Our recent trip to Florence was again enhanced by staying at this wonderful, centrally located hotel. The refurbished rooms are excellent and the delicious coffee and breakfasts ensured a good start to our day. As always, the family who run the hotel went out of their way to help us, particularly Rosanna for whom nothing seems to be too much trouble. I am delighted to recommend Hotel Columba.

We stayed at Hotel Columba in the first week of November. We knew this was a family run hotel and knew that it was not a luxury accommodation. We arrived there early morning and our room was not ready. We were very early and didn't expect our room to be ready for a while. Rosanna took our luggage and let us rest in a very nice sitting area. Within an hour of our arrival our room was ready! It was a very nice and CLEAN room and attached washroom. Very very big and spacious for Europe standards. It was in front of the reception and we had heard it could get noisy, but we really wanted to check in and rest. I have to say, we stayed there for 5 nights and only were disturbed by a little bit of noise on the last night. The rest of the time, we didn't even notice that we were in front of the reception. Rosanna and her family were wonderful to us and always made us feel welcome. Something you don't get at many of the 'big' hotels. They also had free internet access and an area with lots of books and magazines. Overall a very nicely organized hotel. The breakfast was wonderful as well. The hotel staff was always very very pleasant.

If you are looking for a great location close to everything, clean and spacious room at a very very reasonable rate, this is the place to stay. I would go back if I ever visit Florence again.

Thank you Rosanna, family and staff. You made our experience very memorable.

Stayed here for 3 nights in September - we were given a room on the 3rd floor, one floor up from the rest of the rooms which we accessed through a fire door then walked through what was, in fact, somebody's sitting room where a teenager was studying a lot of the time then into our room. We found this bizarre.

The hotel was fine, nothing special. The shower in the bathroom was pretty bad. Breakfast wasn't up to much either.

The staff were friendly enough and the location was good but I wouldn't be rushing back, we found it a bit odd overall.

Great little 3 star property in the heart of Florence - close to all the main attractions, mostly within walking distance, airy and spacious rooms, fantastic breakfasts and gracious and friendly staff,- nothing is too much trouble for Rosanna and her Hotel Colomba family - excellent value, we can highly recommend this property and look forward to a return visit
