Family room roomy and great location

Family room was comfortable, location is great between 2 tube stops and an easy walk to Paddington Station. Heaps of food and grocery options around and right across the road from huge park. Parking is first come first served c.o.d. 1 small lift for the whole building was a bit slow. Water pressure was good.

4/10 Fair

Back to the 1970s

Grotty and dated. A history of after hours band parties cannot make up for cracked sinks, sticky carpet, flimsy walls and terrible, battered decor. This place needs a refurb pronto.
N, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

6/10 Good

Ideally located ... but dated.

Friendly staff, helpful. Clean and confortable bed, with useful desk in room. Really good central location close to everthing we needed while in London Very dated, carpets of age with deteriation. Door undercut to let alot of light through during the night. Bathroom clean but age does not help. Hairs in bath.

The Columbia july 2025

Very good atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good cleanliness. Great location! There is some noise from outside and from neighboring rooms, but not too disturbing. I think the hotel is a bit expensive.
Kai, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was smaller than what we had expected but more than enough for us. Common areas were quit aesthetically pleasing. Great stay
Michael, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff really helpful, nice quiet place. Rooms on 4th floor can get too hot in summer.
Alan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice staff, good value for money, quite run down and no AC in the rooms and quite simple standard. We didn’t expect anything grand either. It worked well for two nights and good location for us.
Philip, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel staff was very accommodating and understanding
caleb, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay!

Great location, right next to hyde park and a few minutes walk from the tube. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. Bar area was really nice and the room was a good size with a really comfy bed. Some of the decor like the furniture and bathroom were dated but all really clean! No aircon in the room so does get hot but a fan was provided which was a bonus! Great stay and would definitely stay again and recommend!
Bethany, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
