The location of this hotel is wonderful. It is close to many of the key attractions of London. A comfortable stay in a nice, well appointed room.

I have used the Copthorne more than any other hotel. Service was excellent and I am quite happy with it. However, rooms have insufficient drawer space for an extended stay, the lifts still seem to be an issue, and I was disappointed to find two of my favourite features gone i.e. the little paper and souvenir shop and the little coffee and snack cafe inside the entrance.

Dear Wotif Thank you for your review. I am pleased that you enjoyed your most recent stay with us. I appreciate your feedback regarding the souvenir shop and cafe and I am sorry for any disappointment caused. The shop was a partner of the hotel and moved out of the premises. The cafe is temporarily in another area of the hotel but will return to the lobby bigger and better in due course. Thank you for the feedback. I look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Kind regards Ben, General Manager

Positives : Very nice hotel, conveniently located in Kensington, close to tube station. Easy to get to and park and drop off guests. Very pleasant and helpful staff, fabulous buffet breakfast and some very good restaurants in the hotel. Areas for improvement: Could do with an update / lift to the rooms. Though comfortable looks a bit tired. The elevator system definitely needs remedial action immediately, the waiting time for an elevator is 5to10 minutes or more during peak times, and you would be lucky if you found a space to squeeze in if you were on the lower floors as they were full. It seemed at times that out of about 5 or 6 elevators that only one was in working order.

Dear David Thank you for your review. I am glad that you were overall satisfied with your stay on this occasion. I appreciate your comments about your experience and I have shared with the team. Regarding the lifts, there are 5 guest lifts in the hotel and we are currently replacing all of them for more modern and efficient machines. Unfortunately this project takes some time per lift and although there are progress, there is still some way to go for completion. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused, but I assure you that this project will greatly improve the service we provide to our guests. I hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back soon in the future. Kind regards Nathan, General manager

Close to shopping and there is always a bank of taxis close to the hotel. Food in the restaurant was very good as well.

Getting a bit old and needs an update

After the first night we had to move rooms,the train track was at the back of our room. This was done without any fuss. When we came back in the afternoon to our new room, the hair dryer didn’t work, the bar fridge leaked, tv remote didn’t work and at night all the lights in the room kept turning of and on. This was fixed the next day. Another room was offered but we couldn’t be bothered changing again.
