This is a very old fashioned hotel, so a lot of the modern luxuries including a modern bathroom and refrigerator are non-accessible. However, the staff is very nice and welcoming.

the staff was very helpful and amazing. So nice. The rooms were very clean and bigger than I thought they would be. I enjoyed staying there with my young kids. So close to Hyde park as well and easy to get to all the places.

Over heated bedrooms, that’s with the windows open 500mm all day. Decor is tired, the bathrooms are remnants of the 1970s - they need replaced. The entrance garden area looks like the entrance of a hostel, it doesn’t resemble the photo on the Expedia website. This Hotel could be charging higher prices if it had a good make over!

Room was clean and neat. However, due to no fault of the hotel it was very hot! The hotel has no AC. There was a fan and a tiny window, which was not enough to cool the room. However, we talked to the hotel staff, who were very accommodating. We were able to move rooms to one with larger windows and were able to enjoy the rest of our stay. The staff were very nice and helpful.

My room hadn't been cleaned when I requested. "Service room card" didn't work in spite of hanging on to the room door.But when got back to my room late at night I understood that someone had entered my room and left a pillow case on the floor without cleaning the room. I informed reception and manager in charge just to get a clarification.I didn't get an answer that who was the person got into my room? That was strange and suspicious thing to happen.Fortunately I had used safety box service from reception.I hadn't left any valuable thing in my room while I was out. Secondly izolation between hotel rooms is not very well because you can hear noise. The best thing was the breakfast service.

We had a wonderful stay here. This hotel is full of charm and character of a bygone era. Our room was spotlessly clean and had sweet touches like biscuits on the coffee tray. It was very well located close to many areas of interest and transit. Would definitely stay here again.

The Columbia is across the street from Hyde Park, 2 blocks from the red Central line of the tube, and has a bus/taxi stop. There are several lovely pubs within a few blocks and a variety other options closer to Paddington. The hotel has character and lively breakfast. They held our luggage since we arrived before check-in, and thankfully had a (small) elevator because our bags were heavy!
