We choose it primarily because it was completely non-smoking and because it was conveniently located. We were very pleased with our stay. The Rossi family were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and breakfast was perfect for our needs (fresh fruit, cereal, baked goods, meat a cheese) and included wonderful fresh brewed to order coffee.

This hotel is fantastic. Good location within walking distance of all the sights - just around the corner from the Accademia- and 15 mins from train station. Triple room was very spacious although bathroom was tiny! Staff were very helpful and spoke excellent English. Breakfast was fairly basic but home made coffees were a bonus. There is a lift available... More

The Hotel Colomba is in my mind a 5 star B and B. First, it is one of the few places that are completely non-smoking, which is the primary reason we chose it. Second, as others have noted, the location is perfect for walking to all sites of interest.The rooms are adequate in size, albeit minimalist in accessories -- for... More

I am a hotel snob- I admit it- but I could not have been happier than I was at the Hotel Colomba. The hotel is family owned and run and the family is always there and available for assistance or a chat. Both Roseann and Michele were friendly, polite and accomodating. The shining star is Sabina who works the front... More

The staff were fantastically helpful and could advise on everything with humour and efficiency. Coffee and Breakfast was a triumph and the clean rooms and consistently hot showers and fresh towels etc were a joy. The best location for everywhere and close to the station and great eating places. Made our stay in Florence easy and great fun. Rooms were... More

Clean, fresh. Family run. Friendly and helpful. Our bathroom was quite roomy for an italian hotel (and we have stayed with family in two other rooms here before that were similar size) Breakfast is simple but quie sufficient, good coffe is offered. Close to major sites, lift to hotel on 2nd floor makes it good for older tourists. Markets are... More
