Travelled to London to see Oasis at Wembley Arena. We wanted a good location and a clean hotel room. Both of these were fulfilled. The room itself wasnt anything special and the staff were helpful and friendly. We got back to the hotel at midnight and the key wouldn't work, a quick trip to reception sorted it out. The view... more

The Copthorne Tara got some poor reviews a couple years ago, mainly about maintenance issues. But it appeared to me that the hotel has mostly put things in order. This is probably a 25-30 year-old property (I was last there about 15 years ago), so it's not fresh and new, but it's "comfortable". A good value for the money (depending... more

Booked a room here because of a good stay I had a few years ago. We quickly found the place has gone downhill since. When we opened the door, we were greeted by an almost overwhelming stench of cleaning supplies and a faint odor of urine near the bathroom. The carpet was worn to hell and coming up in some... more

I have stayed here twice this year. It's a great rate for a London hotel (paid 80 pounds a night), but is definitely not 4 stars. The carpets in our room had torn away from the walls and lay wrinkled up into the middle of the entryway - you could see the dusty concrete floors around the edges. The room... more

We got this hotel for a steal on Pricline.com (about $80/night). It is a (lower-end) 4-star hotel. Overall it was clean and comfortable. The location is great, just a short walk down a quiet street behind the High-Street Kensington tube station. Kensington Park is just about 10 minutes away, and there is a Whole Foods market on the way! The... more

Most of the reviews here are pretty much spot-on. The hotel is fine - not great and not bad. If you just want a clean room with basic amenities like concierge service, on-site restaurant, etc., you'll be fine. But I will warn you, don't use the in-room phones. They charged us about two pounds per minute for local calls to... more

The Copthorne Tara Hotel was a nice place to stay for our holiday in London. It was an easy walk to the High Street Kensington Tube station. The front desk folks were courteous. We felt safe in the area in which the hotel was located. It could use some updating on a few items, but it was adequate for our... more

We first stayed at the hotel in 1991 and were very impressed. The rooms were nice at that time and the breakfast was great with fresh cream at the table to put on the fruit. We were looking forward to returning and were disappointed in that the room and breakfast were not up to the previous visit. The food in... more

stayed in this hotel 3 -4 years ago and it was very good, especially the full English breakfast, in fact changed hotels (from Hilton Olympia) to Copthorne Tara because of the far superior breakfast / service. In London May 2009 and dragged partner across city in rush hour to go for a breakfast to die for at Copthorne Tara and... more
