My husband and I started our honeymoon in April with two nights at the columbus hotel and I have to say that it was the highlight of our honeymoon! We had an upgrade to a suite which gave us a fab walk in wardrobe, two balconies, king bed, lounge and and luxurious bathroom. The staff could not have been more... More

The Columbus hosted 48 of us for one night after completing a trans-France rally. 11 cars drove from Gatwick to Monaco while I used public transport - all for charity. The staff are excellent & the food for our Rally Dinner was outstanding. Patrick the concierge is to be especially commended for his help (that still continues 10 days later)... More

I have been coming to the Columbus for over 10 years. I love the decor, the frendliness of the staff and it's location away from the mail harbour. It still has all of these charms and some elements, especially the restaurant, have got better with age. Some elements though have sadly faded a little. Some of the paintwork looks grubby... More

We found the hotel an ideal pit stop for our Gatwick to Monaco rally and the team dinner for 48 was excellent. Rooms were spacious and nice views. Only drawback is location isn't in main town and is a taxi ride away.

I travel regularly on business to Monaco and to balance service, the location & cost for a hotel is a challenge. However, the Columbus is great. The service I find excellent, from the concierge, the reception, the bar and the restaurant. I have found to be very cheerful. The room size I find to be ideal and they are very... More

We've stayed in this hotel a few times and are always happy with the level of service. It's clean, modern and the restaurant food is very good quality. The breakfast is excellent and served in a lovely dining room with a terrace. The concierge staff are always very friendly and helpful. The only complaint is that wifi is not free!... More

Stayed here twice now with my husband for long weekend breaks. The hotel is very modern and the bar and rooms comfortable and stylish. Near helipad pad which is the easiest way to arrive from Nice.

Dear Guest, many thanks for your informative report and detailed comments. The outdoor swimming pool is opened from May to October, but according to the weather conditions and we must say that until now the spring has been really unpredictable and quite chilly. The pool indeed opens today May 13th with an outside temperature of 21 degrees. Kind regards. More
