Very convenient location. No gym or pool though. Approach to the entrance is spoiled due to poor external planning. Walking across 100 metres of roadway tarmac seems daunting and uninspiring.

Same old same old

Our stay was good. Only thing there were some things different like no little spoon to stir coffee. No plastic on the bins. The room heater/cooler was making a loud sound, maybe you should check that with an electrician.

Why was no recycling available? Most hotel rooms have 2 bins now, one for recyclables and one for landfill. Copthorne Tara should have that too. But it’s excellent that you will soon have hotel bicycles. When they are working it will be fantastic.

An ok hotel

Overall, it was a pleasant enough stay. The room is very tired with old curtains and tired interior. However it is clean with the basic amenities. The advantage is the convenient location and fair price and the room size is quite generous. The sound proof is not very good as people’s conversation can be heard from our room, but not sure it’s from the room next door or upstairs?

Don’t book this Hotel

The Room allocated was occupied when we arrived. On complaining, we were greeted by rudeness from the manager. He insisted I had booked 3 accessible rooms which I hadn’t. I told him I’d been booking the Hotel for over 15 years and had never booked accessible rooms. He continued to insist I had. It’s the last time I book this Hotel. Awful behaviour.
