Very nice hotel perfectly situated in Kensington
This hotel is a great option in beautiful Kensington for a very reasonable price. The rooms are large and clean. Internet is a paid option, which is a disappointment, don't know when hotel management get the message...internet is no option it's part of life and needs to be offered free of charge all over the hotel. The bar is nice and has large flatscreen to enjoy a good game of soccer ;-) If you do not fancy to have breakfast in the hotel just around the corner you have The Muffin Man, a very enjoyable Tea room.

Great location for a stay in London
The hotel is in a perfect location, right near the tube, a great neighborhood and lots of shopping and resturants. The hotel does need a total facelift.

Wishing to Return
Our six night stay at the Copthorne Tara Hotel was much too short! The hotel was very conveniently located to the tube station, great restaurants, Kensington Palace and Gardens, Hyde Park, several museums, and a couple of grocery stores. We were grateful for the mini refrigerator in the room, which we used for a few breakfast items. This budget saver allowed us to take full advantage of the many pubs in the area. The staff was more than helpful with storing our luggage prior to check-in, allowing us to check in a little early, and arranging shuttle service back to Heathrow. If only I could make a return trip........
