Hotel Panorama

This is an excellent place to stay in central Olbia. It is close to bus services, train stations, ferry connections and excellent restaurants. To find your way to the hotel, I strongly recommend that you spend some time on Google street maps (street view), so finding it in the narrow lanes is very easy. If you take Bus No2 from the airport (cost 1 euro prepaid, 1.50 on the bus), disembark on Via Mameli near the train crossing and then walk about 500 metres to the hotel. At this time, Covid 19 precautions were still being enforced, so FFP2 masks are required at all times moving around the hotel. Check in was very relaxed and efficient and the lift nearby to my room was easy to access. The lift only allows single occupation or family occupation, so mixing with strangers is not allowed. My room was very clean and well presented. It had excellent ensuite facilities and the double glazing was very efficient in keeping outside noise levels down. Access to the room is by card, holding it to the outside reader plate for two readings and then the door will be able to be opened. Electricity only works within the room once the card is inserted in the slot above the switches. There is aircon in the room, activated by programming the small panel. There is a kettle and cups in the room for making oneself a hot drink. There is a small fridge, with mini bar items inside, but there was room for a few items of your own Breakfast in the downstairs dining room was very well organised, with Covid procedures in place. A member of staff served you with the items of your choice, from what would have been a buffet area. I thought the choices were good/varied and the standard of food presented good for a light/medium breakfast. I note that someone in the past had complained about the quality of the breakfast, but I feel this was unfair. The coffee with breakfast was excellent! The staff throughout the hotel were outstanding in their friendliness, helpfulness and efficiency.

Some early hours arrival of noisy guests

The hotel is in the old town centre, near the main pedestrianised street of Olbia which has many restaurants and bars. Good breakfast with ample choice of hot and cold food. The hotel has two small parking lots nearby (BEFORE you reach the hotel, make sure to notice them), where parking is free for guests. It has a very nice terrace at the to, where you can sunbathe or just take in the view of the whole city and the gulf of Olbia.

Even on the fifth floor, the cobblestones in the road below make quite a racket when a vehicle transits over them - which is not very often to be fair, but it is noticeable at night. Maybe better soundproofing of the windows would help.

We had a fabulous stay at Hotel Panorma. The customer service was absolutely outstanding, thank you to each and every staff member; their politeness, willingness to help and enthusiasm was very much appreciated They recommended a boat trip, for one day of our holiday, and it was a gorgeous experience. They also gave us a great recommendation for dinner. A fantastic location; a hidden gem with lovely eateries very close by. Reception ordered a taxi, for us to the airport, on our departure day. It arrived at 11.45am, we went through airport security by 11.58am! Efficiency at its best! The spa facility is slightly overpriced. Apart form that,10/10 for everything else.

Lovely spot in the centre of old Olbia - staff very friendly and accommodating. Lovely old building with amazing roof terrace. Room was nice with a fabulous view. Breakfast was very nice with everything you would want.

Few small things detracted - only one set of towels in the room, difficult to figure out how to turn heat off and no glasses in the room. A little attention to detail would make this better.

We really liked the hospitality of the staff, right from the time we arrived through to our departure. They helped with several issues including printing and scanning documents. Breakfast was also very good and we looked forward to it every morning. The view out over the city on our first morning in Sardinia was breath-taking.

We would have like drinking glasses in the room in addition to the coffee cups. Since we just snack in the evening after a big midday lunch we would like more space in the fridge for our snack and less hotel drinks.

Perfect hotel for a short stay in the heart of Olbia. Very friendly efficient staff and a great roodtop solarium with exceptional views of Olbia.

Directions to parking via Giusepi Gabrialdi show street as green 'access allowed' if you turn right coming out of parking when it is actually restricted. Also on arrival to parking should say 'ignore the restricted access sign' because we were unable to get to the parking until we ignored it and found out later that the first section up to the parking area is allowed.

The staff were exceptional - they upgraded our room at no extra charge (we did not ask for this), they offered to reserve a taxi to the airport for us for the following morning, and when they learned we would be leaving prior to their complimentary breakfast being served they offered to open earlier! The guest room was very spacious and elegant. The location was walking distance to many nice restaurants. Should we return to the area, this will be our first choice as to where to stay.

All was up to par - we have no criticisms.

Great staff, really helpful in every aspect of our trip. Great roof terrace, great location, good parking. Live the fact that they had a partnership with the restaurant next door which meant we still got good food during Covid restrictions. Rooms super clean, breakfast was quite good, when Pamela did the scrambled eggs they were phenomenal!! We have another long stay and will not hesitate to use this very friendly hotel again! See you soon guys.

WiFi in my room kept dropping out a lot. Was ok if I moved near the door but could not WhatsApp call in bed. The beds are not very good because they push two singles together, mattresses ok though. Street noise was a problem for me, I would suggest getting a room away from the 101, 201, 301, that road is busy right from 5am! Hot water was a problem at times but I think they just had a new boiler installed and it was having testing problems

Lovely friendly staff with helpful recommendations. Having the free parking is definitely a bonus in Olbia. Very relaxing experience and felt you could duck in and out of the old town and out of the heat to the hotel as it was so close to everything. Great bars and restaurants around, felt the standard generally in Olbia was very good when compared to Alghero.

Nothing great stay

Very easy to navigate to and around the hotel. In the center of the touristic area, so very convenient for walking to restaurants and stores. Also, very close to the airport, so it was helpful for not having to worry coming in on a late flight. 

Standing water in the bathroom has a rather pungent odor, but could be controlled after closing the doors.
