It ticks all the boxes. It just needs a bit of tweaking - the room was old and had a stuffy smell, but you can't open windows to air it out, not easy to get to/find the information in the room e.g. when restaurants/cafe are open, the phone had no information on how to call reception or how to book one of the restaurants, the QR code to get to the information is helpful but the page itself is not very clear to use, and when ordering room service through it we got a phone call to confirm the order but it was confusing on what was happening, you also couldn't charge to the room for room service or the restaurants.

Sadly I must say I was very disappointed with the hotel, and maybe last year I stayed in an other millennium hotel, 5 star. This year was a surprise, front reception and halls identical, however the room was a complete let down and definitely not even worth the amount we paid for the room. The room was very tired looking, worn down, bathroom unclean, definitely areas of improvement. I would never want to book at the Tara Copthorne hotel.

I stayed here mid October 2024. Basing this ONLY off the room I stayed in. It was clean and everything was functional as it should be. I wish it was updated and in a little better condition, but I was overall happy with everything I had in my room (The coffee/tea kettle was wonderful and heated up SO FAST!). My main gripe with the room is the King bed was 2 mattresses together with no real top padding so the seam of where the two met together was a bit uncomfortable at times. The staff from the desk to concierge I dealt with was friendly and accommodating. Being able to drop off your luggage after an overnight flight so you can go out and explore the city before you are able to check in is a lifesaver and made life soooo easy my first day. The facility was clean, and super easy to get to the High Street Kensington tube stop. Plenty of shopping, restaurants and convenience stores in the area including in the station. Also a short walk to Kensington Palace, Hyde Park, and very walkable to Notting Hill. I was able to walk up to Notting Hill, amd through Portobello Road, Holland Park, and Kensington all the first day with plenty of time to spare in the late afternoon/evening, so it is a convenient location. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thanks to the great staff for making things effortless for me 😃

I have to be honest the hotel was completely full and there was a long line waiting for breakfast so gave up waiting. The hotel is now feeling very tired and can’t help but feel the hotel is adopting a stack en high, sell them cheap approach which is reflecting in the tired look of the hotel. Had a very good experience with one of the check in staff but other than that I can’t see myself returning.

This hotel is very outdated. Needs renovations for the price paid. Bathroom is very old with a bathtub so high and very dangerous with a glass door hitting the sink. The sofa and chairs have a lot stains even the walls. A lot of noise between the walls looks like the water pipes are making too much noise all the time. The workers are pleasant and helpful. .

Disappointing-the staff are rude and disengaged, highly unprofessional, more training required. The dining tables are dirty and common areas are littered with garbage. The rooms are old and basic, there is no sound-proofing. Not worthy of a Millennium hotel brand

They've made a huge improvement on service - the staff are lovely and very service minded. Overall I guess it is good value for money. My main problem that impacted the score was the smell in my room. I was on the 10th floor - and while they upgraded me to an executive (?) room it just smelt horrible and it felt unsanitary. I got in late so I could not face calling down to change the room - but it wasn't great and when you can't open the windows it really impacts the overall impression. Old infrastructure really shows.
