Great little hotel close to Paddington Station so it's excellent for exploring London. Some great pubs nearby such as Dick Turpins with the longest bar in England. Lugging your suitcase up the twisting stairs (no lift!) can be a problem and if you are of a 'larger' build the showers may be a tad small. Nice continental breakfast and for... More

Everything was wonderful. The location is very good. The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, orthopedic mattress super! The staff were very nice and it was a quiet room considering the location was so close to city center . Shower and toilet small but clean. Excellent breakfast for London . Will be returning . More

A lovely, budget hotel with the nicest staff ! I was meeting friends but travelling alone and felt very comfortable at The Columbus. I had a single room which was very small but no complaints - it was perfectly adequate for my needs. Brilliant location, just a couple of minutes from Paddington Station and around 20 minutes stroll to Marble... More

The first impression is good and the staff is nice. He helped me to pick my luggage downstairs since there is no lift. The location is excellent. The room is a bit tiny but is reasonable for a budget hotel. Only two bad points: 1) there is only one electric plug in the room which is not sufficient. 2) A... More

We stayed in a triple room but I must say it was very small!! At times I had to climb over the beds to get from one side of the room to the other!! The bathroom is akin to the ones you get in the budget hotels in Europe - small! We stayed in room 104 which overlooks Sussex Gardens... More

Myself and my boyfriend travelled down to London to see Kings of Leon at Hyde Park. I booked the hotel online, not only due to it being just around the corner from the venue but also because it was so cheap compared to other hotels! In all honesty we arrived in London and I had thoughts of a hotel that... More

Want to write a review to tell others to think twice if they want to book this hotel. We stayed in a double room on the top floor and had to climb up very narrow and steep stairs. The room faced the busy road and was quite noisy at night. It looked clean and the shower room was so small... More

We booked out stay at the Columbus only 24 hours before our stay when we took our 4 year old son for a trip to London to see the sights, Aquarium, London Eye, Hamleys, Christmas Lights etc. We wanted somewhere central, near a tube/bus stop near the sights. We found the Columbus having been astonished how much the chains, Travelodge,... More

this hotel was a value considering the location. Had easy walk to Hyde Park and Paddington station. We stayed in a quad room and the bathroom seemed to be taken from a cruise ship. You needed to step up into the bathroom which may cause a barrier for some. The water temp was okay, we had no problems. Our room... More
