Enjoyed a 2 night stay at the Columbia where we booked a double and single room for each night for a total bill of 240 POUNDS which included continental breakfast. Handy for the tube and buses the rooms were well appointed and warm. Staff were friendly and we would definitely stay there again. more

Th Columbia is the fine if you don't want luxury. B&B with ensuite bathroom and breakfast for £50-£70 per room. If you're a group it's an absolute steal at £120-£140 for 5 It's generally very clean - as clean as a Travel Lodge and the breakfast is OK (it's free compared to the London average of £14.95) so all things... more

I stayed at the Columbia Hotel for 8 nights, and despite an issue or two, enjoyed my time there. Pros: I was there as a single traveler, and the room would only work for a single person, but in that context, it was well designed. I was able to put everything away and move around fine without running into stuff.... more

I stayed at the Columbia for 4 nights mon to fri with a female friend. We were a bit doubtful about it due the negative reviews we have read but when we got there that all changed! You normally can't get into your room before 2pm but they have a lockable room for you to leave your luggage so you... more

Me and my friend, both 19, stayed in this hotel in July. We stayed there for 3 days. Our room, on the 2nd floor, was nice and clean. The bathroom was clean as well. And staff were friendly. Breakfast was okay as well. But ppl who like to eat more than toast with jam only will have to pay some... more

This hotel is in such a great location. I was suppose to change hotels during my stay but cancelled the other reservations and stayed here instead. The hotel has energy, a great breakfast, the staff is very friendly! I recommend this hotel to my clients all the time. The tube is just a short jaunt away. The park is right... more

Situated very nicely opposite Hyde Park. Busstop in front of the hotel and tube station about 500m away ( central line). Staff at reception and serving breakfast are correct and polite. It's an old building with high ceilings but I found everything clean. Oldfashioned bedrooms but very clean too. Continental breakfast is a bit sober but enough. English breakfast or... more

My husband and I stayed at the Columbia for 6 nights. The room was clean and accommodating. The staff was friendly and helpful at all times. Also, the full English breakfast was delicious, offering a variety of choices. The location of the hotel was convenient for transportation being near Paddington Train station as well as the Lancaster Gate tube stop.... more

This hotel is nice located opposite to Hyde Park and close to the underground at Lancaster gate. The Hotel seemed a bit old. The corridors and the bathrooms in particular could use a restoration. The room was nice and clean but the bathroom was pretty old but functional. The lift seemed as though it soon would get out of order.... more
