We have had a wonderful few days at this hotel. I cannot fault it in any way. There is an excellent heating system at your hotel and in particular the bedroom was so warm and comfortable. The breakfast was truly comprehensive. I will definitely revisit this hotel for another stay in the future. Having the underground just around the corner was another added feature and bonus to staying at this hotel. Thank you so much for your attentiveness throughout the stay.

Very dated rooms and we were allocated accessible rooms although no one in our party has physical disabilities which would need them. The shower was not very powerful or warm and the enclosure was in a very poor condition. All in all not a very pleasant stay.

This is the second time I have stayed at the Copthorne Tara and it really is a lovely Hotel, clean, warm, comfortable with welcoming staff and in a great location for visiting museums etc. Beds are very comfortable, and staff seem very attentive, I would certainly stay again.

"It wasn`t as good as when we went before"
We were disappointed with our stay this time at this hotel.There was no bottled water in the room and only a qr code for information on the hotel. The breakfast wasn`t as good with little choice and the tea and coffee was all out of a machine for breakfast. Drinks in the lobby were expensive and you had to use a disembodied card machine to pay. In general the hotel seem tired.

"A little tired, don`t get a room at the back."
Great location to visit museums. Hotel is expensive and looks a little tired. Our room was at the rear with a train track running parallel. Very noisy all through the night. If you prefer a hotel base I would personally use a holiday inn or premier inn. They would generally be cheaper.
