“Good hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2006
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed in this hotel just for a couple of hours and I left it before breakfast time, so unfortunately I cannot comment about that service. The hotel has been totally refurbished recently and welcome its guests with a nice lobby. They have a free car park just beside the main entrance. My hotel room was nice and very clean. My only problem was with the air conditioning: we were unable to set by ourselves from the room: we had to contact the reception staff to start and stop it, but even with their help the situation didn't improve. We got a very good bargain, just 85.00 € per double room, but that was because of our late arrival and for the fact that we specified we couldn't have breakfast.

“Walk down, take a cab back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2003
9
people found this review helpful

The Panorama is a good sized hotel sometimes used by tour groups. Rates are modest for indivicual couples. A little garden off the lobby contains the true tomb of Archimedes, the Greek philosopher who figured out whey some things float and others sink. There is an enclosed parking space. Breakfast is fine. A pleasant down hill walk takes you to the great Greek theatre, the false tomb of Archimedes and the quarries where the defeated Athenians were kept (until they died) after the Athens--Syracuse war over two thousand years ago. Farther down hill you will find the Orsi Museum, the best archeological museum in Sicily. Allow a couple of hours for this well arranged place with its Italian AND ENGLISH descriptions. Thence down the Corso Gelone (also down hill) past fashionable shops past the Hotel Jolly (more expensive) where there a cab rank and a luxurious bar inside. Read your guide book for exploring the old town (Ortyggia) down between the two harbors. Although a bit out of the center, the Panorama is pleasant and clean with good facilities and the walk down hill and taxi back method worked well for us.

Per prima cosa gradivo ringraziarla, perchè le critiche giuste e corrette ci fanno solo che crescere e migliorare i servizi resi alla nostra clientela.
Gradirei però chiarire con lei dei punti che mi sembrano un pò confusi e fumosi.
Innanzi tutto l'aria calda è centralizzata e i termostati sono regolati da un computer in automatico, solo se il cliente lo richiede, si può mettere in manuale la regolazione della temperatura, e forse è ciò che è avvenuto.
Per quanto riguarda il bagno ha perfettamente ragione, infatti è previsto una ristrutturazione graduale dei sanitari che comprende anche la sostituzione degli ugelli.
Ciò che mi lascia stupito è che lei parla del "bar accanto", quel bar fa parte dell'hotel, infatti i caffè delle colazioni provvengono proprio da quel bar, perciò il caffè, sia espresso che americano, sono gli stessi.
Siccome le presenze nell'albergo, come ha potuto notare anche lei non mancano, non abbiamo certo bisogno di lasciare i cornetti vari giorni in esposizione in quanto finiscono giornalmente.
Per quanto riguarda la disponibilità di pesce fresco su prenotazione è proprio perchè se i clienti lo desiderano, possiamo controllare la disponibilità presso i nostri fornitori, che possono rifornirci entro le ore 18.00, e indicarlo ai clienti dando così un servizio personalizzato, non credo che se lei andasse in un ristorante potrebbe avere un tale servizio, ed inoltre si sa che il pesce fresco ha un costo diverso da un hamburger.
Per quanto riguarda "il praticamente tutto surgelato" non è assolutamente corretto. Come in qualsiasi ristorante, utilizziamo cibo surgelato e non, a secondo dei piatti.
Rimaniamo a sua disposizione se dovesse necessitare di ulteriori chiarimenti e porgiamo
Distinti saluti
