Great location beside Hyde Park, near lots of transport links. The rooms are quite dated but good if you like an authentic retro look.

4/10 Fair
The room was gloomy and depressive, internal with a window looking at an air shaft. The hotel was dated which is a shame because it has big public rooms and could have been made into something wonderful.
The photos do not reflect the reality.
The hotel staff was very nice, helpful and polite.
The housekeeping was also good and location was great.
The hotel staff was very nice,

Good value and location
Good location, good value but room in need of some modernisation, eg. the avocado bathroom suite did take us back to the 70's (although very clean/tidy) :-)

We had a lovely stay at the Columbia! They were very helpful with things we needed to refrigerate and the staff were very friendly, particularly the young lady working the desk on the evening of the 30th and morning of the 1st (sorry, I didn't get her name). The hotel was in a great location, being just off Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens and having a bus stop just outside. I will definitely look to stay again when in London!
