Location was good for Kensington High Street and the tube station. Plenty of very nice restaurants, including the ones at the hotel. Very long walking distance to Winter Wonderland but OK if you're fit and healthy.
Hotel was very busy so there was an overflow room used for breakfast. All tables were for 10-12 people so if you don't mind sharing that's OK, we do mind sharing. All of the breakfast items were cold eg. Bacon, eggs, sausages etc...

It was well located, clean and cozy.
They didn’t provide an extra bed., luckily the bed was bug enough for the 3 of us. We got there and they charged us more money than was announced on the booking. I thought booking already converted the price to euros.

Propreté état de la chambre

La habitación era amplia y el baño también, con una buena repisa para poder dejar tus cosas. Hacen cambio de toallas todos los días y hay calefacción bastante potente. La cama tenía 4 almohadas confortables, aunque el colchón estaba un poco hundido. Hay tabla de planchar y plancha, y también secador de pelo.
Íbamos con un bebé y pedí con antelación o una cuna o una cama más grande para que mi hijo durmiera con nosotros, pero no tuvimos ninguna de las 2 opciones. Tampoco había la famosa Kettle, a pesar de sí haber 2 tazas y sobres de cafés y infusiones. También había un par de chanclas de ir por casa, lo cual es buen detalle, pero era una habitación doble y solo había un par… Y en el frigorífico había un sándwich que entendemos que era del anterior huésped. También tienen una aplicación para hacer, por ejemplo, un pedido de comida y lo lleven a tu habitación. Nosotros hicimos uno, y viendo que había pasado 1h y no traían nada, bajó mi marido a recepción y le dijeron que no les había llegado el pedido. Fueron pequeños detalles que nos decepcionaron un poco….

Check in staff were friendly and welcoming, as were the doormen and other staff. The reception area and lobby gave a great first impression
The room itself, extremely tired and not to the standard of a 4 star hotel I expect. Bathroom was the same, very tired and in need of a refurb. We had booked a double room which was two single beds pushed together and were different heights, and the pillows were poor. Room size was small as well. Also the lift situation at check out was poor, I had to wait 10 minutes to get a lift as some were out of service, I tried to follow the signs for the stairs but that led to a dead end and a series of fire doors.

Very pleasant check in lady said upgraded us to room 911. Soon realised that cold water replaced by very hot water in bath and sink therefore could not shower or drink the water. Informed front desk when going to appt and checked when returned front desk said repaired but was not. Still the same problem. Engineer came temporary repair only. Not good enough for cost of the room.
Tried lots of times to ring reception and report water fault but no reply - had to go down in lift.

It was very crowded at breakfast. The furniture at my room was quite worn.

Only the location was good but the customer service was terrible. Especially the receptionist who served us needs retraining or for the hotel to replace her. Would never visit this place again and not reccomend this hotel to local rats.
Usually, the reception serves as the face and soul of the establishment, where guests are warmly greeted by helpful and friendly customer service representatives, welcoming them with open arms and a smile as wide as the Cheshire cat. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case here. The receptionist wore a thunderous expression, making us feel like more of a hindrance than welcomed guests. Despite our lack of fuss, she took her time checking us in, typing away at her keyboard seemingly without inputting any relevant information. My feedback to the management would be that she either requires serious retraining or they should consider finding someone else for the job!
The lobby itself seemed to belong to another era, with its dated decor and furniture. The sight of world clocks against the wooden backdrop behind the reception gave the impression of a scene from a 70s movie—a time capsule to the past!
Regarding the food, it was a mixed bag. While the nachos for starters looked and tasted subpar, the burger and fish were delicious but not worth the hefty price tag of over £90. One could find something just as good at Burger King for a fraction of the cost.
Later that evening, we decided to order takeout as we were still a bit hungry. We requested cutlery and a dinner tray from room service, only to receive the most unprofessional response: "yeah, safe." It felt as though the hotel had hired teenagers to answer phone calls, reminiscent of my teenage years saying goodbye to friends in the school sports hall. Despite calling again 30 minutes later, the cutlery never arrived, leaving us uncertain if they even attempted to fulfill our request.

Location for Royal Alber Hall is excellent
Bad check-in experience. One member of the reception desk staff was rather rude and left us waiting for a long time before resolving a problem with the hotel's payment system. It has put us off using this hotel in the future.
3.0
The receptionist was friendly. The room was pleasant. The bar was adequate with pleasant staff. The meal in the Brasserie on our first night was good and the waiter very friendly and the service was good.
There wasn't a good enough variety of cereals at breakfast time.
The meal on the second night was not good. We had very long wait. The chips, when they arrived were cold.The waiting staff were very apologetic at the time and explained that it was due to staff shortage in the kitchen. We feel that this was unacceptable for a 4 Star hotel!! (The Chinese New Year celebrations seemed to take precedence)
The room had tea making facilities and on day 1 we were provided with a packet of 2 cookies but not on day 2. Why?

main areas of the hotel were good, with really helpful staff
we stayed on 2nd floor and the room was tired and know this would have been reflected in the price we paid

No extra bed, only 1 double bed(booked for 1 adult, X2 children)!had to move rooms 3 times! Had to ask repeatedly for tea bags and milk. Room was poor quality, air con not working. I was told after speaking to the manager to email guest services to complain, we were offered free breakfast however this wasn't something that compensated the upset and convenience. Stick to a premier Inn or Travelodge as you know what to expect.

Staff was helpful, location is 5 minutes away from the nearest subway station, lots of shops around and good restaurants.
We had to switch rooms twice due to a strong smell of mildew coming from the ventilation systems, covering the room. Second room had the same problem. Staff helped us out and gave us a final third room that didnt have this problem.
However in the final room there were a lot of wires hanging out from the electrical equipment, there was a lot of water damage in the room. In general the experience given for this price did not feel worth it, and while we were trying to get help for our room problem other guests were complaining about lack of hot water, electricity etc.
You can’t open the windows and the ventilation system is your only way to get air in. Dated ventilation system.
Thin sheets and pillows.
Thin walls could hear someone having an argument throughout the night.

Susan at the front desk is an absolute gem. She sorted out a few concerns graciously and professionally. We’ll be back.
Needs a refurb, but the price remains fair for the location.

This was once a really lovely hotel - 4 star - it is now very little above a hostel, but still charging high prices. What a shock! I have been back to London and will never go to the Copthorne Tara again.
