I love this hotel VERY much. I want to start with the staff. They were all very helpful and accommodating! The breakfast staff were so impressive (they also worked at dinner time). They worked hard at meeting our needs and provided us a beautiful breakfast (and the view as you can see from this photo was amazing too)! The bacon and pancakes were our favorite and we had them every day! Ivan and Basharat stood out as leaders and really worked hard to make sure everything was spot on! Rooms are small but very comfortable and we had everything we need. My bathroom was updated, but my Mother's was a bit older with a terrible "sour" sewer smell that made her entire room smell (4th floor next to the elevator - if you are facing the elevator it is the one on the left). Regarding hotel linens: I really wish you would switch to white comforters and sheets. I felt like the decorated comforters with the big buttons sewn on were too heavy and when they are not white, I can not tell if they are clean. I requested a blanket to use instead and they brought me another matching comforter with the buttons - ;). I feel like white bedding should be a standard in the hotel industry. All of our bedding in the hotels and Airbnb's throughout Italy that we stayed in had white bedding. Other than that, this hotel is very charming and perfectly located. We just walked to the restaurants, gelato shops, coffee shops, shopping, etc. Just perfect in that way. Front desk staff were very helpful and friendly! We loved Hotel Columbia and we will be back again (I hope) some day!
