Hotel Panama — Florence

Florence was our third city on this trip. We arrived at Hotel Panama for a 4 day stay and the owner immediately helped us plan our visits to the city. We also purchased tickets for a day-trip to Sienna from the hotel. Breakfast was just fine and coffee strong as needed. The hotel is in a very good neighborhood and close to all key points of the city. […] Florence is a walking city and the hotel allows to do so very well. Hotel Panama is clean, well kept and staff is extremely helpful. Highly recommended. Uzziniet vairāk

Recently stayed twice at the Hotel Panama. Excellent value, no negatives. Free computer is a big plus, as is the entire staff's emphasis on customer service. Room was immaculate and quiet, with ample storage, safe, and mini-fridge. Breakfast was typical and of good quality. Found free parking very close by. I've spent dozens of nights in Italian hotels, […] and this one earns my unqualified endorsement. Uzziniet vairāk

We spent very little time in the hotel - mostly just a place to sleep - but it was perfect for that. Our hotel was on the ground floor at the back of the building and was dark and quiet - great for recovering from jet lag!

My husband and I stayed here for two nights and overall had a very nice stay. We had a lovely room on the annex part of the hotel,which was just a few meters accross from the main part. It was nice and quiet and a big room with a sofa and dinning area.The only thing which let the room down was the bathroom smelt of drains.We did mention this when we […] left so hopefully they have sorted it.We probably should have said earlier,but were happy with the room otherwise. The breakfast was continental average,but ok. Uzziniet vairāk

Perfectly acceptable for a short stay car parking is tricky if you have a decent size car. Not much room for manoeuvre. Perfect place for walking into central Florence

Hotel Panama exceeded all our expectations for a typical city hotel. The free wifi, which is often a bit jammy in areas, was available in all areas of the hotel and a password was given to us before we had to ask for it. We had emailed ahead requesting to be in the annexe, which other reviewers have mentioned as a quiet area facing a courtyard. Those […] rooms were booked up, so the hotel moved us into a suite with its own private courtyard and jetted bathtub on the fourth floor. The breakfast each morning was average to good. Coffee was made to order and tasted good. (Don't expect any crazy Starbucks-esque concoctions, though.) The Saturday and Sunday morning spreads were substantially bigger and better than Monday's, which ran a bit low on croissants and cheese. We didn't use them, but the hotel also offers free bike rentals -- a great offer considering the hotel isn't in the city centre. We found the location easy to find (about 15 minute stroll from the main train station) and in a quiet neighbourhood. There aren't any small local shops nearby to pick up bottled water or wine, so expect to take a little walk. Via Nazionale was a good source of nearby food and amenities. (Mostodolce and Osteria Il Brincello, in particular!) If we ever come back to Florence, we'll definitely stay here again. Uzziniet vairāk

Excellent staff, professional but friendly and very helpful with trip advice etc. Quiet area 20 minutes walk north of the very busy and noisy city centre. Nice room exactly like the photos on the website, air conditioning very cool and a small fridge too which is good to have in 40oc+ temperatures! There's no need to open your window but if you do there […] is insect repellent in the room. WiFi was very fast and there's a nice reading area downstairs. If I were going back to Florence I would stay there again, I wouldn't look at anywhere else, a five star three star! Uzziniet vairāk

Owner of the hotel was very helpful and gave us great tips on restaurants nearby and in the city centre. We took advantage of the free pushbikes, which were useful considering the hotel was a little way out of centre. Breakfast was good, and enjoyable sitting outside.

We loved staying four nights in this lovely, small, and very charming famiy-owned hotel in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood of Florence, away from the very noisy bustle of "inner-city" Florence - within fifteen minutes walking distance to all important Florence sites. All the people working there are very kind and helpful, and our room was immaculate, […] very roomy and with all the amenities and comforts needed for a wonderful stay. We highly recommend Hotel Panama, and will stay there whenever we return to Florence. Uzziniet vairāk

Stayed at the Panama for 8 nights. Room a bit on the dark side, we were on the top floor, and overlooked the hotal car park, not an unpleasant view, plenty of trees etc, not uncomfortable at all. Bathroom adequate and together with the room cleaned well. Breakfast was included and was not bad , typical continental style. The staff were always pleasant […] and willing to help when needed. The stairway leading to the breakfast area a little bit shabby, but that is the only fault we found. We are in the 65+yr age group and the walk to the main areas of Florence could be daunting for the less fit and able, we managed fine. If you want something in a quieter area this hotel will fit your bill. Uzziniet vairāk

Hotel was not in the center of the attractions which made it feel like a place to come home to after a day of sight seeing. However, all the attractions were in walking distance from the hotel. If you didn't care to walk so much you could take the buses just outside of the hotel. The breakfast was substantial and nourishing with a great selection.

The Hotel Panama is owned and operated by a father - son team who take great pride in their business. I stayed here in November of 2011for 3 nights and had a great stay. The staff was extremely friendly and courteous. The Hotel and rooms are clean and comfortable, free in room wifi, free continental breakfast and high def cable TV. Great location in […] a quiet neighborhood less than a 15 minute walk from the main railroad station (SM) and within a 15 minute walk to the Duomo. 3 minute walk to the nearest ATM ,5 minutes to a nice little supermarket. The hotel also has same day laundry service which was a life-saver when my bottle of balsamic vinegar spilled all over my clothes inside my bag on the first day. In my opinion, this littel hotel offers one of the best values in Florence. I will definately stay here again Uzziniet vairāk

The hotel staff was very helpful, they responded to our requirements which we had indicated during the reservation.

was my first time in Florence and only had a day. The hotel staff quickly grabbed a map and plotted my day. They were great. Breakfast was wonderful! Only draw back to hotel is that there is really nothing around at night so coming back from the tourists areas it was very dark. But only 15 minute walk to train station. For one night great.

This is a decent budget choice about 15-20 minutes walk from the centre of Florence. The staff are very friendly and the breakfast is decent. The rooms are well appointed but the one I was in was quite small; probably the smallest bathroom I've ever seen in a hotel.

Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme

Globally, the hotel is fine. The staff is really helpful and always ready to help you. The rooms are clean but too small and do not have a lot of daylight. The breakfast is rather poor and quite limited. On top of it, the breakfast starts only at 7 A.M. so you miss it if you have to start work early in the morning. It is situated a bit far from the […] main attractions but if you like walking it takes only 20 minutes to downtown and to Novella train station. Overall, good hotel but it offers too little and the rooms are pricey. I have been at better hotels than this one, cheaper and closer to main attractions with more copious breakfast. I will not visit it again unless I don’t have other choice. Uzziniet vairāk

Hotel Panama is a excellent hotel if you prefer a quiet and peaceful atmosphere over the busy city centre. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. They helped us with finding our way in the city, with restaurant recommendations and tips on where to venture along after our stay in Florence. On our second night we experienced a foul smell in […] our room and complained to the staff. We had to change rooms, the staff carried our stuff to the other room and for our troubles we got a deluxe room instead =) Very much appreciated! The hotel has a free WiFi which works fine throughout the hotel. They also have a stationary computer (Mac) in the dining room. We got help with printing train tickets from the lobby, good service! The hotel breakfast is a typical Italian hotel breakfast, which unfortunately means that most of the food contain much sugars. Fortunately they have some good muesli and their coffee machine is awesome! At the back of the hotel they have a number of tables and chairs set for the breakfast. Even though some of the breakfast is not the best, in the end it is very comfortable to sit out back on a summer morning listening to the classical music played from the speakers while sipping your coffee of choice! They have bikes that you can borrow for a 20€ deposit, but we never tried them out. The hotel is about a 15 minute brisk walk or 20 minute casual walk from the main sights of the city. Close by you find the famous Gelatera de' Medici. Every night after our city adventures we stopped there for wonderful gelato! We stayed in Hotel Panama for 7 nights in July 2011. Uzziniet vairāk
