The room was beautiful. Very elegant and comfortable four-poster bed and lots of period furnishings. Lovely balcony and view and nice touches like the box of different teas. The wifi worked well, breakfast was basic but perfectly reasonable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Location is great, 50 yards from the tube and just around the corner are some lovely pubs and cafes.

For me, everything was great. If you are looking for a corporate standard hotel, where everything is tick-box perfect and in the place you expect, and the shower pressure is always high, then this may not be the place for you. But if you are looking for a hotel with history, character, with beautiful and eclectic authentic period rooms, in a great location, and very well priced, then I'd suggest you give this gem a try.

The reviews I read for this hotel on Booking.com are a little harsh, in my opinion. However, I can only speak from my experience. Yes, there may be a few areas of the hotel which could do with a lick of paint or a change of the wallpaper, but overall, I had an excellent experience and I would happily recommend this hotel to friends and family. The style, feel and comfort of the hotel outweigh the few minor cosmetic improvements which I'm sure the staff are already aware of. The rooms and beds (I met friends there who were also very happy) were clean and comfortable. A minute walk from Warwick Avenue tube station.

I can't fault this hotel. I would happily stay here again. A few minor cosmetic improvements may be needed, but these are not something which niggle me personally.

Excellent service, with very friendly and helpful staff, particularly the evening team on the front desk and restaurant/bar. I was very kindly upgraded, to a stunning and luxurious room - possibly one of the best hotel rooms that I’ve ever stayed in! The hotel itself is very clean, charming and in a brilliant, central location with easy access to plenty of London attractions and train stations etc. Overall, 10/10 for such a quality hotel that offers great value! Highly recommended!

The old fashioness the four poster beds the balconies the fantastic location the jfk sweet where John f Kennedy stayed

Nothing

I was at a work event until later than I had anticipated and booked this hotel last minute- honestly, it was because it was the cheapest option (£70 for the night) that had an en suite bathroom and I didn’t fancy sharing! I realise I got a last minute ‘deal’ but my goodness this hotel was lovely! A beautiful period property. The person on the front desk was FANTASTIC. I called to say I was arriving late to check that was ok- all fine. He then upgraded me to a suite free of charge. Room was huge, bed was on a mezzanine and very comfortable and bathroom was very spacious and modern. Honestly couldn’t fault it and was a LOT cheaper than Travelodge.

Not sure if there is a lift? I would hope there is, but I was on the first floor anyway so didn’t bother me that much.

Stayed over for one night for a Noah Kahan concert on valentines and was the most romantic place I've ever been! Basement bar looked gorgeous, chocolatiere and florist shop 30 second walk, very convenient corner shop and small beautiful array of restaurants. For one night, 2 of us, £89 (which was a bargain and a half!) We were upgraded to the garden suite! Most gorgeous stunning reception and gorgeous room and windows and curtains and a mini fridge! AC was very welcomed as the room was so cosy and bathroom gorgeous

I would not call the toiletries "luxury" and in the evening there was a slightly unsociable reception staff

Had a wonderful stay at the Colonnade. There were so many negative reviews, I was hesitant to book. I could see from the photos however, that the hotel had charm and character, unlike so many new hotels these days. When I arrived, Naz gave me a very warm welcome and I instantly knew I’d made the correct choice. Everything during my stay was to my liking and there was even a complimentary breakfast each morning, which hadn’t been advertised. Two minute walk from the tube station, really perfect. I’ll definitely be back :)

WiFi could be better. Old buildings with thick walls don’t make for good WiFi.

Bed comfortable room fine

Nothing really could do with some tlc

The staff were responsive and pleasant. My requests were met. The room on the ground floor was spacious and comfortable. The hotel is a grande dame in a leafy setting in Little Venice, easy walking distance to local tube and Paddington. Very adequate continental breakfast, was clean and good value.

There have been very negative reviews of this hotel. I don't agree. It depends on expectations of older properties . This building is a famous landmark, birthplace of Alan Turing. It needs some refresshing of paint and carpets, and all the electrics and light bulbs checked. However the past negative reviews should be ignored. Clearly those travelers do not appreciate style.

My experience was way better than many previous reviews suggested. Underground station 100m away, a 24h Tesco express 5-10 min walking distance, a quiet, peaceful neighbourhood, air conditioning in room, beds comfy, bathroom fresh and all other amenities as per description.

In the evening one could hear the trains running beneath the hotel. But that is really is not a big problem, as the tube services stop around midnight.
