Convenient location near high street Kensington tube station. Nice neighborhood, large room for London standards, friendly staff. A recommended choice.
Stale-smelling room, uncomfortable twin beds.

The vibrant neighborhood in Kensington where the hotel is situated offers charming streets and easy access to popular attractions like Kensington Palace and Hyde Park. One improvement could be enhancing the communication and friendliness of the staff, as well as updating the room amenities and furniture for a more comfortable stay.

we had a fantastic stay at Copthorne. the room was spacious and always spotless thanks to exceptional housekeepers. the staff, from reception to dining room, were attentive and quick. the convenient location near Tube access and local services made our trip stress-free. a great retreat for studying and resting away from the noise of High Street.
There was nothing i didnt like! 😊

The Tea Lounge: At the end of a busy day, I stepped into the Tea Lounge and was greeted by the delightful aroma of freshly brewed tea. The elegant setting felt like a scene from a period drama, and I indulged in a sumptuous afternoon tea experience that transported me back in time. As I savored the delectable treats, I couldn't help but feel like an aristocrat of old enjoying the finer things in life.
Slightly Dated Rooms

the copthorne is in a great location - super close to the tube and shopping. the self-service shop is super handy, and the housekeeping is top-notch – they even adjusted the shower without asking.
Totally recommend

The location of the hotel is perfect, and the staff is friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Although the rooms could use some refurbishment, the hotel tries to maintain a 4-star level. the reception area is nice and spacious, and the hotel also has a café for hot drinks.
Was all great! 😊

I chose this hotel for attending a synod because it provides Facilities and includes air conditioning, concierge, free Wi-Fi, 24 hrs reception, disabled access, business centre. These amenities were all well-maintained and greatly facilitated my stay.
The only service that I missed for my work was the availability of a dedicated coworking space or business center with private meeting rooms for conducting meetings and work discussions in a more professional environment.

As business guests, we were thrilled with the convenience of the hotel's location, just a short walk away from High St Kensington tube station. The complimentary breakfast was a great perk and provided us with a delicious start to our busy workday. The room rate was excellent compared to other similar hotels in the area. The staff were incredibly helpful and the reception area had a lovely ambience that made us feel welcome. We also appreciated the on-site coffee shop and mini shop, which offered a fantastic selection of snacks, beverages, and essential items for our overnight stay.
Felt completely at ease during our stay, as if we were relaxing at home. No complaints whatsoever.

This hotel offers a superb location for walks in Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, with loads of shops and restaurants around the area. the housekeeping staff and receptionists were extremely pleasant and welcoming, making the stay enjoyable. the breakfast, although simple, was a nice surprise with complimentary offerings. the fresh hot food and fruit juices added a nice touch to the morning routine. the hotel is situated in a quiet area just off Kensington High Street, making it a peaceful retreat within walking distance of popular attractions like Hyde Park and the Royal Albert Hall.
One area for improvement could be the friendliness of the staff throughout the hotel, as mentioned by some guests. Ensuring consistent cleanliness and maintenance in all rooms, especially with regards to unpleasant smells or missing amenities, would enhance the overall guest experience.

The location of this hotel is unbeatable. It is so close to the station, making it easy to get around the city. Plus, with the High Street Kensington station nearby, you have access to numerous restaurants and shops.
On the downside, the room service can be quite expensive. Be cautious when ordering as you may end up paying more than expected.

I recently stayed at the Copthorne Tara Hotel in Kensington for a weekend getaway. The location was fantastic, just off High Street Kensington and close to public transportation. We were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a spacious and comfortable club room. The breakfast in the executive lounge was excellent, and the room service was efficient and quick. The staff, especially the receptionist from Lithuania, were friendly and accommodating.
Can recommend this hotel.

Good location near two tube stations with easy access to all areas. Welcoming and helpful staff with a prompt resolution of any issues. Delicious and filling breakfast served in a spacious dining area. Rooms are clean and comfortable with good facilities. Reasonably priced for a 4* central city stay.

The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. the hotel is conveniently located near public transportation and there are plenty of dining options nearby.
The hotel rooms felt dated and in need of a makeover. the cleanliness was inconsistent, with rooms not being cleaned daily and reception being reluctant to send staff up for services.

Location was fab, close to attractions like Kensington Gardens and Natural History Museum. Hotel clean, staff friendly. Great for resting my head after a busy day in London.
Furniture felt like it had been through a world war and the corridor doors were in desperate need of a makeover.

Loved being upgraded to a top-floor room by the awesome receptionist with stunning views. Rooms were surprisingly spacious and comfy, and the location, just a short stroll from Kensington High Street station, was super convenient. Relaxing bathtub and comfy bed were perfect for unwinding, but the shower's old design made it a bit tricky to use 🚿. a solid option at a decent price with a few minor quirks.

The hotel's location is simply fantastic, with a metro station just a 2-minute walk away. There are also great parks, restaurants, bookstores, and shopping spots nearby. The family room was impressively huge, with two adjoining rooms and each having its own bathroom. The staff were elegant and kind, offering us an upgrade to an executive room with breakfast and access to the executive lounge. The room was very clean and had amazing views of the London Eye and the city.
We felt totally at home during our stay and had no complaints.

The location was excellent, close to Kensington High Street and the tube station for easy exploring. The friendly staff and various dining options added to the experience.

We're staying near a major train line which makes it easy to get around and enjoy the local attractions. The hotel location is convenient for both accessing things to do close by and seeing sights further afield. However, the railway noise is a little intrusive.
The heating wasn't functioning very well and we had to live with it during our stay.

The chow was top-notch - fresh cuts and epic tales of culinary discoveries. Beds were comfy and staff on point. Cons: A few hiccups with child bed arrangements and management teething issues, but overall, still shining. Nearby nosh spots like Boulevard and Thai Terrace just a stone's throw away. Rates: 4 stars for flavor, 2 stars for the buzz. Cheers!

I chose to stay at Copthorne solely to visit Kensington Palace, but I was pleasantly surprised by the delightful traditional English afternoon tea at the only Tea Lounge in Kensington. The relaxed Brasserie Restaurant and Bar also offered delicious hot or cold snacks that I could enjoy in a casual setting.
AC didn't work; room was warm.

The hotel staff went above and beyond when I accidentally left my belongings in the room after check-out. They promptly found and returned my items to me. The location was excellent for sightseeing and the room had great views. I would recommend this hotel for a comfortable stay.

This hotel is conveniently located near the tube station, making it easy for me to get around this city. The staff was friendly and attentive, providing excellent customer service. Additionally, the hotel facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the breakfast was a pleasant surprise. Lastly, the hotel's location allowed me to head to the next attraction and grab lunch before the event smoothly.
Not obvious to find.

I recently stayed at the Copthorne Tara Hotel Kensington for a few days while visiting the Royal Albert Hall and South Kensington Museums. The Club Room on the top floor offered stunning views, spacious and well-furnished, and came with a delicious breakfast in the Club Lounge. The hotel's location near the Underground made it easy to access central London and the main rail terminals. Taxis were always available nearby, and the staff, especially Dinu at check-in, were incredibly friendly and helpful.
Can recommend this hotel.

We recently enjoyed a romantic escape at a hotel in Kensington. the room was spacious and clean, with comfortable bedding and a quiet air conditioning system. the location was convenient, just a short walk from the tube station, making it easy to explore the city. We also appreciated the breakfast options, especially the fresh fruit salad and variety of cereals.
We were disappointed with a few aspects of our stay. the cleanliness of the corridors left much to be desired, with bags of rubbish and food residues left unattended for extended periods.

I chose to stay at Copthorne to explore Holland Park. However, the Tea Lounge's traditional English afternoon tea pleasantly surprised me with its delightful experience.

From the moment we entered the hotel, we were greeted by Sabrina who was super friendly and informative. We were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a Club room which was mind-blowing. The staff throughout our stay were incredibly helpful and polite. The hotel's location was perfect for our needs and the reception area was attractive. The bar, which also served breakfast, was jaw-dropping with delicious food options. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The event staff were also very pleasant and helpful. Perfectly placed for a visit to a famous concert venue.

Stayed at Copthorne and loved the central location, close to Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park. the room was spacious and comfortable for three people, with a nice big luggage store. the bathroom had a lovely shower and bath, with hot water. the cleaning lady was friendly and efficient. the hotel had a stylish foyer and public areas. There was a microwave and the room had a fridge and tea/coffee facilities. a great option for a shorter stay.
No issues 😊

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this luxurious 4-star hotel. The location was perfect, as it was just behind the High St Kensington tube station and in a quiet area, while still being close to the busy High Kensington Rd. It was also very central, making it easy to access Royal Albert Hall, museums, and shopping. The room was spacious and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed including air conditioning, ironing facilities, and a mini-bar. The view of the city was stunning, and I loved waking up to that every morning. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that I felt welcome and at ease throughout my stay.
Highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

Kensington High Street tube station is in a prime location as a jumping-off point for exploring London. The kids' check-in experience was delightful, with special steps to the desk, fun registration cards, coloring paper, and welcome sweets creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for families with young ones.
My wife says that clearer information on child-friendly dining options would be great for families with children.
