Un excellent rapport qualité-prix pour un séjour fonctionnel et idéalement placé au cœur de Palerme.
Pros:

L'hôtel Columbia est parfaitement situé, proche de tout ce qu'il y a à voir à Palerme, tout en restant très calme. Le personnel est vraiment sympathique et accueillant. Quant au petit-déjeuner, il est correct et offre pas mal de diversité, avec un choix essentiellement axé sur le sucré.

Cons:

La chambre est assez sommaire et le mobilier n'est plus de première jeunesse. La décoration et les équipements mériteraient un petit rafraîchissement pour être plus au goût du jour, mais l'ensemble reste propre, fonctionnel et parfaitement conforme aux photos présentées sur le site, donc sans mauvaise surprise.

Semi-good.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and the hotel wasn't noisy.

Cons:

The bathroom shower was old and rusty and coming off the wall. The mirror in the bathroom was very rusty and everything was old looking. It was a little depressing.

Só a localização salva
Pros:

O hotel é antigo e fica muito bem localizado. Fiquei em dois quartos diferentes, no primeiro só tinha cortina de plástico no box e molhava todo o banheiro, o segundo tinha box, mas a descarga não funcionava. Colchão desconfortável e ar condicionado antigo e barulhento que funcionava só quando queria. O café da manhã é gostoso e variado.

Cons:

Colchão, ar condicionado e banheiro

Posizione fantastica, struttura datata
Pros:

Posizione comodissima e centralissima
Staff molto gentile
A colazione cornetti freschi

Cons:

Struttura datata, soprattutto i bagni
Le foto di Booking della colazione non corrispondono alla verità (yogurt, vassoi di pietanze, salato abbondante riportato nelle foto non presente in realtà)
Nella nostra stanza assenti alcune cose che erano presenti in descrizione, ad esempio il frigobar

Pros:

Nous étions au 3° étage alors que nous avions réservé dès janvier.
Chambre pas tres grande.

Cons:

Le plus compliqué au départ a été de garer la voiture le soir avant que nous puissions la mener au garage réservé par l'hôtel le lendemain.
