Great staff & a lift that now works again The place is tired & could do with some renovation, but no doubt the price would then go up dramatically. I am returning in December, as this tends to be my first choice hotel for London

Good value and location

Good location, good value but room in need of some modernisation, eg. the avocado bathroom suite did take us back to the 70's (although very clean/tidy) :-)

Older hotel with a lot of charm. Very helpful concierge service. 2 blocks from the underground. Across the street from lovely Hyde Park. Walkable to Paddington neighborhood with lots of dining options.

New beginnings for me

My first solo hotel visit since the death of my husband was an important and rather frightening event. Everyonr at the Columbia made me feel welcome and treasured. Lovely room, friendly and efficient staff. I now have a home from home and I shall be back. Thank you

Historic, well located and managed Hyde Park property. Conveniently located to subway and buses. Older property, but incredible daily maid service and kind staff. I would stay here again.

We loved the location of this hotel and the service from the staff was good. They accommodated us after hours and were easily accessible and friendly. We didn’t realize the rooms do not have air conditioning, which made things uncomfortable at times. There was also a lot of work being done on the building that was noisy and we weren’t warned about prior. The building is a bit older and has beautiful features, but lacks some convenience. Overall we enjoyed our stay especially at the price point.

I wouldn’t go again.

This hotel is very run down and in desperate need of a refresh! Walls have many areas where plasterboard repairs are still on show, paint and wallpaper coming off and looks like it’s still in the 80’s. The rooms have paper thin walls and floors, and the windows don’t have any seal against drafts or noise. This makes for a tough sleep, especially with a family. The staff were okay but definitely did not offer a “good service”, the bar man was not helpful at all and did not make me want to spend any extra money. Such a shame as the location is excellent.

This hotel is an older Victorian style. It’s not your typical city hotel. It is older but has lots of charm. The location is perfect, next door to Hyde Park. Walking distance to the tube. The room was very large, was pleasantly surprised when we saw it. Perfect for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. There were 4 single beds and enough space to move around in. Parking was very convenient. It was cheaper considering what the car parks charge in the area. Well worth it. Overall we loved our stay.

Liked the old school style of building and that the rooms were very clean yet very small. Would be good to have a proper coffee machine in the room and mini bar fridge.
