The good: A historic property across from Hyde Park with a lovely exterior and convenient to transit. The staff are eager to help and our room was kept impeccably with fresh towels daily. The less good: the property is tatty and the bathrooms need updating. Dining and the bar were underwhelming. The paint choice for the second floor hallways is horrid.

Great stay!

We loved our time at The Columbia. The staff were amazing, the rooms a great size, the atmosphere old world classy with modern updates. The location is fantastic. Close to Hyde Park, shopping, eating, and public transportation. We will be back.

Back to the 1970s

Grotty and dated. A history of after hours band parties cannot make up for cracked sinks, sticky carpet, flimsy walls and terrible, battered decor. This place needs a refurb pronto.

We loved the quirkiness of the very old building. Squeaky floor boards and old plumbing all mixed together with very comfy beds and lovely staff made for a very nice stay here. The closeness of Kensington Gardens was an added bonus.
