Feb 2008, purplebunny

I stayed here when in London for a work conference. The location is excellent - very close to the Underground, although the train noise can be a little intrusive occasionally. The room was very good... comfy bed and trouserpress, TV, tea and coffee making facilities (and... more

Mar 2007, Mrs T Robinson

We booked the Copthorne Tara because of its reputation, location, star rating and truthfully, The Grovesnor House was being refurbished. After parking you are met with a scruffy underground entrance with no lift to reception. Although the reception area is well presented... more

Apr 2006, Mr A Skinner

A disappointing stay for our silver wedding anniversary. My daughter had booked wine and chocolates, it went to the wrong room. My brother had booked a room upgrade, the hotel forgot. The initial room we had was more like a 2* and the majority of staff were unfriendly... more

Good Value for London-2 stays at TC
Stayed here in Jan and March of 2004. Was quite petrified after getting this on Priceline and reading the reviews on, but hotel was a fine experience with responsive management. They were having difficulties with their fire alarms on the first trip (this was resolved by the 2nd trip and I don't think it will be an issue any more). We were on the Tube side the first trip, but high enough up (8th) not to hear it - the biggest problem with the rooms is the paper thin dividing walls (definately bring ear plugs-or perhaps if room does not have an... more
People should stop complaining about this hotel
My husband and I recently booked a 4 night stay at the Copthorne Tara Kensington using Priceline. We paid $75 per night, plus tax. After reading the other reviews on Priceline, I was understandably concerned. However, after staying there I felt compelled to defend this hotel. We did not make any requests, other than to have a double bed. We stayed on a low floor, and I never heard the tube once. The room was modern, and the bed was very comfortable. The room was small in comparison to American hotels, but this we expected. The... more
Nice Hotel, Excellent Location
We recently stayed at the Copthorne Tara for 3 nights. Overall the room was comfortable and clean. The location was very good, great neighborhood with lots of shopping close by and a very quick walk to the tube which is just steps away. This was the best place we had ever stayed in London. I would recommend it.
Just OK
I did priceline and paid $100 US a night...i would have been much happer if i had been one of the posts on here who paid $70. But, the room was very spacious for London. My room overlooked the Underground Rail Tracks. The noise was not bad, but I live in a big city and am used to noise. Bathroom was big and water pressure was good. Yes, the sink had 2 different handles (one for hot, one for cold). Room service menu was limited and expensive, but you have a fridge and there is a safeway in walking distance. The lobby and elevators was nice. I... more
For the price, a good hotel
Close to the tube and Kensington Palace, the Copthorne is in an excellent location. Although our room was a little frayed around the edges, we came away feeling very satisfied with what received for the money ($82/night via Priceline). We followed the advice of others and requested a room on a high floor away from the tube station. Make sure you do the same. Here are the pluses: a clean and fairly spacious room that contained firm twin beds, a refrigerator, coffeemaker, and a bathroom that had both a shower and a deep bathtub. No washcloths,... more
Priceline, inexpensive and decent
I stayed at the Tara last week for 4 days and had a pretty decent time. I paid $75 a night through Priceline.The Bad: The bathroom was a bit moldy. The furniture was the cheap 70s type you find in a HoJos. The beds were really soft, almost rotten in the middle, though I'm not sure if this is a European thing, I've run into really soft beds before. When we got in we were told that check in was not until 4:00PM, which is pretty late, but there was a place to drop off your luggage.The Good: The room was actually pretty large, as was the... more
Good Hotel
Upon reading the previous reviews of this hotel, I was scared when Priceline assigned me this hotel. Luckily, it wasn't as bad as all the reviews claimed, it was actually a pleasant stay, besides the fact that my wife and I had two singles in the room as opposed to one double. They offered to move us after the first night, they couldn't do so earlier because it was Valentine's Day. The following day we didn't care as we combined the two beds anyways. We were on the 5th floor in a refurbished room. The location was pretty good, very... more
Pretty Nice Place
I just got back from London last week. It was my first time going there and I stayed at this hotel. When you first arrive, you'll look at the outside of it and think "what a dump." But once you get inside it's very nice. The front desk girl was very nice and check in was smooth. After reading other reviews, I made sure to ask for a room away from the tube, which they did. My room was very nice and the same size room you would get at an American hotel. The view was pretty lousy (a view of the roof top) but that's ok. Room was very... more
No-frill good value, easy access.
I stayed 4 nightes at the Tara Copthorn in October 2003. I paid $60 USD / night thanks to Priceline. This is a considerable bargain especially when you do the British Pounds conversion. The rooms were standard and clean. Check-in was prompt. This hotel is easily accessible by the underground, about a 2 min walk to the nearest station (there is a shortcut from the hotel to the back door entrance of a mall, which leads to the station). Luxe this was not. But it was functional and more than sufficient. Considering the price i paid, i highly... more
It's not too bad.
Well, I got this room for $61USD on Priceline but was somewhat unsure what to expect after reading all the reviews. I only stayed for 1 night so I don't have a thorough experience for this hotel. First off, it is extremely convenient. Just down the street (Wrights Lane) on the corner from High Street Kensington tube Station. First thing you'll see is the Kensington Close hotel. Keep walking straight and it's to the right of that hotel. On first glance of the exterior, the hotel has probably seen better days. It was quite... more
