No soap in my room. I went down to reception as soon as I noticed, around 6pm and was told they would contact housekeeping. I went out for the evening and got back and still no soap. I told reception again on Saturday morning, they phoned housekeeping in from of me to request this to be sorted. I went out for the day returning at 6pm, and still no soap. I walked past a long line at reception so I used the phone to call them, asked to speak to the manager and when I got through his mailbox was full !! I spoke to reception again to request soap. I stayed Friday night and Saturday night, three requests for soap and it never materialised! Surely every hotel provides a way to wash your hands!!!

The room wasn’t quite clean, slow check in, you need to pay extra for keeping your luggage after check out and this supposed to be 4 stars hotel? Sink wasn’t working properly, no bar downstairs & nor proper room service.

Great hotel in a great location

My husband and I travelled with my sister to stay for 1 night while we went to see Coldplay for their last night at Wembley. We weren't sure which tube to catch so we asked the concierge for directions. He was so helpful and friendly, he even took us to the tube station and gave us some helpful tips on where to change the tube. Sorry, I didn't get his name but it was on Saturday 12th around 6.30pm. We got there and back no problem thanks to his directions. Thank you so much!

Recent stay at the Tara

Room was clean but basic. Booked the club room which was an upgrade, still basic. Very friendly and helpful reception staff. Went for a drink in happy hour, be careful as you pay for a tip on the full price not the offer price. Don’t like paying for a tip for just a beer served at the bar. No soap, gel or shampoo in the room however when I asked, it was sent via room service within 10 mins so all good. Great location, excellent choice for breakfast.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Not so good, the noise of the trains made sleeping difficult and the noise of the room cleaners in the morning was unnecessary. We were also overcharged by the bar staff in the two for one happy hour as we only had one drink each and were charged for two drinks instead of one-staff were confused and could not work out what the correct process was.

The stay was ok,the staff was friendly and professional,except one young lady behind the desk who had an attitude like I was inconveniencing her to check in. The room it self was a 2 star at best,old and completely outdated. The location is 10/10
