“Amazing”

Right... Honest review: This hotel is amazing for a 3 star hotel. Our room was in excellent condition and I couldn't expect much more.

Right... Honest review: This hotel is amazing for a 3 star hotel. Our room was in excellent condition and I couldn't expect much more. Me and my friend went there for a week long stay in October and I genuinely had the best time. The staff are so lovely and helpful at all times. I went self catering so I cannot comment on the food but I had some bits at lunch from the bar and once again no complaints. The location is amazing - not too loud at night time but also so close to everything you need. The hotel is located right by a taxi rank and the taxis were from around 5 -7 euros everywhere - but I'm just lazy ahha! I had a pool view room and it was perfect. The view of the pool is beautiful especially at night. The only thing i would say is that if you're not all inclusive - the drinks are a bit on the pricier side (£5 euros for a coke) but other than that NO COMPLAINTS. Luckily our aircon worked perfectly - top tip, make sure your balcony is fully shut otherwise it wont turn on. There were families there, couples, and friends on holiday. Personally, I would definitely come back here agian.

“Nice stay”

Currently staying at this hotel & I was kind of nervous about staying here, after reading a lot of negative reviews. We usually stay in the Vulcano, but we got this for £430 per head for the week.

Currently staying at this hotel & I was kind of nervous about staying here, after reading a lot of negative reviews. We usually stay in the Vulcano, but we got this for £430 per head for the week. Rooms are clean & tidy. So far maids have been in every day. Rooms cleaned, beds made & towels replaced daily. Pool area is really nice & have seen it being cleaned on daily basis. There is a problem with the noise in hotel & part of this is due to the layout. Alot off door slamming & people coming in shouting. But this can happen in any hotel. Staff seem fine. Haven’t had any dealings with them, apart from checking in. Overall, I’m very pleasantly surprised. Some reviews are very harsh. Have booked to come back again next October.

5th time staying here at KN Columbus. A booking originally for 7 people but turned to 8 people 6 weeks before departure. Last year in october, I requested if we could have 2 bungalows at an upgrade cost of €20 per night per bungalow, which will be payable upon check-in. We were happy to pay this, but unfortunately, upon check-in, we were not successful. We booked with jet2 holidays, and the holiday was booked in January 2023. We got given rooms 141 and 143. The rooms were on the first floor. The rooms was on the pool side but unfortunately the view from our balcony was of the sun terrace and all we saw every day was people sun bathing as the terrace is inline with the room so it also kind of invaded our privacy as the people can look straight into the room. I enquired about a bungalow but got told none available until Sunday (we arrived on a Tuesday) by Sunday, we just wanted a street view room which we did get but one room was 142 ans the other room was at the other end at 102 but we didn't mind this. We have noticed that the rooms have been refurbished recently. New bathroom door and new front door. Our room had a new air-conditioning unit which was very good. The bathroom has an automatic light when you walk in, but this is not good when in the shower as the light goes off, which can be dangerous. Also, the light is very bright if you need to get up overnight to use the bathroom. The sofa bed, I really wish that they would get rid of these because they are not comfortable at all. Why can't they just have 2 single beds or a double bed their instead. We never have it as a sofa, and I don't think any rooms have it has a sofa either. Most sofa beds are broken or have wooden slates down, which are being held together with electrical ties. The room, in general, is large enough for 4 people and clean enough. Nearly every day, we had a cleaner. We didn't use the TV at all. As for noise, we'll get apart from the road noise we didn't hear a thing. We saw groups of lads and women and they were there to have a good time and they didn't bother with us at all and didn't have any problems. We even had a group of lads next door to us, and we didn't hear them. We did not witness any fighting either, as some previous reviews say there has been fighting. The teenagers (x4) who were with us enjoyed the pools and also got involved with the pool games. I was disappointed with the corner being closed. The corner is situated near the pools and it was a nice little bar/restaurant which had very good prices for afternoon  snacks etc but during our stay it was closed. The sports bar is closed , and the bar on the other side of the building was closed. The spa was open but did not use it as it's not my thing. The staff are lovely, very helpful and friendly. We needed mobility scooters during our stay. The Columbus has a Disabled Blue Badge rule. If you don't have one, then you are not allowed to bring the scooter inside the building to charge. I believe that this is a good rule to have as it stops the other people without disability renting these scooters and charging them up inside the hotel. Unfortunately, the plug sockets are very limited, and on a couple of occasions, the scooters got unplugged. The double scooters are very hard to get then through the doorways. The door frame has been damaged from people struggling to get through the door as you only have 1 inch to play with. You are not allowed to drive your scooter through the pools so as you enter with the scooter you have to turn right towards the closed sports bar, then go through the door and turn left, around a pool table and park the scooters up. Here there is only 1 plug socket available. I don't know why. They can not turn the sports bar into a room for scooters and more plug sockets to charge them up. It would make sense as well as you can drive straight into the room without struggling to get through, so staff reading this review please try and do something about this as it s a real issue. In the hotel, there is a self-service laundry washing machine x2 and dryer x2. These cost €5 each to use. On a warm wash, it takes 36 minutes. I purchased detergent from the local supermarket next to the hotel. The washer works very well and cleaned the clothes fully. I didn't use the dryer as I put the washing on my clothes rail on the balcony, and they were all dry in a day. Drink prices are €4 for a pint of beer. You have to pay €1 for a cup, which you get back on return of the plastic cup. We have already booked to stay at the columbus next year but going abit later on I  the year (Nov/Dec) I think it will be the last time next year to stay at columbus mainly because change is good and also because of the few minor issues and what available on site.
