Very relaxing

Very good and enjoyable stay. Clean and comfortable hotel. Long wait for lifts. As we were on the 1st floor, we were happy to walk down the stairs, but this was not an option. So just had to wait for 15 minutes for a lift with space.

The price paid was excellent for the area but the rooms and condition of the property reflect that price. Perfectly OK for somewhere to sleep after a night out but wouldn’t want to stay longer than that. Heating / air conditioning a particular problem. You’ll either roast or freeze. But I didn’t expect much for the price paid.

Good value. Strangely the hotel bar closed at 10pm. Usually hotel bars are open later than the pubs. Nowhere to have a drink after a concert.

Shame.

Our stay was not the best, first room the radiator was stuck on hot, unable to turn off or put air conditioning on. Sent engineer who confirmed the rad was not working correctly, offered a fan but at this point it was 12am and we were shattered so didn’t want to trial so opted for moving rooms. When we were moved the second room had 8 live moths on the towels, but thankfully air con worked!

The rooms are basic. The corridor to the room on arrival had a hoover left there, no one around and the carpet needed a good hoover. This was Wednesday - it looked the same Friday. The staff at front of house need some training. One staff at the front made me feel like an inconvenience when I checked if my room was ok as I had been sent a text about checking out - even though booked for 2 days. The bar closed when it was really busy - which doesn’t make sense.

an average hotel in Kensington

Copthorne Tara feels like an old glorious hotel that's trying to catch up. Check in service was horrible... and the room is just average. I stayed last time in London at the Royal Gardens in Kensington and it was much better.
