1) If you are driving, pick a property outside of Palermo City, proper. The streets are extremely, narrow, unsafe and drivers don't appear to follow international driving rules and laws. 2) The GPS doesn't work reliably in town center. 3) The staff at Hotel Columbia were not very helpful and eager to assist. 4) There is not elevator in the hotel!

The Hotel Columbia is perfectly located near the Quattro Canti just off the Via Maqueda. My room had a bed, a balcony, telly, a/c, and an en suite bathroom/shower. Breakfast was also included. Everything I wanted. A pleasant surprise, was that I could buy local wines, and they would put it in their fridge. Sicily has lovely white wines, too! The only negative thing, is I'd arrange airport transfers to and from the hotel myself to avoid any language barriers/confusion.

Right where you want to be, location wise. Bed was comfy. The whole place needs some work, but they are doing it! The problem is that they start at 630 am and continue till 6 at night. Staff was great. I'm sure this place will be top notch when they're done with the construction

Plus: excellent location. Good value for money. Plenty of hot water. Good size room with nice view. Historical building with high ceilings. Comfortable bed. This place has potential. Minus: staff not very helpful ...a bit of a sicilian version of Fawlty Towers. The shower was full of mould and the toilet seat was broken. Squeaky bed...not great for a romantic weekend.

All the basics you need in a perfect location. Staff friendly and helpful with excellent English support. Front desk open all day. Air conditioning. Small basic room, clean with wifi, TV and private bathroom. Had a tiny balcony for standing only. Apart from some construction in the morning, the room was quiet, even so close to the main areas. Single towel with exchange every couple days. Rooms appear to be converted from a normal apartment building. You'll need to get used to some quirks. You'll get a physical key rather than key card. For the electricity to work, you need to realize there is a small keyhole in the wall near the door and the key needs to be inserted and turned to activate the electricity. Since the lights don't work until this is done, the door needs to be closed, locked with the key in the dark room, and the keyhole found and the key inserted and turned, also in the dark. Threw me off at first, but I soon got the hang of it. The light from a cell phone is enough to easily see for doing this. Other quirks include figuring out how to flush the toilet. Likely standard in the area, but simply pushing the button to flush the toilet did not work. It was required that the button be repeatedly pumped in quick succession, and then everything worked very fine with no problems at all. Still, this took even longer to figure out. If you don't mind a few quirks, and are looking for a basic and reasonably priced room right right in center of the old town, quite good.
