We absolutely loved staying at The Columbia! Our room was perfect. The staff cleaned every day, which was very nice. Having breakfast and a bar downstairs was helpful. It was great to be so close to Hyde Park, which is full of magical spots to spend many hours.

caleb, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved this hotel; I’ll definitely return. Victorian high ceilings with 1970s avocado bathrooms. Double room was much bigger than expected for central London. Felt at home here straight away. Staff are friendly and helpful. Bus stop right outside so easy connections and tube station under 5 mins walk away. The hotel is regularly used for fashion photoshoots and filming so you know it’s a cool place to stay.
Laura, 3-night trip

10/10 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.
Imtiaz, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It has a great style and vintage vibe. It's just across the street from Hyde park, and there are multiple metro and bus stops at walking distance. Would definitely stay again.
