What this hotel lacks in ambiance and decor it makes up for in service and cleanliness. The woman at the front desk was very hospitable upon check-in. She spoke English and provided us with a map of Florence and highlighted all the best sights in the area. We ended up using that map quite a bit, since it was a... More

We are a group of 4 (2 couples) and stumbled across Hotel Colomba through a travel article in a local Australian newspaper in early 2011. Whilst the review was complementary, the added bonus for us was it's Australian connection being Rosanna. Having visited Florence some 15 years ago and knowing the logistics, I was keen to find a hotel close... More

Stayed for two nights in January 2012 with my husband and teen daughter. Our second stay at Hotel Colomba (our first was back in summer 2007) was as good as the first time. Great location, spacious bedroom, super clean and quiet. Our hosts were great as always and I will keep recommending this place over and over again. If you... More

...to what others have said. A great place to stay: central location friendly and hospitable family run business spacious rooms (we had 3x single beds) quiet (apart from a humming noise, which probably came from the other hotel above) decent breakfast (the only thing we missed was 'real' juice, without sugar). If we go back to Florence, we would surely... More

We stayed 2 nights here from December 21-23. The rooms are very large for Europe and extremely clean. The hotel is on one floor of a large building. Like another reviewer said, you enter the building downstairs and wonder what you have got yourself into. But you take a very small elevator up (or walk) to the second floor and... More

I stayed here with my husband for 4 nights in December 2011. Hotel Colomba is a gem. The hotel is family run, and the location (5 minutes to the Duomo) cannot be beat. In addition, it is a block from Lorenzo the Magnificent's palace, and on top of one of the Da Vinci museums. The reception area is on the... More

Unbelievable!!! It cost us just under $900.00 American dollars for 9 nights here and it was one of the reasons we stayed so long in Florence. We originally intended to stay in Florence for 5 nights and have a week extra for Paris but we enjoyed our stay hugely in part due to this hotel that we extended our stay... More

We picked this hotel and stayed for four days in June. We ended up arriving a whole day early and they fit us it. The breakfast is the best we had in Italy (and we stayed in 5 different hotels throughout our stay), and they pre-booked our hard to get tickets to see David and our winery tour. Seriously? Stay...

The room was good-sized for a European hotel, and there was even an elevator. The location is great; you can easily walk to the main sites in Florence, and the train station, too (a 10-15 minute walk). Staff was friendly and spook English well. A good value. More
