Converted villa outside St. Peter’s Square
Once a 15th century villa, the Hotel Columbus has been converted to a 92-room hotel. Located on the promenade leading to St. Peter’s Square and meters from the Tevere River and Castel Sant’ Angelo, the Hotel Columbus sits among Rome’s most notable attractions. Rooms are basic, but La Veranda, the hotel’s restaurant situated in a grand hall with frescoed ceilings, is a must-see.Columbus Hotel Rome Rooms

Great Location|Great Service|Win/Win
This hotel was at a perfect location to travel in Rome and Vatacian City. There is just a great vibe you get from this hotel once you enter the front entrance. Will book again if we plan visiting Rome again.

Italy Perfect!!!
Location - Location - Location!!! This hotel is perfect! I highly recommend it. It is steps from the Vatican and surrounded by historic places to visit. We walked everywhere (even to the coliseum). Great shopping and restaurants - cheap! Loved it. We will always return here when we come to Rome. Thanks Hotel Columbus

Fabulous location
Fabulous location, historical atmosphere, brilliant for a quick city break. Resturant was overpriced for the standard of food. Bathroom was a squeeze but room was spotless and a lovely size. Would stay here again.

Not quite right.
This place has so much potential, but really does not capitalize on it at all. Glorious old building; free parking (in Rome!) in a center court area; fantastic staff; common areas done very well. But the rooms themselves have received nothing. Another reviewer's description of it being like a Motel 6 was not far off. There is no a/c, which I knew, but that was not an issue when we went (plenty cool in the evening). Also no coffee in the rooms, which for me is a mortal sin. Internet access is 15 euro a night, which in this day and age is not reasonable. Oh - and the place was not easy to find using GPS in Rome. Having said that, for what it is, it's fine, and probably I'll be back again when next I am stupid enough to drive in Rome.

Gotta take the good with the bad
The Good: The location is second to none if you plan on visiting the Vatican. Plenty of food and gift shops close. Cool air condition, which is more rare than one thinks. Cheap by area comparison.The entrance is beautiful and reception gives a solid impression. The Bad: The rooms are not clean and the bugs (hopefully mosquitoes) ate us to pieces. I think there are more expensive rooms that I believe that might be of better quality. However, we paid $135 US and our room was of truck stop/Motel 6 quality.

Uncomfortable
This hotel is perfectly located near the Vatican, but I would not return because the room was hot and the bed uncomfortable. Housekeeping would turn the AC off every day while we were out (and the AC didn't work well to begin with). We had to leave a note for them to keep it on so that our room would be cool after returning from the 90 degree days in Rome. They also did not replenish our soap and shampoo. The wifi was out of order for a day, after we had to pay 3 euros for an hour of usage. We later learned that wifi in the lobby is free, even though the lady at the front desk told us we had to pay. The architecture of the place is cool and it felt like a castle, but the lighting was awful and gives it a spooky/dreary feel.

Great Hotel, Central To Everything!!!
Brilliant experience at this hotel,the hotel could not be any more central, when we looked out our window we actually could see st peters basillica! All the open top busses stopped across the road from the hotel for tours and the airport bus dropped us less than 5 minutes from the street

Money-saving tip:
Not Applicable
Get the SIT Bus from the Airport return for 15 euro instead of a taxi for 60 euro!
