Me and three of my girl friends stayed at this hotel for one night whilst we stayed at London for the weekend. After reading the reviews on here about the hotel i was worried about what we would find. We booked a quad room for one night and thought the price was really reasonable for London but as i said... more

We booked this hotel after reading reviews on Trip Advisor, but we must have been reading the old reviews. We got to the hotel before check-in and asked to drop off our bags while we went sightseeing. The receptionist told us we could leave them in the hallway by the ulocked front door where anyone could swipe them if they... more

The hotel and area of Paddington are very convenient. The Heathrow Express train goes to Paddington and the hotel is a few blocks from the station. A tube station is located there as well, some restaurants and pubs and Hyde park are all close. The hotel itself was fair. The room was dated, but clean. It did lose water for... more

I have to say we were disappointed with the Columbus Hotel. We had a quad room for 2 nights in July 2007. We were prepared for a basic, tiny room and even knew about the stairs, but we did want something clean. Sadly, we didn't get that. The room was dirty--an empty bottle on the floor, stopped-up sink, and I... more

My husband and I booked this hotel for 2 nights in August after searching the website for a hotel close to Hyde Park for the Proms. This one looked o.k. so went ahead and booked it. We then checked out a couple of reviews, little bit aprehensive, but keep an open mind, thought it's not the Ritz and so long... more

I know the Hotel for many years. I liked it because of friendly atmosphere, clean rooms and good location. During my visit in summer 2005 it still remind the same. But it is unbelievable what happened to the hotel in two years time. I have just came back home and can not stop thinking about it. So here you are:... more

We arrived at the Hotel Columbus after paying 47 pounds ($97) for a cab from Heathrow. We had to take a taxi because we had 8 bags. Will try to travel lighter next time, but we were travelling for over a month. I had booked two rooms since I have two sons age 17 and 20. I will list what... more

The Hotel Columbus is located in a vibrant area of Paddington/Bayswater, off of Sussex Gardens (a very active hotel street) very close to Paddington station and the Lancaster Gate tube stop. The front desk staff is very welcoming and friendly, and the continental breakfast that is included in the price was superb. We had to book an additional night on... more

nice location near Paddington (Heathrow express), decent sized room, comfortable bed. Nice fresh air with the window open, but lots of street noise, so beware if you are sensitive to this. Ear plugs should do the trick.. Reasonably clean, the usual tiny shower etc for a room of this price. Biggest problem: lots of narrow stairs. 2nd floor in the... more
