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. ##### David John Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SIMON 20 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice hotel in the centre of town and the hotel staff very friendly ##### SIMON Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin 6 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 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. ##### Kevin Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa 18 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Lisa Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ross 2 Oct 2025 Disliked: Amenities Originally we were in room 303 which was very old and unkempt. We were moved after the second day to room 105 which was a big improvement. This property has no elevator so lots is stairs. Not for the physical challenged. ##### Ross Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ross 5 Oct 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were there a total of six days in late September. The breakfast menu was unchanging the entire time. Unexciting! In keeping with hotel policy, we requested our room to be cleaned and the maid look ALL the dirty wet towels we had placed in the shower and rehung them on the towel holders!!!! We advised the front desk and it took some convincing to get him to get us clean towels. ##### Ross Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mario 19 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is cleaner than many 4 and 5 stars. Location is convinient too. Thank you. ##### Mario Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Vilma 24 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Toilet would not flush. Toilet seat wobbled. AC(?) caused door rattling noise. Cleaning staff noisy outside. Phone did not work but staff responded promptly thru website. Very small shower area. No elevator and had to go thru 6 flights of stairs. Staff helped with luggage. Motion sensors for light unpredictable and sometimes left me in total darkness while moving around. ##### Vilma Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Paras 2 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service I liked the stay mostly because of the staff and the breakfast. My room was pretty old and not in that good of a condition. It wasn’t that clean. However, the people were nice and the surrounding area was great too. ##### Paras Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Derek 23 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities It’s cheap. You pay for what you get. You get a bed, a shower, espresso in the morning, and close proximity to downtown. The AC is not great so it’s hot. Not the best night of sleep but it’s a place to put your head at night. Most importantly, it’s safe and the staff is incredibly nice. If you’re a 20-something, just trying to experience Palermo on a budget, this is a safe bet. ##### Derek Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric Jan 16 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great small hotel very close to the city center of Palermo situated in a quiet street. Nice room and very good italian breakfast with excellent coffee. Friendy staff ##### Eric Jan Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Wendy 4 Sept 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Our room had no mini fridge as said on site.. 'each room has a mini fridge'. The shower had mold in the corners and did not drain well. You are standing in dirty water by the time you are finished showering.The breakfast was very average. No elevator and noone offered to carry our luggage down the stairs when we were checcking out.

Very good staff. I had a comfortable single room with ensuite bathroom with a good shower. Amazingly quiet for the centre of the city. Good breakfast. ##### Edward Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bobby 28 Jul 2025 1) If you are driving, pick a property outside of Palermo City, proper. The streets are extremely, narrow, unsafe and drivers don't appear to follow international driving rules and laws. 2) The GPS doesn't work reliably in town center. 3) The staff at Hotel Columbia were not very helpful and eager to assist. 4) There is not elevator in the hotel! ##### Bobby Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Declan 22 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The Hotel Columbia is perfectly located near the Quattro Canti just off the Via Maqueda. My room had a bed, a balcony, telly, a/c, and an en suite bathroom/shower. Breakfast was also included. Everything I wanted. A pleasant surprise, was that I could buy local wines, and they would put it in their fridge. Sicily has lovely white wines, too! The only negative thing, is I'd arrange airport transfers to and from the hotel myself to avoid any language barriers/confusion. ##### Declan Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Paul 20 May 2025 Lousy breakfast and the breakfast host made you feel uncomfortable if you went for a second cup of coffee ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Samuel 11 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 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 ##### Samuel Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Excelsior Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Excelsior-Palace-Hotel.h1133775.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Wagner](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Wagner.h1850105.Hotel-Information) > > [Palace Catania | UNA Esperienze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Catania-Hotels-Palace-Catania-UNA-Esperienze.h1193988.Hotel-Information) > > [La Plage Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-La-Plage-Resort.h1723708.Hotel-Information) > > [Room of Andrea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trapani-Hotels-Room-Mate-Andrea-Palazzo-Platamone.h35313325.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Esperia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Esperia.h1144973.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Timeo.h889634.Hotel-Information) > > [Ortea Palace Hotel, Sicily, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Ortea-Palace-Luxury-Hotel.h17825841.Hotel-Information) > > [Baia Azzurra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Baia-Azzurra.h2737239.Hotel-Information) > > [Panoramic Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Panoramic-Hotel.h2593343.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Catania Parco Degli Aragonesi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Catania-Hotels-NH-Catania-Parco-Degli-Aragonesi.h906111.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Villa Politi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Villa-Politi.h1220650.Hotel-Information) > > [Mazzarò Sea Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Mazzaro-Sea-Palace-VRetreats.h983846.Hotel-Information) > > [Romano Palace Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Catania-Hotels-Romano-Palace-Luxury-Hotel.h1105578.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Continental](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Continental.h1133655.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Paradiso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Paradiso.h1134809.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ipanema](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Ipanema.h1248394.Hotel-Information) > > [Boutique BnB Dolcevita](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Boutique-BnB-Dolcevita.h45942500.Hotel-Information) > > [Taodomus Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Taodomus.h1687651.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Taormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-Taormina.h2530371.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Politeama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Hotel-Politeama.h1427364.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Joli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Hotel-Joli.h1178202.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Lido Mediterranee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Lido-Mediterranee.h526009.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel Palermo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Palermo-President.h1133768.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantis Bay - VRetreats](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Atlantis-Bay-VRetreats.h985060.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hotel Palermo Centro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Mercure-Hotel-Palermo-Centro.h1145743.Hotel-Information) > > [San Paolo Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-San-Paolo-Palace-Hotel.h45802.Hotel-Information) > > [San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-San-Domenico-Palace.h54173.Hotel-Information) > > [Itria Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ragusa-Hotels-Itria-Palace.h37893990.Hotel-Information) > > [Liberty Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Catania-Hotels-Liberty-Hotel.h1068918.Hotel-Information)
