We spent a couple of nights to celebrate our tenth anniversary. The hotel is located in a very quiet neighborhood far from the hustle and bustle of the touristic area. It is nearby authentic restaurants-cafes and shops. Yes, the hotel needs some renovation... but it is really good for budget travellers (beware, Florence can be outrageously expensive!) The rooms are... More

I love the fact that it overlooked River Arno and being on the 5th floor, you could have a panaromic view of the place. The view is lovely It's just around the corner from a bus stop which also was convenient as we came by bus from the train station. The hotel is dark, they have sensor lights so the... More

We spent 2 nights with our tour group. Not 1 person in the group was happy with this hotel. The only positive about the room was that the AC worked fine. The hotel is old. Not charming old, just old and in desperate need of a remodel or at least a thorough cleaning. The bathrooms and showers are VERY small... More

Stayed here for 1 night with tour group. First things first: Location: 30 minute walk to the main centre of Florence, although this hotel is situated right in front of the river, you cant even see it, so you literally feel like you're walking forever and especially under the sun, we were drenched with sweat everytime. If you are walking... More

Our room was very dusty and we had allergic cough in there. We didn't care about hotels bad location and old age. Bathrooms condition was terrible! There were some water damage and mold. Air conditioning didn't work. Breakfast was poor and old man working in the breakfast room was very insanitary. One diner complained about croissants which were burnt black.... More

It is a very old hotel, rooms and bathrooms are quite large, but needs renovation urgently. Breakfast was very poor, basically bread and butter, a spanish lady has her purse stolen in the restaurant with all personal belongings and the Hotel offered no support. Really bad option, avoid it.

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
