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.

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.
