I like it! My husband and I spent 3 nights at the Copthorne Tara and found it great. We had a room on the top floor with a nice view, very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was adequate and concierge service was efficient. The hotel has a convenient location close to tube station, so you will not lose your time having troubles with transportation. 4.0

"A good Hotel in a lovely location" We were arriving into London VERY early in the morning and so i had called ahead to enquire about an early check in. The girl that i spoke to was extremely friendly. When we arrived at 10am they checked us in straight away which made a huge difference to our day plans. Not all hotels are as accommodating. The High Street Kensington tube stop is just around the corner and the London tube network is a great way to get around. The room's were a good size, the bed's are comfortable and we had a lovely view over the London roof tops.. We didn't have time for breakfast so i cannot comment on that.

"June 14 - 18 - Pleased with our stay. neighborhood, underground station" Priceline doesn't let you specify 2 adults/3 kids, just how many rooms you need. We're accustomed to staying at Marriott Residence Inns where our family of 5 can comfortably lodge. That kind of arrangement is rare anywhere other than the U.S., so when we arrived the evening of June 14, we were told that we'd have to get an additional room, as no Junior rooms were available (would've been an additional cost). I was nauseous and tired so I just wanted to get check-in done - so we paid for another room. Wasn't adjoining, so hubby took the oldest child and I had the 2 little ones. We had the 6th floor. We were unable to secure a Jr room the next day, so we told them to just leave us with the original booked room and we'd make do. Turned out to be a nice sleep-over atmosphere, with the little ones on the floor by the window atop 2 doubled up comforters and a blanket folded horizontally to resemble a large sleeping bag. They slept well and thought it was pretty cool. Then again, we're pretty neat when we travel, and everything is stored away to allow us ample walking/lounging room. The room was fine, pretty much like most Holiday Inns - and it was clean. The sink and tub drains showed wear, but honestly, I'm not eating out of it, so it's OK with me. The towels are amazing! Very thirsty and comfy! The built in coffee pot and beverage amenities were nice. It was a plus to have the mini fridge to keep juice boxes and bottled water, but would've been better if a microwave were available too. My hubby noticed the urine smell that some reiewers mentioned. Since I didn't tell him about what others had said on that topic, it was surprising to hear him confirm what they said. We both agreed that it wasn't urine, however, but their cleaning solutions and the recycled air in the hotel. I couldn't smell urine, but I did smell damp/stuffy scents here and there in the hallway. The breakfast is good - but be aware that if you select the hot/cold buffet, the tickets they give you can only be used once for the hot buffet section. So unlike most buffet places in the U.S. that will allow you to do unlimited refills, the hot buffet section will request you turn in your ticket. So fill up to the max when you choose your scrambled powdered eggs, ham, sausages, home fries. Fortunately, the kids didn't all care for hot stuff, so we were able to fill up 3 additional plates and share it between hubby and myself. I'm a vegetarian, and I was pleased that there were ample options for me at the breakfast spread. The in-house restaurants are excellent - even better than most of the chain restaurants in London - especially Bugis Street (Indonesian). Such a shame that most of the English fare really isn't comparable to most of the NYC restaurants we frequent (which cost less). The walk from the hotel to my sister's apt at Point West on Cromwell Rd was nice. Avoid the Italian resturants on Cromwell - they're all below par. But highly recommend ASK (chain Italian) in the Waintrose mall. In summary, nice hotel, clean, situated well, convenient transportation options and good food on premises. I'll stay there again in the future.

"Copthrone Tara Hotel" The rooms were large by London standards and very clean. The location was good, close to Kensington High Street and tube station. For the price, it was very good. One of the reasons I chose this hotel was the reviews it received here.

"I was frightened by some of the reviews" I’d never heard of the Copthorne Tara prior to purchasing a few non-refundable nights online. After reading various reviews, I have to admit that I wasn’t looking forward to my arrival there. Well it was pretty nice, especially considering what I had paid. The room was fine, clean, etc. The location was perfect, especially if you’d like to eat and drink locally (non hotel) But it was the staff that really surprised me! Wonderful (not my usual London experience) on each and every level of contact, they could not have been nicer or more helpful. I’d gladly stay there again and again.

Very Good Hotel For the Money We spent 4 nights at the Copthorne Tara. We were spoiled, Everything you need is near by. The "Tube", our room window, we could see the train but we could not hear it! M&S near by, If you take AMEX traverler's checks, there is an AMEX office 10 minutes away on Kensington High st. They don't charge a fee and have a good rate. The Pub "Britania" 10 minutes away rocks! I agree about the sink. I washed my hands in the bath tube where you can mix the water. Kensington Palace, just walk there, it's so close to the hotel. The only Con is you are on the east side of London and all the main stuff is on the west side, but the tube gets you there pretty fast. I would definatly stay there again if and when I go back to London. The Copthorne Tara is a hotel I would recommend to anyone who needs a place to stay in London.

Excellent Value. A visitor from S. Englang The room price we were quoted seemed too good to be true and I was expecting a very inferior room. However what we found was a very pleasant surprise - a comfortable , clean well appointed room with air conditioning that worked. the room service was excellent and very reasonable. Breakfast was great value with lovely fresh food. I had read that as the hotel is near the railway line to ask for a room with an even number. In fact I asked for a quiet room away from the railway and this was immediately given - and yes, it had an even number! No complaints here.
