Noisy heating system in room

Hotel was lovely and will go back but heating system in room was noisy all night. Reception said we should have reported but didn’t really grasp that we came in from evening at theatre at 11.30 and went straight to bed. We were not going to ring at 12.30 in the morning for maintenance or move rooms. Didn’t sleep all night so maybe we should have but you always think you will drop off don’t you. I simply don’t believe this was the first time they have been told

Won't stay again

The hotel exterior is very very tired. 70s, and dirty, with bizarrely branded restaurants signposted on site. The lobby is quite nice, with seating and plenty of reception desks, however we were ignored on check in, with 2 of the 5 staff with other guests, and the other 3 staff doing nothing, so check in took too long (especially considering I checked in online AND with the tablet onsite). The restaurants seemed nice, but were empty - we did not eat there, so cannot comment further. The room itself was very much of a dated Travelodge quality. Very old decor (with toothpaste on the picture in the bathroom), a very old TV, a hairdryer with a cord so short it was literally unusable, loose sockets, limited lighting, no window control, rubbish HVAC, again, from the 70s. Bed was moderately comfortable. Shower was weak, very old bathroom suite. However, else vexed us must was the price of water from the "shop" in reception. £3.79 for a 330ml bottle is outrageous extortion and profiteering. Would not stay again. The Holiday Inn that is adjacent looked much better.

Stay was very good. However all seven of us paid for breakfast and all agreed it was the worst breakfast we have had when staying away. Cold and undercooked really disappointing. The hotel needs to invest in some way of keeping the food warm

Dirty, Mouldy and Tatty

The room was awful, tired and dated. It was set up for two single beds so the wall-mounted headboards weren't where they should be and my pillows were right on the light switches, so I ended up turning the lights on in the night, waking me up. The bathroom was very tatty, the shower hose was covered in black mould and the shower curtain was ripped. This was nothing like a 4 star hotel.

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.
