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.

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.

I’m not one for leaving reviews up I feel compelled to. Very disappointed in this property. Would be a great place to stay with some updating and a proper management company running the property. Rooms are very dated and pictures are not true to the actual rooms. No ac, bathrooms very dated but clean. I would not recommend anybody to stay at this property. Saving grace, good location to explore London.
