“The Columbia stands out for its prime location overlooking Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, placing guests steps away from green spaces and convenient bus routes into the city center. As an independent, family-run hotel with a unique mechanical lift, it offers spacious common areas filled with Victorian charm. I think it's a solid choice for families seeking a comfortable and characterful base in central London, and the pet-friendly policy is a real plus.”
