We stayed here while meeting family and friends up in London. great location. Good size rooms. Friendly staff and I thought the breakfast was pretty good. Not a cheap place though, but you pay for the location.

The Copothorne was a big disappointment to me.However remember... More

Just returned from a stay at the Copthorne Tara. From 2006-2010 this was a regular stay for me as it was where the company had a corporate account. The location is unbeatable - sitting on the Kensington High Street tube, steps away from Kensington Gardens, lots of food choices in the area, convenient to Heathrow either on tube / express,...

Room was musty smelling, window could not be opened for air circulation, and air conditioner put out little semi-cool air. Had to leave door open while in room to cool it down (77 degrees outside). No answer when I called housekeeping. Contacted Conceirge to report the problem & ask for an electric fan - received no help or a fan.... More

Stayed for one night in an upgraded "club room" 40GBP extra and to be honest I'm really not sure what was upgraded about it. Wallpaper hanging from wall, dripping shower head and a toilet which only just managed to flush. The room was clean, but looked straight out of the sixties, with the exception of a flat screen TV. Impossible... More

Good location in Kensington. Rooms are a bit tired and could use an update, however the rate for the location is quite good. Overnight parking is a bit much at £32.

I recently stayed at the Copthorne Tara for 3 days. I usually stay twice a year for business reasons. Although the rooms are a bit tired they are clean and comfortable and the location is good. The carpets had been replaced which was good. However,there appears to be little or no security. An empoyee was sometimes stationed by the lifts... More

Like many hotels, there are always things that are great and some things that can be improved. Firstly, I want to say that both me and my partner had a great time due to the location of the hotel being close to everything we wanted to do. The room we were given was perfectly good for us who are not... More
