Hotel Panama  

The location is great - near the city center that can be reached by foot or by a small bus ( approx. 10 min.) . The staff was excellent: very willing to help, warm and efficient and they speak English and Franch. Rooms and shared places were very clean. The terrace for taking the breakfast was very nice : it was out- door and you could just hear the birds singing in the early morning. It has many facilities: a computer with free internet connection in the hall, umbrellas, bikes and books in French, English and Italian along with the daily newspaper were available. I appreciated the fact that they were selling bus tickets at 1.2 euros ( in the bus the price is 2 euros) for 90 minutes.

The bath tub was small for the single room. There are no shops nor restaurants in the nearby area.

The staff were so friendly and very helpful. Wi-fi was so easy to access. The breakfast was worth it. The cleanliness and set up of rooms was great considering how cheap it was. We went there for the marathon and they were happy to put out breakfast from 0630 for us.

The staff (I had the privilege of meeting the owner and his son) are deeply committed to making your stay comfortable. Even though it is definitely a well established hotel, the sense of pride the owner takes in welcoming you and meeting your needs, makes it feel like staying with friends. I highly recommend this hotel.

I was sad to leave. I would also recommend asking for a room facing the courtyard too if you are sensitive to noise.

Very polite and helpful personnel. Nice breakfast.

Very small and inconvenient bathroom

It is a family run hotel and the owner Mr. Igino is very welcoming and helpful. He is very informative about Florence and gave us very good tips about the city. About the hotel, the rooms are really spacious for a 3 star hotel. It has got a very home-like feeling to it. Very close to the SMN railway station. Highly recommended for families and couples.

We just missed having eggs in the breakfast, everything else was nice.

Hotel Panama was literally within walking distance of everything in Florence. The room was large and clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff was incredible...always helpful and professional, and had lots of tips about getting around town and where to eat...an amazing value for the service and amenities!

Reasonably priced, pleasant staff.

The room was tiny and the bed only suitable for a child. The air conditioning was loud and not very effective. There was no other available. Also, I had to return a day early and gave 60 hours notice of this but was charged for the last night. I would recommend but not for a single room.

Frielndly staff, nice room, good breakfast

A nice hotel with a kind of a house atmosphare

1) free bike, 2) the room was big

the shower was horrible: 1) a small confined area isolated from a 'big' bathroom by windows, 2) water was leaking out into the bathroom floor after the shower, 3) there is automatic lamp (!) in the bathroom that turns off when you are in the shower; from time to time you should open the door (this is 'not' when water leaks into the floor!) and wave your hand in order to be caught by the sensor, otherwise you are in complete darkness....the staff help you for booking for the museum if you show insistence.

We enjoyed our stay in the hotel very much. It is a very peaceful place in the city of Florence, a mile or so from the historic centre, and has the feel of being in the country. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was large enough and well-equipped, and had a balcony which overlooked a small patio area with jasmine and other flowers. It was a pleasure to sit out in the evening and relax with a glass of wine. The parking is invaluable, as it is very difficult to find a space on the street, and all cars have to be cleared twice a week for street cleaning. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a place to stay in the city.

Benevolent helpful personnel. Cosy house atmosphere. A quiet place in city centre. A cosy court yard.

Well maintained, despite being a pretty old building.
