Thank you for the wonderful time I spent in your hotel! Hotel Columbia is located in the historic center, close to many tourist points. The interior of the hotel is quite authentic. Clean everywhere. The room in which I stopped, cozy, clean, beautiful interior, all the necessary amenities, hygiene products - everything is fine. In the room is enough fast wi-fi. Cleaned in the room every day, every three days changed bed-clothes and towels. Breakfasts are always fresh, varied. I would like to emphasize the hotel staff, all very friendly, delicate, always ready to help in any matter. Thanks for the great service! You are wonderful and I was happy spent my vacation in your hotel. Thanks to you, my trip was even better. To you want to come back again and I hope for a new meeting.
What an amazing find. Tucked away a few yards from one of the main streets of Palermo. There is a lot of renovation being carried out in the area but don't let this put you off, the hotel is a little gem and the staff couldn't be more friendly or helpful. The room was lovely and perfectly adequate for our stay. We arrived on the night train from Naples and they allowed us to check in immediately and although our room wasn't ready were happy for us to leave our cases and go off for an hour for s coffee while they prepared our room. On return they had put our cases in our room and we were able to shower and relax after our journey. Breakfast was a typical Italian breakfast with more than enough selection. A definite recommendation!
Hotel Columbia is but a step away from the busy historical centre.........and worth a stay despite the shabby street access (it`s being renovated). Our room was on the 3rd floor (no lift), wth good air conditioning and wi-fi. The shower was tiny, with a broken shower fastening, although water flow was decent, and the water hot. Security was excellent, and the staff pleasant. Would stay again
Tucked away from the main street is Hotel Columbia. Perfect spot close to all the amenities and the sights of Palermo. Rooms are very comfortable with ensuites. Staff are extremely helpful with lots of local knowledge. Be aware no lift. Would highly recommend.
Stayed for 4 nights and this hotel is ideal to visit all the sights by walking. The outside approach down a narrow street is untidy and entryway is by what looked like was originally a side door, but inside this hotel is very good, our room (105) was old fashioned but a good size and everything worked (even the WiFi for most of the time) Room was serviced daily and unlike some hotels which have a notice in the bathroom that the towels are not changed to help the environment but still do change them - this hotel has the notice and keeps to it. Good Italian breakfast, friendly helpful staff makes this hotel a good choice. The downside was we were affected by music noise from nearby bars. Also our airport transfer taxi because of the pedestrian areas around the hotel could not get close to the hotel and we had to walk a short distance. We arrived on a Sunday and this was an even longer walk but the driver helpfully guided us. We would recommend this hotel and our length of stay was perfect to see Palermo which is a beautiful vibrant city.
The location of the hotel is excellent, a short walk from all the attractions. It is just off the Via Maqueda (which is excellent for really feeling the vibe of Palermo). All the staff are very helpful and share their knowledge of Palermo) The hotel is clean and bedrooms made up every day to a high standard. The bathrooms are small but have everything needed. Breakfast is ok, you will be full. Just felt the offer could be improved with regard to higher quality, but saying that this is a two star hotel. As other reviewers have said the Wifi is very flakey (we couldn't get it in our bedroom) and lastly through no fault of the hotel (the laws in Palermo need changing) there are two bars that are very noisy so ask for a quiet room as the music can go on until 2am) All in all I would stay there again for its location/staff/cleanliness
A very centrally situated small hotel even though the access from Via Maqueda is via a narrow shabby side street - offering complimentary wifi (which sometimes weak) and a good Italian breakfast. The hotel is very well maintained and very clean and safe. The staff are fluent in English and very polite - I would definitely stay there if I ever visited Palermo again
The main draw for me is the location of this hotel. It's located just off the main street, only a short walk from the Quattro Canti and couldn't really be more central for exploring Palermo. It's also not too far to walk from the train and bus station. The staff were friendly, spoke great English and welcomed us with a complimentary drink upon arrival which was nice after a very hot walk from the train station. Our room was a good size and clean with a comfy bed. We really enjoyed the breakfast buffet each day and there was a great selection of items from cereal, pastries, toast, cheese and meats along with juices and hot drinks. I'd definitely stay here again when visiting Palermo!
I'm afraid I can't write entirely positively about Hotel Columbia. Certainly it has charm and is well located, but the rooms need a facelift, the breakfast is nothing special (watered down juice) and the wifi in our room was barely functional.
Very comfortable room for the price. Helpful and obliging staff who catered to all our requirements. The reception staff were very pleasant and made us feel welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. Only problem was that breakfast was not available as early as advertised and the waiter made no effort to speed things up. The food was good when it arrived! Very good location within easy walking distance of the main sights.
