very nice older hotel

Very nice hotel with good service and an excellent restaurant. Hotel is older 1960's or 1970's and much of the room furnishings are older but very adequate. The price we paid for our stay here more than compensated for that. Also, it is only a long block away from the tube or bus and busy Kensington High Street shopping area. Within walking distance to the Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park. We would definitely stay here again.

Buy an Oyster card for tube and bus travel all over the city and save. We used the bus quite a bit. Each trip was £1.20 instead of the normal £2. Take the tube all the way to Heathrow Airport when you leave for only £2.60, a great deal. A cab will cost you £55 to the airport.

get an oyster card, great for use of tube system and bus system, like a bank card, put the amount of money you want on it and its is cheaper, 1.10 per way verses 4.00 one way. use your ATM to get money and 1.00 service charge from you bank, of course you money will be converted to pounds.

Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

The hotel was nice, but I thought the room was plain and outdated.The pillows were flat or lumpy, The TV was extremely old and did not work to well. The location was nice, close to shopping and Kensington Gardens. The charge for internet was 15 bucks a day. This day and age I think internet should be included for free. Internet is more important to me then any other service a hotel could offer.I was polite and didn't complain about anything but I felt the staff didn't like me because I was American.

Awsome London Visit

This hotel was very close to Kensington Palace, Royal Albert Hall and Hyde Park. Just a very short walk to the London Underground station which is easy to use and will connect you to anywhere in London you want to go.

Hotel Location

I was there for pleasure. I visited some sites in London. There was nothing missing in my opinion. The staff was super helpful. This was the first time I had been in London. I have only taken trips in the United States. I would definately stay at the hotel again. Thank you, John Cota.

Having the refrigerator was especially helpful. The quality of the beds (mattresses), pillows, and blankets was excellent. The rooms were very clean and of a good size.
