"The hotel is located in a quiet street, and is near lots of restaurants. My room was fine for one night, smallish, with a single bed, and clean. The AC functioned well, but the TV had no English language channels. I missed out on breakfast as I had to leave early to make my flight. So I would recommend the Columbia for travelers to Palermo."
