Hotel Colombia

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.

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.

The hotel is 5 min walk from the train station. It is off the main road where there are plenty of buses and trams. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. The hotel is very clean. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was superb. Nothing is a problem. Good recommendations for restaurants and directions. The bathroom has nice hot water with plenty of towels. There is a kettle and fridge in the room. For a tea drinker that is great. I loved that I could open the window for fresh air. Probably my favourite hotel out of 4 that I stayed at this trip.

Great and very friendly staff! Staff at the front desk was exceptional. Very delicious breakfast with fruits, cheese, italian salami, toast, vegetables, eggs and freshly baked cakes/sweets. Fresh espresso. Nicely decorated breakfastroom and hotel bar. Room interior design is a little bit old fashioned, but very clean. Hotel is a short walk away from Central Station. It is close to all the sightseeing spots, Metro stations and restaurants. 30min walk by foot to the duomo.

Good sized room. Shower is clean with good water pressure Bedroom slipper provided Breakfast spread has a good variety of fruits, yoghurt, nuts, eggs and breads. And lovely ladies that serce macchiato and cappucino
