The good points about the Copthorne are the location, the pricing, the breakfast and the staff. I have stayed here many times over the years and it has not been refurbished for a long time and the rooms are getting very tired. It really does need a bit of work done to bring it up to 4 star quality.

It was fine

It was fine. Probably a really nice hotel 25 years ago, but doesn’t look like they’ve done anything to it since. Staff were really nice and helpful, bed was comfortable, and the price was good. I wouldn’t have put it as a 4 star hotel.

Great service and location

Great hotel. Friendly staff and the location is great, 5-10 min walk from High Street Kensington and the tube. Really reasonable priced too. Looking for a central location, then this is the place to stay.

Copthorne Tara provides very affordable accommodation in a really nice part of London easily accessible from Kensington High Street Tube which is only the 3rd stop from Paddington. The hotel is large and comfortable, I would describe the decor as a little dated but perfectly ok. The staff are very helpful and there are plenty of them in the busy reception area. The elevators are a bit of a nightmare on two occasions that we’ve stayed there a couple have been out of order and they seem to have a mind of their own, stairs are an option but not if you’re on the eleventh floor and you have luggage. Also a little disappointed with the bar closing at midnight, whilst there is a self-service bar in reception, the hard chairs and relative darkness of this area did not make it welcoming. We only wanted a quiet drink after returning from a show, and this (in my opinion) was not a good option, for a hotel if this size and location the bar should be open until at least 0100. The breakfast was great, lots of choice and veggie options on request. I would definitely stay here again, in fact I’m booked in again in March. On the whole a nice, comfortable hotel in a nice accessible part of London.

Ok, not great.

We were only there one night but the hotel is very dated, the rooms are in need of an overhaul. Have marked cleanliness down as the sink in the bathroom wouldn’t drain. Also, car parking spaces are very small!
