In poor repair
This hotel could be an affordable option for someone on a budget, but it is tired. There was a massive leak in the ceiling of my room, that started at 6am and dripped consistently onto the bed. I could see that a repair was attempted to the ceiling, but not the pipe itself and so it continued to drip once the new paint failed. The elevators were not functioning smoothly either. I saw one group of passengers get stuck and the other elevators were creaky and shuddery. I reported the ceiling leak at 6am, and the front desk were not interested. However, once the day shift came on, someone was ready to help immediately. I got a a new room for the second night, but it should not have happened the first night.

I liked: Business, location, staff friendliness and efficiency Wasn't so keen on: Room lighting didn't work very well - couldn't use the switches by the bed but didn't report it so they didn't have a chance to remedy this Asked for a quiet room but got a room directly above the rail track so noisier than I'd hoped

Disliked: Cleanliness
I have stayed at Copthorne Tara more than 10 times, but this time, it was not up to the usual standard. The check in was very slow (the clerk had forgotten he person login password) we were promised an upgrade, but to the club level, but that did not actually happen. The room was not very clean, grubby sheets with some stains, dirty bathroom and carpet. The shampoo/conditioner/body wash containers in the bathroom were nearly empty and the body wash was empty. I really enjoy the location of this hotel and hope that this is just a blip and that things will improve.

It was very close to High Street Kensington for station and shopping and within walking distance of many attractions. We were delighted to have an upgrade to a room with a view (a suite!) and to be greeted by the charming and helpful Devi on reception with her lovely smile. The concierge was also very friendly and helpful.
