We had been to this hotel before, back in 1979. At that time we were robbed in the streets of Rome of everything we had and the hotel became a sanctuary for us. The hotel has not changed a lot since then and, in our view, it really shouldn't. It is dripping in history and you really should take the... More

Hotel was lavishly furnished and in a great location 2 min walk to st peters. However, the staff were rude and unhelpful. They wouldn't even order us a cab and we had to walk down with our big bags to the taxi rank which was ages away. Be firm with the staff to get what you want. More

At this hotel you are literally staying next door to the pope. The hotel is situated 100 m from Saint Peter´s Square. The hotel itself is a really nice historical building with lots of original art hanging on the walls. The roof of the restaurant is decorated in the same way as the Sistine Chapel. The hotel has a really... More

Good location, reasonably spacious rooms that needs new carpets and repainting. Very sad-looking corridors and common areas. More

The staff of this hotel go above and beyond to accommodate any needs you may have. They truly treat you like family. If you have something you would like to see, eat, or do - they will point you in the right direction! This is the Rome we were looking for... (we stay in a lot of chain hotels -... More

The Hotel Columbus is very close to the Vatican, just steps away. The rooms are spartan - a bed, desk and chair. The location to the Vatican and the other sites around the city for us were great. At night, the street is quiet and then in the morning it explodes with life. The interior and the history of the... More

Hotel Columbus is situated very close to the Vatican and St Peters is a two minute walk. It is an historic building well situated for seeing the sights of Rome, particularly the Vatican. The rooms are furnished in a rather old style which adds to the charm of the building. Some are small but contain all that is required. There... More

Had a nice long weekend staying at Hotel Columbus, the location is perfect for sight seeing, we were lucky enough to have a room the allowed us to see the Basicalli aswell as Catello Angelo. Room was basic but well equipped and very comfortable. A lovely period building with nice traditional Italian furniture, paintings and fitments. Would definitely stay there... More

It was just magical waking up to the singing of visitors on the night before Christmas. It was truly magical. We stayed at the Columbus Hotel steps away from the Vatican. We were able to open the window and listen to the midnight Mass and wake up with enough time to have breakfast and still get a nice position in... More

The hotel is located on the street leading directly to St. Peter's. The building was built around 660 ad and is owned by the Vatican. The rooms are large, although as with most 3 star hotels the furnishings are dated. We were not impressed with the breakfast - we felt it was over priced for a limited selection of continental...
