I can highly recommend the Columbus hotel, first of all because it is in a very good position, absolutely central, 5/10 minutes far away from the tube.The staff is absolutely nice, you'll be welcoming by a young woman in a very friendly and hospitable reception.The hotel looks not very modern it's a tipical hotel from the seventies, but perfectly fine in terms of quality of the accommodation, cleaning and variety of breakfast.The breakfast infact is in my opinion the best thing related with this hotel, the hotel provides a large buffet including sweet food and savoury food and the same for drinks. I definitely recommend this place!
