My second stay in this hotel, this one with a group of 20 people in a business context. Like the first time, a warm and professionnal welcome, a good organisation and a very nice staff! Situation was perfect as we came by helicopter, heliport is actually within a very short distance. Despite its situation in Fontvieille, hotel has a shuttle... More

10 years ago the hotel was a different and better. But the place remains a unique. Birds singing, the sound of the waterfall, blooming roses and mountain peak immersed in the clouds - it's 24 hours a day in front of your window. The real paradise in the middle of the modern city. The bus stop is just around the... More

Second and last time I staff at this hotel. The staff are just surly and have no interest in you as a guest. I witnessed reception staff talking to guests like they were stupid, bar staff with a blatant attitude, porters that were rude and the restaurant/breakfast manager who walked around like he owned the place and basically looked down...

When we arrived here we were extremely frazzled from the drive from Tuscany, and mostly from the traffic in Monaco a few weeks before the Grand Prix. Our GPS did not work very well because a lot of the roads there are underground and cross under other roads and some roads were blocked off! So when we got there and... More

Hotel is modern but room definitely needs refurbishment. Carpet was threadbare and should be replaced. I felt like hotel was riding on block bookings from cruise lines. Bed was ok, room was small and very noisy ( with window open) at night. Location not prime to downtown area but good to large yacht harbor. Can be very difficult to find... More

A very pleasant hotel, with very good bedroom and facilities. Excellent breakfasts and a very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel may seem a little way from the centre of Monaco, but a regular bus service is just around the corner enabling easy access to all parts of the Principality. The only problem we had during our short stay at... More

This hotel is very nice and is of good quality. Comfortable room and the one I was in had a sea view. The bathroom was fine although not a full length one was fine for me. Restaurant food was of very good quality, however was limited choice if staying for more than a few days. Good breakfast. Bar prices rather... More

We are there for my wife birthday last year, this was the 2nd time we had booked at this hotel, upon being seated there were a number of "lads" drinking on the terrace, they became louder then one of the party pulled down the shorts of another exposing him to all the dinners, only after calling to the "manager" was...

Dear Guest. We do recall this incident which happened last summer and can only apologize again for this bad experience. It is really difficult to refuse serving some guests on the terrace even if they seem to have already drunk before, we can only make sure they don't shout too loud and disturb the other guests. We will make sure... More

Our stay was ok but certainly not spectacular by any means. Good points, the bed was very comfortable, and the concierge was helpful. On the downside the receptionists that greeted us didn't know how to smile! The bathroom in our junior suite was something more akin to a shabby two star hotel. The bath was very small and the decor... More

I stay at this hotel three to four times a year (Since 2008) and can honestly say that I never have had a bad experience. Some people, especially over the last five years or so expect too much for the price they are paying. The Columbus is not 5 star, however I would rate it as a very good four... More
