I traveled with my tour group and stayed in Hotel Columbus for 2 days. I really liked the location - just 15 minutes from the city center with Florence sights. I bought accommodation BB, and very like breakfasts - the food was simple but varied and delicious cooked. Hotel staff was friendly. It's true about the fact that the repair... More

Fortunately, I spent only 1 night in the hotel. I traveled with a tour group and I can say that all the breakfasts in this tour were bad. Though in this hotel the breakfast was almost ok (nothing hot to eat, no eggs, but at least some cheese and ham and pretty good croissants). The location was fine to me,... More

Warm and friendly atmosphere are the two buzz words for this hotel. We stayed for two nights with two small kids and the staff really went out of their way to help make our stay as pleasant as possible. Walking distance from the centre of town at an affordable price and close to the Arno river, away from the hussle... More

Warm and friendly atmosphere for this family-owned hotel with a charming "retrò" flavour. Located at 15min walking distance from Florence city centre, it is the perfect stay for those who look for an authentic florentine experience, far from those posh and design accomodations, at an affordable price. I have been there for a long weekend with my boyfriend and we... More

Stayed here for 2 nights in June. Read what all the other reviewers say, and then look for a better place to stay. This place is truly a dump.

Fortunately I've spent only one night in this hotel (the last!) together with my girlfriend. I wonder how it can be possible to assign four stars to this bad hotel. First of all the external: the building is old and not maintained, it seems that since it was built it has not been handled. The reception is quite acceptable (but... More

The secret is the roof top deck. We stopped by stores and the market and bought supplies for picnic dinners. You can watch the sunset over Florence and eat your fill of meat, cheese, and wine!

I am in the travel business since 1970, that means 41 years travelling a lot. I never been guest and that kind of hotel. Horrible in all aspects. Since that I never use the same tour operator in Europe that booked us in that depressing hotel. I wonder who gave 4 falling stars to that place????
