in 2023 which are probably more expensive than the American Trade Hotel but given that we used it as a base I’m not sure it would be worth upgrading or looking for anything better for our purposes. generally very happy with the service here.…
