Short stay in London end of May. Our requirements were clean hotel, nice room, good breakfast, near the tube station. It ticked all the boxes and I would be happy to stay there again. I would also like to add that the staff were very friendly and helpful and there were lots of them which made for excellent service.

Stayed two nights as part of a large group. Hotel was exceptionally busy but seemed to cope very well with the numbers. Checking in was speedy and efficient and despite big queues at breakfast the first morning, they dealt with it in a very efficient and professional manner. Breakfast was ok.....not a major event but you certainly did not need... More

Many, many tour groups booked here and they manage large numbers efficiently. It can be hectic at times. If you are traveling independently, you may be more comfortable elsewhere. The location is very convenient, not on Kenssington High Street, but very close to the tube and shops. Rooms are dowdy, but totally functional.

I just returned from a 10-night stay at this hotel. The staff was uniformly helpful and pleasant. The room was clean and quite adequate for two of us. We stayed on the 6th floor on the west side, so avoided the noise that other reviewers have mentioned. The weather was warm outside, but the air flow controller kept the room... More

I booked this hotel through Expedia. The price was really good. This is not four star hotel at all if you are looking for fancy staying. Internet and breakfast are not included. Room service is really poor. But location is great, very convenient to Kensington Gardens and tube yellow line.

We stayed here while meeting family and friends up in London. great location. Good size rooms. Friendly staff and I thought the breakfast was pretty good. Not a cheap place though, but you pay for the location.

Checked in at 2115 on Monday 21st May 2012. Long queue at Checkin Desk which took 15 minutes to clear. Room allocated was 1037 on tenth floor which was very comfortable except room over looked London tube trains which was very loud and lasted until 0100 and then restarted at 0500.. The Copothorne was a big disappointment to me.However remember... More

Just returned from a stay at the Copthorne Tara. From 2006-2010 this was a regular stay for me as it was where the company had a corporate account. The location is unbeatable - sitting on the Kensington High Street tube, steps away from Kensington Gardens, lots of food choices in the area, convenient to Heathrow either on tube / express,...
