The Columbia is nothing to look at from the outside but it's only a block from the opera, three blocks from Santa Maria Maggiore, 20 minutes or so from the Coliseum, 15 minutes from the Spanish Steps and 5 minutes from the station.

when , you first see the hotel from the outside you will not be impressed, but once you get inside you will be very comfortable in the charming rooms. Breakfast is lovely and ample and can be taken outside on the terrace if the weather is nice. more

It is 20 minutes walk from the train station, 20 mins walk to the coliseum and 5 mins walk to the main shopping area.
