Ideal location for business or pleasure

Copthorne is in a great location for business, travel and weekends away. Prices can vary so I only book when a deal is on but access from Paddington is great and then on to the city.

The opinion of a retired hotelier

The reception staff were more like government bearocrats no welcoming smile. Room 1020 2 nails in wall. Maybe stolen picture. Pillows had seen better days shower works when filling up the bath and light bulb out at entrance to room. No pen/paper in room. Fridge excellent temperature. Reception area huge but only two staff on duty customers standing waiting should be a system that the queue is orderly in order to stop people coming in from left or right sides. Left luggage staff good. There could be sweets or fruit on front desk.

Good central hotel

The location of the hotel was excellent for our needs. The service, that we used, was good and the room staff very helpful. The room was a bit tired but everything worked ok.

The lobby, common areas, location are great. Those dreadful secondary glazed, dirty windows so common on older buildings and terrifically expensive to upgrade let the overall feel down.
