Lovely staff and a large comfy suite with great view. Perfect for inviting a couple of friends over in the afternoon. Fitness facilities, spa, and one of the pools were in the building next door. Pool had no loungers. Gym was in a vast arena next to a basketball court. Felt like a warehouse. Lots of equipment. To be honest, I prefer Grande centre point Rachdamri for facilities, location and similar style rooms, but still I was left with a positive feel about Column. I liked the understated, but warm, professional and welcoming approach of the hotel staff. Breakfast was inexpensive, but fairly basic.
