We stayed at Hotel Columbia for 4 nights with our 14 year old son.
Don't judge by the basic decor, fab hotel. Staff where super friendly, really went over and above. It was our sons birthday whilst we where there, the hotel gave him a little birthday card and free drink for the 3 of us. Lovely, thoughtful touch.
Breakfast was basic but good choice, fresh made cappuccino every morning.
Beautiful roof terrace, where we had drinks to watch the NYE fireworks.
Hotel is in a real good location 20-30 min walk from all the main attractions. 5 min walk from the train ststion.
Lots of restaurants around the hotel, right next door to the opera house.
Rooms where basic but clean, comfy and quiet. Very friendly, welcoming, homely, traditional hotel
