City centre location. Reasonable choice in breakfast. Friendly staff

Small bed, location was very good. No real complaints. Not expensive, so it was alright.

SIMON, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location.

Great location in Palermo, central to all sights, shops and restaurants. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Room clean and spacious. Continental breakfast adequate (I'm a vegetarian.) Would definitely recommend and return to this hotel.

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is cleaner than many 4 and 5 stars. Location is convinient too. Thank you.
Mario, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked the stay mostly because of the staff and the breakfast. My room was pretty old and not in that good of a condition. It wasn’t that clean. However, the people were nice and the surrounding area was great too.
Paras, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

Don’t stay here

Almost impossible to drive here. You must go through 4 ‘mirrors in’ back streets - two of them wrong way on a one way street - AND across pedestrian zoned street. Then no elevator, dirty pillows, bad bed, terrible stale breakfast that we heard the front desk tell the breakfast person ‘we just put today’s croissant into a bag and put them out tomorrow’.
Nan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great small hotel very close to the city center of Palermo situated in a quiet street. Nice room and very good italian breakfast with excellent coffee. Friendy staff
Eric Jan, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s cheap. You pay for what you get. You get a bed, a shower, espresso in the morning, and close proximity to downtown. The AC is not great so it’s hot. Not the best night of sleep but it’s a place to put your head at night. Most importantly, it’s safe and the staff is incredibly nice. If you’re a 20-something, just trying to experience Palermo on a budget, this is a safe bet.
Derek, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent and great value hotel right in the centre of Palermo. Very good staff. I had a comfortable single room with ensuite bathroom with a good shower. Amazingly quiet for the centre of the city. Good breakfast.
Edward, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Lousy breakfast and the breakfast host made you feel uncomfortable if you went for a second cup of coffee
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Declan, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

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!

Convenience to centre of old town. Location is good
Sankalpa, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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
Samuel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff from check-in, stay, breakfast and check-out were all super stars. Pleasant, very helpful, and always available to help.

The room was clean, basic but comfortable . The staff was kind, helpful and responsive The location is perfect for exploring the historic center of Palermo.
Lorelei, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location

Next to the interesting places of the city, 15 minutes walk from railway station. Nice room, limited shampoo. Friendly people willing to help you. No elevator but because I had problem walking stairs they change my room to first floor. Breakfast with a big variety of sweets.

Simple, clean hotel in a great location; all the major sites and transportation are within walking distance. The staff were very welcoming and kind. Good wifi and decent breakfast.

Great location. Breakfast less than average
Marsha, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The concierges were so friendly and helpful, the bedding and towels were clean. The location is excellent. There were some small ants and a little mold in the bathroom but for the price and the length of stay it was perfect.
Elizabeth, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property was good value for money and right in the centre. It is a bit dated and shower is a bit small but good for a few nights sleep. Breakfast is a bonus but not the freshest selection.
Diane, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really close to the centre with spacious room, comfortable bed and helpful staff. Some work going on, it doesn’t cause disruption, but means you enter through the side rather than the main entrance.
