Great location!

We had stayed here before and liked the location and the rooms. Nothing really fancy. But would definitely stay here again, and would recommend it to others.

Very nice in every way!

Concierge service was excellent! Location was convenient to the Tube system. I had "Club" membership included and it was great...internet access, breakfast..very convenient. Of all the places I've stayed in my several trips to UK & Ireland this was, by far, the best hotel I've stayed in.

great hotel!

We stayed in a club room, this was our retirement celebration trip. The staff was wonderful every day they helped us find our way on metro or arranged tours for us. I needed extra pillows due to a recent surgey and no problems. The club room private lounge with breakfast and wine and beer hour was a nice treat. Great location safe and near park and tubes. Ate at resturants, also good. Rooms large and great veiws. Would stay again.

buy the historical palace membership for hampton court, tower of london, kenningston palace, kew palace, and banquetting house. It saves money and you do not have to wait in lines. Historic Royal Palaces.

First London Visit

Exceeded our expectations. The Tara offers exceptional luxury with the help of an amazing staff. Special mention for Seema at check-in, Kinga at Breakfast in the club lounge, Doorman-[...], Conceirge-[...], Bartender-[...]. The Tara is walking distance to the Underground ( Tube), restaurants, shopping, and Kensington Gardens. From our room we enjoyed a spectacular view of downtowm London and the London Eye. I readily recommend the Tara to anyone visiting London. Best way to get around is with the Oyster Card which includes auto discounted fares.

Concierge a bit limited in terms

Concierge a bit limited in terms of knowing the neighborhood, and in speaking English. Restaurants very good and very reasonably priced. Additional seervices (wi-fi, for example) very very expensive.
