Guest Reviews

• Frank (7/5): The Columbia experience - Le lit, La vue assez dégagée La proximité du parc, et du métro La salle de bain des années 70. Les bruits de canalisation
• Catherine (3/5): We would have been OK with the old room, even though it did not match the description what we did not like was the smell - The location was good and close to transit The pictures did not match the reservation. The room was very old no storage for clothes the carpet the bed the whole room smelt damp. The room and bathroom was not clean. There was no flaw. The room was very hot in the windows would not open.
• Ernst (9/5): Saubere Unterkunft und gut gelegen. - Ein in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel. Sehr Sauber. Über der Strasse ist man gleich im Hydepark. Staff war seh er freundlich und hilfsbereit. Busstation vor dem Hotel. Schade dass es nicht besser in Schuss ist.
• Montserrat (7/5): -
• Mari (8/5): -
• Chris Monty (7/5): Great location and lovely old building. - Beautiful old historic building in a great location close to Hyde Park. The hotel was extremely warm and would not like to be there in the height of summer. The bar/ breakfast area needs new furniture to make it more appealing for guests.
• Vincent (8/5): Londen ontdekken in stijl vanaf een prachtige locatie. - Leuke locatie aan het Hyde Park. Fietsverhuur direct naast het hotel, wat vervoer door de stad heel aangenaam maakt. Mooi stijlvol hotel. De douche was laag een het ligbad klein. Badkamer verouderd (maar wel stijlvol). De weg is een beetje opgebroken rondom het hotel.
• Miller (9/5): - Room was large and good for 3 people.
• Cécile (9/5): Super séjour en famille - Lits confortables, très peu de nuisances liées aux autres chambres, eau douce, bonne pression dans la douche, petit déjeuner à volonté, beaucoup de rangements possibles dans la chambre L'isolation phonique vis à vis de la rue, un peu plus de rangements dans la salle de bain, quantité d'alcool dans les boissons de l'happy hour
• Leenders (6/5): Oud hotel waar je niet veel van moet verwachten maar met uitstekende ligging - De locatie Verschrikkelijke krakende vloeren.
• Pui Shan (5/5): Worse than the one I stay before. I didn’t expect my room was behind the fire exit door and the bathroom and the bed on - Nothing I didn’t expect my room was behind the fire exit door and the bathroom and the bed on different levels.
• Kent (7/5): -
• Malcolm (10/5): - Fantastic location
• Nicholas (9/5): -
• NICOLAS (10/5): Nous reviendrons dans cet hôtel sans hésiter - La localisation est parfaite, la chambre pour 4 personnes était grande, petit déjeuner très complet Ras
• Luce (8/5): Super adresse - Emplacement génial, devant Hyde park, établissement très calme, literie excellente Le petit déjeuner était très décevant Pas d’œufs, pour un séjour à Londres c’est dommage, et peu de choix
• Emile (7/5): Prima, naar gedateerd hotel op een superfijne locatie - De locatie is top Badkamer erg verouderd
• Ingrid (1/5): Der geforderte und gezahlte Preis war. nicht angemessen, wir bitten um Rückerstattung von 50%. - Wir wurden im DG untergebracht, dieses Zimmer entsprach nicht der im Buchungsportal dargestellten Ausstattung. Das Bad war viel zu klein, Die Ausstattung stammte aus den 60/70 er Jahren, Die Dusche war nicht barrierefrei, an der Wanne waren Fliesen beschädigt, Im Bad konnten wir keinen Fön nutzen. Im Schlafzimmer war vor dem Bett nur ein ca. 35 cm breiter Gehraum. Im Zimmer war nur eine Steckdose. Das Fenster war klein und nicht geputzt. Eine Klimatisierung war nicht vorhanden. Wir wurden bei einchecken aufgefordert komplett zu bezahlen ohne das Zimmer gesehen zu haben.
• Lily (4/5): Did the job as a clean comfy base but expected more for the price. - The mattress was big and comfy - felt substantial and couldnt feel springs which was a non negotiable for us. We enjoyed the cup of tea provided - it tasted fine. The WiFi connection was quick and easy and good enough. The hotel itself has a pretty interior We enjoyed. The room itself was spacious with plenty of storage space. The room was light. The room was very clean. The room was quite hot, so we needed to make constant use of the fan provided even through the night. We expected aircon or at least a window that opened enough to encourage airflow - unfortunately it didnt open much and our position didnt provide any breeze. There were big visible chips on the bath and bathroom mirror which we needed to inform staff about so we wouldnt get charged for damage we didnt cause. The plughole in the bath and shower head were quite rusted and the shower pressure was VERY high - almost uncomfortable. Weird compared to the water pressure from.thr bathroom sink taps which were very slow. The room could have done with a bit more designing - things felt a bit randomly placed and lazily and cheaply decorated. But since the room was comfy and spacious it made up for it. The view was less than non existent - we overlooked a 2 story drop in the middle of the building with a net over it to stop people jumping presumably but litter had been thrown and caught in it - plus our window eas right opposite the window of a hallway so with the curtains open our activities were visible to anyone looking through. At first glance it all looked nice but very quickly we noticed finishes were not complete - wallpaper was peeling away at corners, skirting was chipped, carpet looked loose in some parts.
• Brice (9/5): super - Charmant, dans un style patiné, le temps a fait son épreuve. L’ambiance y est agréable, le personnel accueillant et sympathique. Nous avons beaucoup aimé. En famille ou en couple, pour ceux et celles qui aiment les lieux avec une âme.
• Cory (8/5): Great location. Nice bedding. Cool vibe - Cool old townhouse in good location. We got lucky with parking which was very affordable :) Busy with events. Our room right by fire stairs which quite a few people used
• joanne (9/5): -
• Alexia (8/5): -
• Alex (6/5): Für 4 Nächte hat es gereicht. - Das Personal an der Rezeption war hilfsbereit und freundlich. Die Betten waren bequem. Der Zustand des Hotels ist nicht der Beste. Es schreit nach Renovieren!! Das Bad aus den frühen 70er Jahren und im gesamten Hotel alter Teppiche. Wir waren im 4 Stock untergebracht und konnten die U-Bahn spüren und hören. Das Frühstück war sehr minimalistisch und die Sitzgelegenheit im Saal sehr unbequem.
• Karolina (8/5): -
• ictxtra (5/5): Perfecte locatie maar beetje vergane glorie - Top locatie gelijk aan het Hyde Park en de metro op zeer korte wandelafstand. Groene en mooie omgeving. Hotel was erg gedateerd, beetje vergane glorie. Alles wel redelijk schoon maar oud. Bedden wel prima. Verder weinig faciliteiten. Prijzig voor het gebodene. Ontbijt prima maar karig. Personeel vriendelijk maar niet erg enthousiast.

• Jean (10/5): -
• Garza (7/5): -
• SR (9/5): Boogie French style hotel - Staff are so friendly especially the manager, she let me borrow her tote bag for the night which I really needed for a party. Breakfast was yummy but had no halal option. Wasn't much to not like about. The bathroom tap just needs to come on before you jump in to let me get to right temperature.
• Elmar (8/5): - Location, breakfast simple but good.
• Andrzej (7/5): -
• Fabi (8/5): - La atención del personal muy buena y la ubicación para conocer Londres. La infraestructura del hotel se tendría que remodelar tanto por dentro como por fuera. Es muy vintage pero habría que modernizarlo.

• Josefine (7/5): -
• Patrick (8/5): -
• Charlotte (3/5): -
• Tim (8/5): -
• Tina (8/5): - Der ganze Flair des Hotels. Es war sehr sauber. Die Bäder waren auch sauber, aber könnten eine kleine Renovierung vertragen.
• Karolina (9/5): -
• Pauline (10/5): Charmes Anglais au rendez-vous, chambre spacieuse et propre, au top, je recommande - Très beau ! Chambre spacieuse.
• Romedenne (8/5): -
• Janet (8/5): We had a wonderful 3 days. - Great location near Albert Hall - walk through the Park. Breakfast was better than when we stayed last time - they have added yoghurt and fruit. This is a lovely quirky hotel and we always enjoy staying there.
• Sila (1/5): I had booked two rooms for three nights for a business trip. After seeing the rooms, I wanted to leave immediately as th - Extremely dissatisfied. I left immediately after seeing the rooms due to unacceptable conditions, yet no refund was provided. I stayed at Hilton Hotel for a better price and far superior quality. Avoid this hotel. The rooms were completely different from the photos shown online. The conditions were terrible — the room smelled disgusting and was extremely dirty. It was very uncomfortable. The window faced a garbage area and it was very noisy. The so-called “elegant” rooms presented in the photos were in reality old, poorly maintained, and not suitable for accommodation.
• Barbaglia (8/5): -
• Hanna Lea (7/5): -
• Angelique (8/5): - Het hotel lag tegenover een prachtig park. Heerlijk even de natuur na een dag in de stad. Er lagen best wat haren in de badkamer. Het is gedateerd maar wel heel en werkend.
• Martin (8/5): -
• Sandra Celestina (6/5): -
• michael (10/5): every time best stay in london - every time best stay in london nothing
• Edoardo (6/5): - Sono di parte, è la zona di Londra in cui mi piace più stare. Albergo storico, in linea con gli alberghi della zona. Per motivi di lavoro sono dovuto partire un giorno prima. Sono andato in reception per consegnare le chiavi e pagare il conto aperto (colazioni, acqua) e, senza che io chiedessi nulla, non mi hanno fatto pagare. Gesto molto apprezzato quanto inaspettato. Peccato che il giorno dopo, puntualmente, ho visto l’addebito sulla carta.
• ChuckF (8/5): Wonderful location, building, staff, food and bed. - The bed was excellent. The rest of the room and bathroom were a bit dated. The continental breakfast was fantastic. Carpeting could use an update throughout.
• Silje Behrens (7/5): - God plassering, god størrelse på rom, veldig trivelig renholdspersonale Veldig hard seng. Lite lydisolering, men generelt rolige gjester gjorde at det gikk greit for min del. Én av resepsjonistene var veldig kort og lite imøtekommende
• Speidel (10/5): Great value. Great Location. - Location. Beautiful. Clean. Nothing. It was lovely. Good value.
• Antonia (8/5): -
• Ann (7/5): -
• Lianne (8/5): Geweldig op een top locatie. Een echte aanrader - Netjes, schoon, goede bedden, klein maar goed ontbijt en dichtbij de metro. Mooi gelegen aan high park De douche was heel laag en de kraan van de wasbak kan wat beter
• Mary (8/5): -
• Lydia (8/5): -
• Thijmen Keus (8/5): Prima verblijf, mooie accomodatie! - Locatie was top! Gelegen aan Hyde Park en op loopafstand van het metrostation. Prima uitvalsbasis voor een aantal dagen. Ontbijt was prima. Niet extreem uitgebreid, maar goed verzorgd en lekker. Badkamer was wat verouderd en niet gemaakt voor lange mensen. Wel schoon en goed onderhouden.
• Nicolas (9/5): -
• Bien (7/5): -
• Jacquelyn (6/5): - Super Lage. Ruhige Gegend. Sehr freundlich und hilfreiches Personal. Gemütliche Matratzen. das Hotel ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Wünschenswert: neue Bäder mit getrennter Dusche.
• Marian (9/5): - Room very comfortable - spotless / location perfect location . Nothing .
• Philip (9/5): -
• Florian (8/5): - Super Lage
• heleen (9/5): -
• Fridolf (6/5): -
• Maaike Marianne (8/5): Prachtige locatie; OV én leuke winkelwijkjes in de buurt. - De ligging: prachtig! Beetje verouderde kamer.
• Emilie (8/5): -
• jean-paul (9/5): - L'emplacement et les salles de restauration et bar . La salle de bain de la chambre n'était pas très bien organisée et plutôt vieillotte
• Marta (10/5): -
• Kristina (6/5): Non mi sono affatto trovata bene, ho prenoto una stanza famigliare per 4 persone con colazione inclusa. Mi sono ritrovat - Personale cordiale, posizione comoda e vista sul parco! Non mi sono affatto trovata bene, ho prenoto una stanza famigliare per 4 persone con colazione inclusa. Mi sono ritrovata a fare colazione e pagare perché la colazione era inclusa solo per 2. Ovviamente questa cosa non era specificata e ci sono rimasta malissimo. Perché se io deciso di prenotare per 4 e scelgo una struttura che offre la colazione io penso sia sottinteso che sia per 4. Veramente deludente.
• Patrick (8/5): Guter Standort für einen kürzeren Aufenthalt in London. - Sehr freundliches Personal, sehr gute Lage Ausstattung in die Jahre gekommen, sehr hellhörig.
• Stephan (9/5): - Zentrale und doch sehr ruhige Lage direkt beim Hyde Park. Ideal für Familien, weil das Hotel über viele Mehrbettzimmer mit grossem Platzangebot verfügt. -
• Halit Can (1/5): Distinct old building smell. The whole property needs to be renovated. Go there if you want to telep -
• Jacques (9/5): Chouette - L'emplacement de l'hôtel. L'hôtel en lui-même Petit déjeuner très bien. Suggestion oeuds dut et/ou omelette le matin serait cerise sur le gâteau
• luc (9/5): - Emplacement, lit très confortable, le charme de l’ immeuble, bon petit déjeuner Un peu bruyant
• Pia (9/5): Having to change accommadation from one day to the other we were so lucky to get this hotel. - good and kind service room perfect for me and my grandson - cleaning very good
• Kate (8/5): - Location and price No cooked breakfast option
• Peter (8/5): Value for Money and great location - Great value for money hotel is very old but it’s clean and cosy, rooms are dated but Clean, great location with a bus stop just outside the hotel. Building work was going on outside our room so very noisy from 8am, but everything else was fine. Worth a visit Room was quiet small
• Maxime (10/5): -
• Lars (8/5): -
• Justine (7/5): Un emplacement idéal, une propreté et un confort au top pour un excellent rapport qualité-prix pour Londres - Le charme suranné de la magnifique bâtisse avec cet escalier grandiose. L’accueil du personnel. Le confort de la literie. La salle de bain un peu old school mais néanmoins fonctionnelle. Une isolation qui mériterait à être améliorée. La vue sur un mur.
• Angela (10/5): Aangenaam verblijf in een authentiek hotel - Het is een authentiek charmant hotel. Heel proper, vriendelijk personeel, lekker ontbijt.
• dalila (5/5): - la posizione della struttura è ottima per chi usa la metro e a chi piace passeggiare. letto molto comodo e grande. la pulizia non era delle migliori. i sanitari molto scomodi. appena arrivati non funzionava l’ascensore. noi personalmente avevamo la stanza al quarto piano e per raggiungerla dovevano salire anche delle scale in più, nonostante ciò il personale non si è preoccupato di aiutarci
• Reshmi (9/5): - Location and breakfast No cafe/restaurant for dinner
• claire (10/5): - Hotel idéalement placé et très confortable Chambre familiale très bien agencée. Literie propre et confortable Beaucoup de charme Si la salle de bain est légèrement démodée, elle reste fonctionnelle et le reste de l hotel fait vite oublier ce petit détail
• Steven (7/5): -
• Odile (8/5): -
• MICHELA (10/5): -
• Michael (8/5): -
• Maricela Gomez (10/5): Muy acojedora y cómoda. - La amplitud de las habitaciones, la ubicación relativamente cerca del metro y eso es importante. La zona muy segura. Al desayuno yo le incluiría unos huevos duros. Lo demas estaba exquisito.
• Nick (9/5): - Location and room overlooking park All good. Maybe room a little hot
• Chrissi (8/5): - Lage und Charme Keine Eier und Speck beim Frühstück
• Lars (7/5): Etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber charmant. - Die Lage war besonders gut. Das Hotel hat Charme. Die Stromschläge am Treppengeländer. Das Retro-Bad. Es gab keinen Tresor auf den Zimmern.
• Scot (10/5): - The location was great. The hotel is old and in great condition. The rooms are very spacious with a big, comfortable bed!
• Chaima (8/5): Amazing - Amazing Nothing
