HOTEL PANDA * *
A well located address, between Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo, which offers fair prices for the district.
In a late 19th century building, this family structure offers the opportunity to stay in the heart of the Trident, one of Rome's most sought-after districts, between Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo. The 28 rooms, although quite small, are more than correct for the rates charged and all have air conditioning. The welcome is, moreover, very friendly! Breakfast, in addition, takes place in a pastry bar a few meters from the hotel. A good idea if you want to sleep in the centre without breaking your piggy bank too much!

At the reception desk, Mel was incredibly helpful. He gave us advice on using the train, dealing with taxis, and many other things we had questions about. He even indulged our curiosity about him as a person sharing stories about himself and Italian culture.
The hotel itself was about 3 flights of stairs up from the street with no elevator. This was a challenge with luggage, but doable.
The location is incredible. A close walk to most things you want to see. The only time we needed a taxi was when moving our luggage.
The room was a loft style. There was a queen bed downstairs, a shower partway up the stairs, and the toilet, sink, and a twin bed upstairs.
The room had a window facing a busy street. You could hear loud conversations from the restaurants on the street and the musicians entertaining the tourists. With some ear plugs and white noise, the street sounds were easily blocked out and I got good sleep. There are wood panels and curtains on the window, so if you prefer it is possible to avoid getting natural light in the room.
The shower was tiny. Probably a foot and a half square.. maybe two feet square if I'm being generous. I hit my elbows constantly as I showered. I am an average height average/for build and I was able to shower, but, for example, shaving my legs would have been impossible. A larger person would not be able to shower.
The toilet room is separate from the sink and has a bidet.
Overall, I thought this was a very good hotel and a very good location. I would stay there again on my future trips to Rome, but I would plan better for the slight inconveniences.
Regarding breakfast, I cannot recommend more highly the cafe called Dami. A short walk down the block, but very good espresso (I'm a snob about coffee), and very good pastries.
Отличное расположение отеля. Комната и душевая маленькие, но есть все необходимое. Хорошое обслуживание. Есть кофе и чай в лобби. Очень рекомендую отель!
The room met my expectations, offering both a king-sized and a single bed, ideal for a party of two. Storage is also decent with a provided wardrobe. However, the absence of a table and chairs as well as a finicky hairdryer could be potential drawbacks for some travelers.
One caveat: If you've got heavy luggage, prepare yourself for a bit of a climb, as the hotel lacks an elevator and our room was situated on the third floor.
One final note: If you're looking for dining options, you'll find plenty in the area. However, I would caution against dining at the adjacent Ristorante - Re Degli Amici, as their lack of transparent pricing was a disappointment.
