"AVOID THIS HOTEL – AWFUL EXPERIENCE AT KN COLUMBUS
⭐ 1/5
I would strongly urge people to think twice before booking the KN Columbus Hotel. Our experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish, and this is definitely not a hotel I would ever return to or recommend.
Cockroaches in our room 🤢
On arrival, we found multiple cockroaches in our first room (357). This was completely unacceptable and extremely upsetting. When we reported this to staff, we were met with a very rude attitude and were initially refused a room move. We had to ask to speak to a manager before anything was done.
We were then moved to room 262, which was old, battered and not what we had booked or expected. It also did not face the pool as we had originally booked.
What made the situation even worse was that I was forced to sign a form saying I was “happy” with the room swap, despite the fact that I was not happy with the situation at all. I felt pressured into signing something I did not agree with.
Formal complaint completely ignored
I sent a formal complaint to the hotel’s email address explaining everything that had happened. Despite this, I received absolutely no response throughout the entire week we were there. No apology, no explanation and no attempt to resolve the situation.
Food was disappointing
The food was another major letdown. We found food to be undercooked and there was hardly any choice available. For an all-inclusive holiday, we expected much better standards and more variety.
You also have to pay for cups for your all-inclusive drinks, which is ridiculous. Surely cups should be provided as part of an all-inclusive package?
Sunbed wars and rude people
The sunbed situation was honestly unbelievable. There were actual arguments and fights over sunbeds, and it was extremely stressful trying to get a place around the pool.
When we needed 4 sunbeds together, we were told we were being ‘rude’ and that because ‘we are young, we think we can get away with being greedy’! This was extremely insulting and completely unnecessary. We were paying customers who simply wanted to enjoy our holiday.
Overall
This hotel completely ruined what should have been an enjoyable holiday. From cockroaches in our room, rude staff, being pressured to sign a form, poor food, extra charges for cups and the ridiculous sunbed situation, there were problems throughout our stay.
The way our complaint was handled was particularly disappointing. We expected basic customer service, cleanliness and respect, but unfortunately we did not receive that.
My advice: Save your money and book somewhere else. There are much better hotels out there where you can enjoy your holiday without having to deal with this level of stress and disappointment.
KN Columbus Hotel, you need to seriously look at your standards and how your guests are treated. This was not the holiday experience we paid for.
i know there are always bad reviews on hotels but please take this one in to consideration because we wish we had listened to some of the reviews!"
