Hotel Columbus, Monaco
The Columbus is one of the best known hotels in Monaco, and extra publicity has been generated over the years due to F1 driver David Coulthard taking a financial interest in the hotel.

The Columbus is modern and chic, the staff are good – bright and attentive without being overbearing.

Some good deals can be found for the Columbus compared to some Monaco hotels, especially via travel sites like expedia, and an upgrade is often just a few Euros.

For location, the Columbus can’t be counted as one of the hotels in Monte Carlo. It’s in Fontvieille, and it’s a short cab ride or bus (the bus stop is just a hundred yards away) to Monte Carlo. There’s not much within walking distance really.

And perhaps that is why breakfast costs 25 Euros a person at the Columbus Hotel. Even for a coffee and a croissant. If you can’t get a deal that includes breakfast don’t be surprised!
