Columbia

the hotel looks very nice, full of flowers and mountain ambiance, clean and with large and beautiful rooms, very good breakfast staff (rather clumsy and sometimes smug, not appropriate for the pretended class of the hotel or Cortina itself); the lounge area is nice but the relevant bar has an obviously pour and cheap menu, not a la carte but exposed directly on the shelters (as presented by the receptionist who appears to play also the bartender for the rare customers)

Friendly and helpful staff, who were not offended that I can't speak Italian! The hotel is supposed to be non-smoking, but our room had been used by a smoker and smelt strongly. I was asked to move my motorcycle from a car parking space, although the car park was only half full.

The staff was very helpful and friendly, it was nice that they spoke german and english, the views were stunning, the breakfast excellent, we found it an advantage that the hotel is not located in the centre, the room was clean. But our special compliments go to the lady behind the counter who was very well informed about what to do, which hikes to take or which MTBroutes. Only disadvantage was that our room was on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator, this might be a problem top some people. But this wasn't a problem to us.
