Comfortable stay

Lovely hotel in an excellent location across from Hyde Park and close to Paddington Station.
Adrian, 3-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.

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

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

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

Great staff and comfortable room!
Samantha, 1-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.

Convenient location and good value

This hotel is so handy. Bus stop outside takes you to Westminster or Piccadilly Circus. Hyde park and Kensington park across the road. Walkable to Paddington station
Jenny, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel itself is dated and deserves to be brought back to its glory. Squeeky floors most prevalent. Staff was excellent and the area is desireable.

Mark, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great expirience overall

We had a great time. The location was incredible and the staff very friendly. As the hotel is old, our floor cracked a lot as we walk ( or the neighbors). You coul also ear through the walls, so I do not recomend if you are a light-sleeper.
