Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington

10/10 Excellent
"The property was really nice. Staff amazing. My only critique is floors can be updated. A little outdated. I was on club floor 11. When my flight got cancelled I booked an extra night on a regular floor 4 which was nicer than the club floor. Loved daily breakfast included in club stay"
