Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

Staff very helpful, great location, maybe standard rooms could do with a little attention.

I love the location.

− As I was only staying 1 night booked the standard room. It was a little austere, one hard chair, no chest of drawers but bed comfy, room warm, I wasn’t there for too long

Great Location - Hotel Exceeds Expectations ...

8.0

Terrific location for those who enjoy Kensington High Street - and the tube station is so nearby, well-appointed, and so easy to access anywhere else in London. Hotel reception area good - no waiting as sufficient staff to cope with an influx of people checking in. Room great - double bed extremely comfortable, warm, good size, plus clean bathroom with easily manipulated shower-turning-on plus lowering the shower head to an appropriate height for a shorter person. Liquid soap, shampoo and - yipee! conditioner. Only drawback here is location at the end of the bath, so that one has to come out of the warmth of the shower water to access. This can be overcame by putting sufficient shampoo into one of the two glasses (real glass, not plastic!) in the bathroom and conditioner in the other, placing them in the soap holder so that they are readily to hand when needed. The hairdryer is next to the mirror and sidetable by the bed, so that one does not have to hunt high and low - in cupboards, drawers, mysterious spaces to find it! Good. The room service menu is substantial, with several vegetarian options - though no cheese platter which was a bit of a disappointment, particularly since there are some four or five or six desserts/puddings on offer. There's a refrigerator - an item that seems to be missing from many hotels today ... plus electric kettle and two good-sized crockery mugs (no herbal tea, though ...). Good hanging space in wardrobe, iron and ironingboard ... Dining and conference facilities very good, and lunch offer splendid - suiting vegetarians (lots of salads and hot vegetables) as well as carnivors - fish, chicken etc ... and fruit salad or chocolate tart for desert.

− Televison set - difficult to change channels! When staying at an hotel it's good to be able to watch a variety of programmes in addition to BBC 2 and news ... for example, Morse, Midsummer Murders, Law and Order, NCIS ... etc ... It would also improve television reception if it were possible to increase the sound a smidgen - it one's hearing is perfectly sound, it is important to be able to set the television level to one that is able to be heard from opposite when lying abed. Certainly quiet without a television blaring is vital - this was, though, not a desire for 'blare' but a little more sound would have been excellent. Just a note on the immediate roadway outside the hotel - this could be made more attractive, but the hotel itself leaves little to be desired and, as noted, the reception area is spendidly set out, so this eliminates any negative thought about the roadway just outside. Not lots to dislike!
