The hotel was clean, the location was great, and the staff was very friendly. Unfortunately, there were a few issues that affected our stay. The bed was not comfortable at all, the AC unit was not working properly, and the shower was extremely small. Overall, the hotel had some positives, but these issues made the stay less comfortable than expected.

We enjoyed the location of the property and liked how we were able to walk to plenty things around us. I will say we got in late one night with my sister as she needed to use the restroom. The staff came knocking on the door not even 30 seconds later and said the room was only for two people which i was aware of. They said she needed to leave within two minutes and exactly two minutes later they were pounding on the door again saying she needed to leave. I think this was the only issue we had with the listing. I didn't like that i was being watched. All in all, I wouldn't book here again because of this. Room was nice and clean.

The hotel is located in a quiet street, and is near lots of restaurants. My room was fine for one night, smallish, with a single bed, and clean. The AC functioned well, but the TV had no English language channels. I missed out on breakfast as I had to leave early to make my flight. So I would recommend the Columbia for travelers to Palermo.

We were welcomed on arrival and staff were friendly. Breakfast was continental buffet and adequate for our needs. Served 7.30-10 and on our second morning whilst nearly finishing our breakfast at 10 to 10 staff pointed to the sign which made us feel we shouldn’t be there. The room was adequate, two twin beds, air conditioning and bathroom. The bathroom was sort of clean but the shower cubicle tiles and sealant was mouldy. The plastic water cup was filthy and obviously not been checked or cleaned in a while. There was a small high window that you had to stand on to open. Overall the hotel which was adequate for sleeping, it’s location was quiet and close to tourist areas and felt really safe.

The staff were very accommodating and nice. The hotel is kept clean and they will give you anything that you ask for, as needed. (Just ask) A lot of construction going on in the area, it can make getting anywhere a little difficult, but you can navigate it with a little practice. Breakfast was good with a few choices that seem to follow Italian custom. It's charming inside and everyone is nice.

The best part was the help and friendliness of the front desk staff. In particular Guiseppe was extremely nice and courteous. He provided all the information and answered all my questions promptly. My only difficulty was that I could not get picked up in front of the hotel since the road was not available for all cars. The breakfast buffet was very well done. I would definitely go back again.

The hotel is basic but rooms are clean, bed comfortable and the staff generally helpful. The breakfast is very poor indeed and leaves a lot to be desired - but this is not a problem given the price. You cannot expect 5 star luxury for the price of a 2 star. Also the hotel does not have a lift so not suitable for anybody with mobility issues.

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.

The building is quite old, with beautiful architecture and some quality antique bedroom furniture. There is no lift, but no problem! I am not the fittest person and this was noticed so my suitcase was carried up to the room - by a very polite young man called Marco who should go far in the hospitality trade. A very quiet location, even though it is only a stone's throw from Via Maqueda, one of the busiest streets in Palermo's historic centre. All in all, a great find - well done Expedia.

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
