Hotel Colombia

The hotel is located in close proximity to Milano Central Station, with lots of restaurants, cafes and shops around. The room is large, and has almost everything necessary. We had a room at the ground floor and it was shady and very pleasant. The breakfast was excellent and the staff very kind! Thank you. Grazie!

The location of the hotel is excellent – right next to the train station, yet tucked away on a small side street. If your windows face the street and you leave them open, it can be quite noisy -take with you ear plugs. As is common in big cities, the hotel is small and a bit worn, but overall well-maintained and clean. The staff were kind and helpful. Most importantly, the bed was comfortable, the linens were clean, and everything in the bathroom worked properly. Of course, there are signs of wear and tear, and although the hotel is rated four stars, one shouldn’t expect the full comfort typically associated with that rating. But it’s perfect if you’re in the city for work and need a safe, clean, and comfortable place to sleep. Breakfast was also more than sufficient – not to be compared to large luxury hotels, but the selection was decent, fresh, and included fruit. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay.

I was using Hotel Columbia as a stopover on a train journey down to Naples, getting in late evening, and leaving first thing the next morning. The location was ideal, very close to Milano Centrale. As requested, the Hotel gave me a room at the back, which was very peaceful in spite of the central location. I slept very well. The simple single room had everything I needed, and was immaculately clean. Good strong shower. Lovely friendly staff. As a woman travelling alone, I felt welcome and secure, which is important to me. I only wish I could have stayed longer. Thank you

The hotel doesn’t look much from the outside but it feels totally different as you walk up the red carpet and into a modern hallway. The staff dress traditionally and it feels like stepping into a hotel of quality. Although the rooms have modern card access, the hanging keys and the room pigeon holes behind the desk add to a feeling of ‘the way it was’ and the staff treat their guests with respect and are friendly and helpful. The room was clean and contained all that we needed for our stay. There was an electric blind at the window to allow you to allow in the amount of sun and light you chose. There was also a mini fridge in the room containing bottles of water. These were chargeable but you could put your own water, or wine, in the fridge. The bathroom was a good size although the shower area was not big. The power of the shower was excellent. Our room was at the front of the hotel and you could hear noise outside during the night. It was okay for us but might bother others. With the blind open we could also see the neon hotel sign but with the blind shut it wasn’t an issue. The hotel has a nice bar area and a pretty courtyard garden which we used as we found the evenings were warm. The breakfast was continental buffet style and was very good. The location of the hotel was particularly good for a flight in from Bergamo airport and had easy access to transport to all areas. The public transport runs until early hours of the morning and It felt safe outside at night. Obviously you need to be sensible, but as a mum and daughter away together this was a big factor. We really enjoyed our stay here and would come again.

It was a joy to spend a week at Hotel Colombia. A long established family runs the hotel with friendliness and attention to every detail. They care deeply about design which has resulted in an elegant, modern atmosphere filled with inspiring art. The nearby metro and tram make it easy to get anywhere in the city. The rooms (perfectly ironed sheets!) are celevery designed and include a long desk that has two chairs. Breakfast is sumptuous, filled with cakes, breads, many fresh fruits, cheeses ( you slice your own!!) and individually made espresso or cappucchino. We took advantage of the gorgeous garden to eat there every morning. This hotel is unusually wonderful and I can't recommend it enough.
