"Noticeable Deterioration"
On this visit, we have been so very disappointed in the the Copthorne Tara Hotel. Having returned here with South African family after 30 years of using the hotel, we have been embarrassed at its deterioration on so many levels. Countless aspects of lack of care have been very noticeable: a nasty, stale urine smell in ensuite, even after supposed cleaning, screw holes left in walls, hanging hooks swivelling around, housekeeping staff not following door-hang sign, concierge often absent from post, serving staff not understanding English, carpets ripped, too many to mention, just a general malaise overall. We suspect that management has changed, but not for the better! I certainly would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone and would actively discourage booking it, after so many years recommending it to others, our `go-to` hotel in London! Sadly disappointed!

"Nice hotel"
I`ve no complaints about the Copthorne Tara hotel, my room was a decent size, the bed was comfortable, the bath towels were of a good quality, there was a mini fridge and everything was clean. The buffet breakfast was good, with plenty of choice.

The booking was for 3 people, which meant a double and single. When checking in the single bed had not been provided, therefore we had to wait for an additional bed. Bathroom requires a little updating

"Good room, acceptable stay"
Not our first stay here and mostly fine with the following observations. The check in queue was horrendous, maybe we were unlucky. Room was comfortable but should undertake a deep clean. Breakfast was very busy and a little underwhelming. It served our purpose though as we were there for just one night.

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.
