A great hotel. Has the potential to become a 4 star hotel, but work needed to become. Great location. Good size rooms and well utilized . Quiet at night. Only problem with sound are the guests that slam the door in the morning early...uh that's so annoying, I wonder if they do that at home as well. Continental breakfast is... more

Good hotel when you do a London City Trip. Close to Lancaster Gate Central Line underground. Look very nice from the outside but is a bit old inside.. Rooms have TV and free coffee and tea. Breakfast is a mess, Waiters walking around but they done serve you. Only some juice, coffee or team and a sandwich with marmalade. I... more

This is the fourth time my wife and I have stayed at the Columbia and the first time we have been disappointed. The location is great, just across from Hyde Park and close to the Lancaster Gate Tube stop on the Central Line. However, the hotel is getting old and badly in need of rehab work. One morning, we heard... more

The hotel has an nice charm and the staff is always available, but I preferred walking the stairs because the miniature elevator felt unsafe. The breakfast is mostly toast and jam and tea, if you want a lot more you must pay to get it, and I really would love internet on the room. A lot of the hotel rooms... more

This must be the best value hotel in London. Very clean and warm, good sized rooms and bathrooms, pleasant helpful staff. Large dining room with excellent value food. Seperate lounge and bar, both very large and comfortable. Bus stops right outside the door and the underground is only 5 minutes walk. I have stayed in several London hotels both on... more

Hotel is a maze and a little outdated. The building's lifts are the slowest I've seen anywhere. Room was a nice size and had a decent television inside. Room also had a phone but no fridge. Location is perfect; overlooking Hyde park it's far enough from the action to be quiet at night and yet it's only a small walk... more

Went through alpharooms n got a really good deal for two people - under £50 on a Saturday night in London booked at last minute including reasonable breakfast. Couldn't fault them. Yes. The hotel is dated. It is a little shabby but really clean and the faded grandure is something that can be seen as part of the experience. Looked... more

The toilette smelled of damp and the shower was very old. There were stains on everything. The towels were changed but did not smell clean. There were tea facilities but we didnt want to... more
