Julie, United Kingdom

This was our second visit to The Copthorne Tara. We stayed in a Club Room which is on the top floors of the hotel. The room included a very good continental breakfast with hot choices such as scrambled eggs and sausage served nicely in the Club Lounge. Also included was access to wine and beer for an hour and a half in the evening served in the same lounge. The bed was very comfortable and the room had a nicely appointed bathroom.

Jennifer, United Kingdom

This hotel was Great , the staff were very helpful and friendly the location for the Royal albert hall was a 10 minutes walk with loads of shops and restaurants , added bonus was the underground car parking and was amazed that we booked a Club Room ( cheaper than other hotels ) and we got complementary drinks and a great breakfast in the executive lounge . would go back to this hotel again and certainly highly recommend this hotel.

눉Our room had an awful smell of dampness I did report it, the carepet was soaking wet from the air on I think that is where the smell came from, I had to spray the room with perfume and deodorant to try and help get rid of the smell, it made me feel quite sick.
눇I like it as it was a buffet , very good food

“Business Trip experience 4/10”
- • Business trip
- • Group of friends
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉This was my second business trip to this hotel in one month. I stayed a total of 10 days on two business trips in the "Club Room" level of the Hotel and I will not be going back. The first night at the hotel was a disaster. The noise was so bad from the Air conditioning units outside that I had to change my room three times. To give the hotel some credit they did try hard to resolve the problem but the issue is the hotel itself rather than the personnel working there. This hotel needs an upgrade especially the Double Glazing. There is absolutely no soundproofing at this hotel and all the noise from outside can be heard in the room. I was there with two other work colleagues who all complained of the same issue. One of my colleagues who stayed on the other side of the Hotel said that he could hear the Train literally passing"in Stereo" through his room all night. We all went to our conferences very tired and agitated. The crazy thing about this experience was that we stayed in the Club Room level of the Hotel. These were supposed to be some of the best rooms in the Hotel. The other thing I noticed was the beds do not have fitted Bed sheets covering the matress. They just use Flat sheets which means that in the morning you are often lying on top of the mattress with half a sheet under you. This cannot be hyginic and is not something that I have seen in other hotels. The bed was also very hard and uncomfortable. Certainly not what you would expect from this standard of Hotel. As part of my job I spend at least 2 weeks of every month travelling around Europe and unfortunately I have to give this hotel 4/10.
눇The best thing about this hotel is the location (near to High street Kensington). But do not expect to sleep well at this hotel as there is absolutely no soundproofing and beds are hard and uncomfortable.

눉Noise of trains was terrible, up to 2 am and started again at 5.30am. It was the hottest week in 20 years but it was really uncomfortable as windows did not open and the air-con did not work that well (and very noisy when on so had to turn off)

눉The power sockets (for charging phones or batteries were located in awkward places like corner of the room a few centimeters from the ground. Better if they were located at site and height of bedside table of writing table.
눇i liked being just a 5 to 7 minute walk to the underground. the rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable, the staff from doorman to front desk were all polite and helpful.

눉the lounge was very busy at the time we went for breakfast - we must have chosen a popular time. It was difficult to get a table and the staff seemed overstretched ( or inadequately trained). They were all very frienfly and courteous but it seemed rather chaotic for a short while. The cutlery given was inadequate - fork, knife and spoon - I would have liked a side knife to spread the butter etc, a fork to use with my spoon for the fresh fruit and a teaspoon. That caused unnecessary delay and duplication of work for the waiters as we waited for them to be brought from the kitchen.
눇We paid extra to use the executive lounge and this was well worth the extra cost The small shop at the entrance was invaluable- we bought tasty fresh sandwiches for our journey home.
