#positive #I was happy with the Convenience of Transport; #negative #I was disappointed with the Room Size, Natural Light in the Room; 酒店分给我们的房间是4楼，与楼下三层相比明显是改建的一层，又挤又小，窗户奇小无比根本无法透风，而且设施特别老旧，尤其是烧水壶，我用手往里一摸，壁上的水垢和一些黑色的不知道是什么的东西，真的很恶心…最重要的一点是，任何陈设和设施，根本就没有照片，只挂出了一张照片，让消费者无从知晓实情。你要说不同价位的，待遇不同，也可以啊，但是你所有的房型，都是同样的照片，只拍床，不拍设施，就说不过去了吧。总之，希望我的差评对酒店日后提升有帮助！

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, simple breakfast, but very tasteful and perfect for us.
Old and simple room, but clean and just what we expected.
Really wonderful rooms for breakfast and lounge and that means a lot.
Would come back ☺️

Sure it could do with a bit of a revamp but then the price would go sky high.
The location is great an easy walk to two underground stations & several busses stop right outside.
If you want luxury then pay 3-4 times as much to stay just down the road but if you just want a clean room & a comfortable bed then this is the place for you & you can use what you saved enjoying yourself somewhere else.
The lift is a bit small if there are 2-3 of you but you can always split up & do it that way.
This place has one of the best wi-fi's I've ever found & I have yet to find a blind spot though I've been there 8-9 times.

Comfortable stay for 4 of us in a quadruple family room. Near to underground subway and bus stop and walkable to Paddington station to take Heathrow express to airport. Best part is it is just opposite the Hyde park and Kensington gardens. Near to cafes, restaurants and supermarkets

The Columbia: This hotel is quite aged, almost to the point of being unnerving. The prison-like avocado bathroom included a temperamental shower and a sink with two separate faucets, one for hot and one for cold. The toilet needed a rest between flushes of about 15 minutes before it would do another full flush. The decor was straight out of the Victorian era it seemed. HOWEVER. It was impeccably clean, and that was very comforting. The hotel is very conveniently located close to Paddington Station and several excellent restaurants. Breakfast was a normal European continental that consisted of pastries, cheese, cold cuts and cereal. Was not awful, but was not anything to write home about either. It filled the stomach gaps! We appreciate the cleanliness here, and the friendliness of staff, but we may find something more updated next time.

The hotel staff were lovely, even held our bags after checking out so we could move about the day. Hotel is in good condition, it is an old hotel, but quaint and full of character. Room was small but good for one night, bed comfy, bathroom fine. The only downside is with it being an old property, the floors creak terribly and you can hear the water moving through the pipes, so light sleepers beware. Also the lift is an old service lift so small and has a large step out.
Altogether nice hotel for a couple of nights but beware that is an old (well maintained) building and has the quirks that come with that

Lovely stay, all staff-- from front desk to janitorial to the breakfast server-- were very nice and welcoming. Location was super convenient for exploring London.

I have a short stay in The Columbia which is a wonderful holiday. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the warm hospitality and attentive staff. The underground is nearby making exploring the area a breeze, adding a layer of convenience to my stay.
The proximity to Hype Park added a lovely touch, allowing me to unwind in a serene environment steps away.

This hotel is very outdated. Security is lacking. Checking our bags on our last day they didn’t put tags on them. We just placed them with many other bags. And we were told the hotel is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
