Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

( 4 stars , London , United Kingdom )

We have stayed at this hotel many times and always have a good time. It is ideally situated, if a little too close to Kensington High St Tube Station. The rooms are a good size by London standards and the staff are always friendly and obliging. The furnishings are dated but clean. House keeping was poor with neither tea/coffee nor toiletries being replaced unless we asked. No safes in the rooms making it neccessary to have a safety deposit box in the lobby.. a little inconvenient

Good-Average for London You can have breakfast anywhere for few pounds

It was an older hotel but clean. They were very helpful in helping us get where we wanted to go.

Prime location at a great price! My husband & I stayed at the Copthorne Tara hotel overnite in route to Gatwick airport. We will definately choose this hotel again. The hotel room was clean & spacious with a good shower & a quiet air conditioner. We didn't hear any outside noise in the night from the corridor or the street. Kensington High street was a minutes walk & we both felt very safe. We had dinner & drinks on the high street but there isn't a great deal of choice, however, with the underground on your doorstep all of London is available.

The room looked worn and tattered. The shower curtain was dirty. There were no electrical outlets in the expected locations (near bed and desk). We had to move furniture to get access to electrical outlets. The cost of internet was over priced. The restaurant served quality food, but it was over priced. Had to pay $40 to park car for one night.

Good hotel Other than a few nearby parks, the main tourist sites need transportation.

The hotel does a lot of trade in bus tours and the like, it is not service oriented and almost everything is offered as an extra-fee service, from the exercise room and on.

The room was dirty: extremely outdated, dirty carpet, extremely uncomfortable bed and pillows. They charge 10 pounds per 24 hours for the internet. Windows were so dirty that you could hardly see the trains as they passed by making constant noise. Other than location, I cannot say much good about the Tara.

very nice hotel would stay again Good quality hotel, little pricey. staff friendly and helpful. parking on site which is a huge plus especially in London, although we did have to pay for it. Bar area was ok.

The hotel room does not look like that of a 4 star hotel. It was fine with me since I spent most time attending a conference. The location was nice, and the staff were very helpful.
