The budget Hotel Panda is a small property located in a fantastic location on a luxury shopping street close to the Spanish Steps and a metro station. The hotel occupies two floors of a 19th-century building, and its 28 guest rooms are basic but spotless, with a charming, Old World feel. Room size varies widely: Some are
quite spacious, while others can be cramped, plus some have shared bathrooms located in the hallways. Budget travelers might also want to check out the centrally located Hotel Adriano, which offers more features like an on-site bar, fitness center, and

Scene
A small budget hotel with Old World charm
Hotel
Panda is located on a charming pedestrian street lined with many luxury boutiques and sidewalk cafes. It occupies the first
and second floors of an atmospheric building dating back to the early
19th-century, with high ceilings, narrow corridors, and a few sculptures
and friezes decorating its walls and hallways. The tiny reception
area is located in a hallway on the second floor and is made up of
not much more than a sofa and a reception counter squeezed into a corner. The elevator, reached via a flight of stairs, is small, and it can be a challenge to squeeze in two passengers along with luggage. The
corridors are narrow, with high ceilings and sculptures set in
niches above the doorways. Apart from the tiny reception area, there
are no common areas like a breakfast room or a rooftop terrace where
guests can meet and mingle. This is a popular hotel with
budget-minded travelers, and most of the guests who stay here are
couples visiting Rome's historical and cultural sights.
Location
On a charming pedestrian street near the Spanish Steps
Hotel
Panda is located on Via del Croce, a charming pedestrian street known
for its many high-end luxury boutiques like Versace, which is located
just across the street. There are many cafes, bars, restaurants,
ice-cream parlors, and a grocery store within walking distance of the
hotel. It's a three-minute walk to the famous Spanish Steps. The Spagna metro
station is a five-minute walk away, giving easy access around the city, plus many buses stop nearby.- One-minutewalk to Via del Corso shopping street
Rooms
Spotlessly clean rooms with a charming, old-fashioned style
The
single, double, and triple rooms at Hotel Panda are spotlessly clean, with simple, charming decor that includes details like terra-cotta floors, oak doors, rustic furniture, wood-paneling,
exposed wooden rafters, and decorative wrought-iron railings on
the windows. Red comforters on the beds add a splash of color to bare white walls. Some rooms have balconies opening to an inner
courtyard or windows with a street view. Some of the rooms are quite small and can feel cramped,
with little space available for more than two people and their
luggage, while others are more spacious, including duplexes connected by a narrow staircase. The bathrooms tend to be
small with cramped shower cabins. Eight of the guest rooms do not
have en-suite bathrooms, but do have sinks and shared bathroom
facilities located in the hallways instead (shared with only one
other room). There are few in-room amenities, which are limited to air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi.
Features
Free Wi-Fi and discount vouchers for breakfast
Hotel
Panda does not have any common areas and offers few extra features
and services. A free Wi-Fi connection is available throughout the
hotel. There is no breakfast served on-site, but discount vouchers can
be sold to guests for a basic Italian breakfast of orange juice, a
hot drink, and a croissant at a nearby bakery. Staff can provide free
city maps, tourist information, and a wake-up service. They can also
arrange airport transportation and private parking for an extra fee.
