Perfect location to get around zlondon, and even better if going to a gig at Royal Albert Hall, as within easy walking distance. Check-in was straightforward, friendly service, and was given an upgrade onto the top floor with the sights of London. Bar service was very slow upon return from concert, but this was near midnight, so maybe new staff and short of. Overall, it was a good stay and a good place to stay

I booked a 6-night stay at the Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington from 21/10/2024 to 26/10/2024, and my experience has been extremely disappointing. On 24/10/2024 at 10 AM, I was shocked to be woken up by loud construction noises coming from the next room. After a long night of meetings, I had just returned to my room at 9 AM, hoping for some much-needed sleep. To my disbelief, the hotel failed to inform me beforehand that construction would be taking place.I attempted to call the reception multiple times, both from the room telephone and my mobile, but no one bothered to answer. Frustrated, I then called room service, and they assured me they would address the issue. However, they completely ignored me, and the noise persisted, making it impossible to rest.Out of sheer exhaustion, I went down to the reception in person, expecting it to be extremely busy, which might explain their lack of response. To my surprise, I found three staff members casually chatting with each other, clearly not busy at all. When I asked to speak to the manager, they seemed indifferent and acted as if my complaint was an inconvenience. Eventually, one of them went inside to speak to the manager and returned, offering me a lower-class room on another floor, which felt like a “take it or leave it” situation. The attitude was dismissive, and the solution offered was completely inadequate. Moving my belongings would take significant time, and the alternative room was not appealing either.I decided to remain in my original room, but the lack of professionalism and the overall indifference of the staff left me with a very negative impression. I have attached a video to show the situation.I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and pleasant stay. The poor communication, the disregard for guests’ comfort, and the staff’s unhelpful attitude are completely unacceptable for a hotel of this standard.

I stayed in the hotel this Sunday. The room was spotless and the view was lovely in the night. Reception team was very friendly and bubbly. I really liked the centrally controlled lights switches so I didn't have to keep moving around the room switching off lights. The views were nice, I was surprised to see the London eye (didn't think it was close).The hotel is so close to the station so its easy to travel around. I also loved that it was so close to Kensington Palace.

"Check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient. The rooms are spacious and come with excellent accessories, making the stay comfortable and enjoyable. The only downside was the noise from nearby trains, but apart from that, it was a brilliant experience

Location was great, close to restaurants and shops. Staff were incredibly lovely and friendly.The rooms were very dated and in need of a massive refresh. We stayed on the 'quiet' side of level 2. Room was falling apart, thick dust in the corner where the exposed pipe was and the pillows were so thin, we may as well not of had them!Not sure if the upgraded rooms are cleaner and more comfortable as we were in the standard roomCannot fault the location

I stayed here for 5days and experience was awesome. Specially the front office and concierge staffs were very good. I met Miss Afshan and Miss Prasanna in reception. They were very helpful and good human beings.The only thing I just want to add there should be a separate bathing console addition to the bathtub .Another thing I want to mention Mr Nicholas ,Mr Osman and other staffs in the concierge are also brilliant,helpful and kind. Enjoyed the stay...🤟
