Great
Pros:

Location was the best, close to the train station and lots of restaurants near by, Hyde park and Kensington gardens a short walk away.

Cons:

There was no lift and we were on the 3rd floor, older people don’t always do well with a lot of stairs (our problem not the hotels we should’ve said when we booked)

Good Value for a Short London Stay
Pros:

We stayed at Columbus Hotel for two nights and, overall. The hotel is fairly basic, and there were a few things that could certainly be improved, particularly in the bathroom, housekeeping and general room maintenance. Some fittings felt dated, and the room was quite warm.

That said, I think it is important to judge the hotel in relation to the price we paid. For a short London stay, it offered reasonable value, especially given its convenient location near Paddington. Another nice bonus was that a basic continental breakfast was included in the price, with ham and cheese toast, cereals and coffee, which was enough to start the day.

The staff were also helpful. If you are looking for luxury, this is probably not the right choice, but as a budget-friendly base in London, it met our main needs and represented fair value for money.

Cons:

There is no elevator and could have used a Toilet brush in the bathroom and some extra toiletries.

Keurig budget hotel, centraal gelegen
Pros:

Keurig budget hotel dichtbij treinstation Paddington. Van daar uit snel naar allerlei locaties in London
Kleine schone kamer, eenvoudig maar keurig ontbijt, in 2 shifts.
Geen airco, wel indien nodig een kleine ventilator.

Pros:

Vicino alla stazione dei treni e alla metropolitana di Paddington.
Stanza pulita,molto piccola.
Colazione a buffet.

Cons:

Bagno inesistente, simile a quello dei treni con l' aggiunta della doccia, in una persona non ci girava.
Stanza molto piccola per essere una tripla.
Non vi è ascensore, ma questo già sapevamo leggendo le recensioni e il messaggio inviatoci dalla reception come abbiamo prenotato.

Bom custo beneficio para Londres
Pros:

Localização excelente, local muito agradável e tranquilo, bem perto de Paddington e de conexões de trem pro aeroporto e metrô. Funcionaria Andriana maravilhosa, muito simpática e resolveu ela mesma um problema de entupimento da pia do banheiro, nao precisei esperar pelo pessoal da manutenção (já era noite). Quarto quádruplo não é grande mas tem conforto, é limpo, com camas boas.

Cons:

Banheiro muito pequeno. Faz falta um ar condicionado no verão.

Nada aconsejable
Pros:

No me gustó absolutamente nada el hotel,en todos los sentidos.

Cons:

El desayuno horrible,tanto el café como el resto.
La habitación más pequeña no podía ser,muy incomoda,el aseo pequeñísimo,no te podías ni mover,incómodo y lo de la ducha mejor no decir nada,la limpieza brilla por su ausencia,por cierto desde que entramos una olor bastante insoportable,por no decir lo de la moqueta,no sé el tiempo que lleva puesta, tuvimos que ir en calcetines todo el tiempo y salieron negros de allí.
Por no decir que para lo que pagas ya deberían cambiar las toallas todos los días,ya que estuvimos con las mismas todos los días......penoso.
Por la noche si llegas un poco tarde no hay nadie quien te pueda atender,si tienes algún problema tienes que llamar a un teléfono y por supuesto si no sabes un poco de inglés estás vendido,no hacen ni un pequeño esfuerzo en ayudarte,así que mejor vayas sabiendo un poco de lnglés.
