Lock in a great price for Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

I really enjoyed the "flatter" pillows. Most hotels have lots of overstuffed pillows that give me neck issues every morning. These were perfect! The decor is a bit dated, but the quality of the stay, staff, location and reasonable price more than make up for it. Hotel staff was very kind, efficient and helpful at all times. Perfect location for exploring London, 5 min to the closest tube stop. 15 min to the second closest- can't be beat. Shortcut behind the hotel works wonderfully and is very convenient.

Comfortable room and excellent breakfast - staff very proactive.

Alan, United Kingdom

The rooms at this hotel are a little dated but the location is great and it ticks the boxes for us. We don't tend to eat here as there are plenty of good places to eat and drink just in the High Street. If we had been travelling from outside the UK then the idea of the complimentary cell phone was great with free calls etc.,

Nigel, United Kingdom

Location and very friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble. We always stay here.

Jackie, United Kingdom

The cleanliness of the rooms, the shower and breakfast were lovely

Jane, United Kingdom

Singaporean restaurant was a surprise. The food was good for a hotel restaurant. Pleasantly surprised with it

Sumi, United Kingdom

For me the location is the main reason for staying at this hotel. It's within easy walking distance of The Olympia where the London Book Fair is held. There are shops and good restaurants close by. The bed and pillows were excellent as was the size of my room.

Linda, South Africa

Central heating system was appalling far too warm and far too moisy

“It was a room for the night, and that was about all.”

- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Check in was confusing as apparently we hadn't booked breakfast - but had been given a credit towards other expenditure in the hotel. It was the smallest double bed ever. More like a large single. Had to stand in line for breakfast service for 10 minutes. The quality of the food was poor.

“Comfortable, Clean International Hotel, Friendly Staff.”

- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The lifts were too busy in the morning - wanting to go from the 6th floor to the ground floor we had to wait 3 times, waving to full lifts as they opened and closed in front of us; we ended up getting the empty lift going up to the 11th floor and then enjoyed a full lift from the 11th floor to the ground floor stopping at each floor on the way down, again waving to the poor people not in on our new technique to get lifts in the morning. Other than that a great hotel.
눇Friendly staff, good position for us and clean.
