West-End. The University of London and the British Museum are a stones throw away. All our rooms are en-suite with toilet and bathrooms.All our rooms have been refurnished recently by a well known designer.
Inside are some of the most extravagant interiors of any boutique hotel in London. A Georgian facade, a sweeping staircase, a roof terrace with sumptuous views over Marylebone and the West End, a lively nightclub, a leather-lined cigar bar ? this boutique is classic and elegant with a contemporary twist. Guests will find themselves in an oasis of grandeur in the heart of London.
Advantages: So cheap, clean, quiet Disadvantages: No facilities beyond the bare minimum

It is easy to see why this so called hotel has a self appointed 4 star rating. The web descriptions and photos do not really show a true picture. (Clever photographer) and do not indicate that the rating is self appointed. We booked a double room for 4 nights at a reasonable price between 125 - 145 per night between Christmas and new year.
We arrived at the hotel prior to booking in time and walked into what I can only describe as the seediest reception ... ...the desk however was very friendly and helpful. He informed us that we were in room 103 and that it was one of the best rooms. A good start. (Thank goodness we were on the First floor, No lift!!) The hotel appeared to be reasonably clean but smelled musty. The Room: Small, very small. It had an overpowering smell of shake 'n' vac and bleach. The carpet was filthy and the mattress on the bed reduced to about 1 inch when the bags were placed on it.

Getting There:
--------------------
The Copthorne Tara Hotel is conveniently situated a short walk (about 5 minutes) from the Kensington High Street Tube station. This means that getting to and from the hotel is quick and convenient. The Kensington... more
I'm a big fan of Ibis hotels and stay in them for both business and pleasure. I had, however, read a bad opinion of the London Euston branch, so when I found myself needing to stay in Euston the other night it was with slight trepidation that I booked... more
Basically, if you're considering staying here, you probably have a small budget. If this is the case, I can reccommend it as it is great value for money. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms are basic yet clean, and the breakfast is more
