Our room at Hotel Columba was closest to being at home/away from home. Great built-in storage areas and shelving. Modern bathroom. Wonderful, free internet access. Fabulous help from owners, specifically Rosanna, for directions/suggestions. Literally 2 blocks from major sites--fabulous location!! Very clean and best bed of our whole trip! Highly recommend!!

The Hotel Operator - Rosanna - was by far the most pleasant and helpful for all of our stays in Venice , Rome and Florence. The accomodation was good and clean , and the breakfasts were again the best we had in Italy. The other staff at Colomba were also very friendly and helpful. Hotel was well situated for all the places we planned to vist. If I planned to visit Florence again, I would happily choose to stay at Hotel Colomba . One very big bonus for us was that Rosanna had lived in Australia , so was helpful in our needs for finding our way around . She made our stay a real pleasure.

We stayed here for 3 nights, and were extremely impressed by the service, location and quality of the room. It was a terrific value at a time when the dollar was hitting record lows against the euro. Breakfast was quite delicious and the espresso was outstanding. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. As others have commented, they will make museum reservations for you, which is really a necessity to avoid long lines. Our room was right near the front desk, but it was very quiet. The AC worked very well, and the bathroom was bright and clean. Our room had two beds and was quite large. The location, within about a block and a half from the duomo, was superb. We would absolutely stay here again.

I was disppointed that the room was off a common area where people were allowed to smoke. Having booked the room awhile ago, I would have liked one that was more easily accessible to the main lobby.

Good hotel in the centre of Florence. Clean and quiet. The only reservation is the size of the elevator, but this didn't really matter. Would definitely stay again

We were given a very warm welcome & somewhere to get changed as we'd arrived early in the day. When we did get into our rooms we were pleasantly suprised at how spacious the bedrooms were & though the en suites were on the small side they were lovely & clean & fine for us. Breakfast was great - selection of cereal, warm pastries, rolls, cold meats, cheese & boiled eggs with coffees made to individual order - didn't need lunch! We only had 2 nights & wished we'd stayed longer. Location was handy for all the main sights & within easy walking distance of the central market (San Lorenzo) area where we ate. What a great city!

Our group of 5 couples were all very happy with the cleanliness of the hotel and the helpfulness of the staff, particularly Roseanna who speaks excellent English. She kindly provided extra chairs and glasses for our pre-dinner drinks meeting on the terrace leading from the room of our silver wedding couple. The breakfast was excellent, with plenty of choice: cereals, fresh fruit, ham, cheeses, yoghurts, pastries, bread, jam, fruit juices and freshly served individual coffee and tea. Don't be put off by the entrance, which is a bit dark and up several flights of stairs, but well worth the exercise! The lift is small and the door would be too narrow for wheelchair access. The hotel is well situated, on a busy road about 5 minutes stroll from the cathedral and the central city attractions. The road noise is not too bad in view of the new double glazed windows and shutters which block the sound and the bedrooms are air conditioned which means the windows can be closed for a good night's sleep. All in all a very pleasant stay. Thanks to previous guests for accurate reviews, allowing us to book with some confidence. ACME FRIENDS

Directly between the Duomo and the Accademia. Good location. Hotel staff was very friendly. Continental breakfast was nice. Free internet access !!! Lift to the Hotel (1st floor) was convenient. The bathrooms were a little on the small side, but who wants to spend their vacation in the bathrooms anyway.

A great small hotel near all the major sights in Florence.We stayed six nights and didn't want to leave. Rosanna and her family were helpful and friendly. Be sure to ask for a room away from the main street (Via Cavour), ours was quiet as a tomb.

This is the first time we have stayed here and hopefully we will come back again. Our plans changed and we had to change our booking from a triple room to 2 double rooms at the last minute and when I rang this was not a problem, in fact nothing was a problem. We were close to everything in Florence - in fact everything is just a walk away in Florence and then to come back to the hotel where the people were so helpful was a delight.
