Big comfy room in a great location
Nothing
Friendly approachable staff. Restaurant was good plenty of choice. Room was comfortable, apart from pillows. Great location to get to office
Pillows
Breakfast is always good here and the rooms are spacious.
Staff always friendly and helpful
Have stayed here previously, for a wedding in 2016. As we were back in the area, last weekend, for two nights, we stayed at the Copthorne again. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Rooms comfortable and warm. Excellent beds and bathroom facilities. Delicious breakfast with plenty of choice. Staff very professional, and also friendly. We are planning on visiting the area again in Spring '27. Will definitely stay here again.
Can't really think of anything negative to say.
Not much
Dirty, broken fixtures and fittings e.g. hook on bathroom door, paint peeling of walls, shower pole broken, dirty tea set
Realy nice hotel nice sruff and food was perfect
Swiming pool beer and breakfast
Nothing
Cleanliness, and nothing worked, had to be moved room as the original one was filthy, the appliances didn’t work coffee machine was broken towels were unclean and smelt, worst hotel experience I have ever had

Great location, friendly staff.
Parking on site is charged extra, no AC in the rooms.
Very nice room on the third floor major scaffolding work going on to replace windows but didn’t impact us. Breakfast was good we did have dinner on the Fri with our friends which was good.
Plenty of decaf coffee but no decaf tea available also in our room we only had whole milk but the nice chap on reception gave us some semi skimmed. Also had to order meals at the bar instead of at the table bit odd especially as there were 6 of us but with pen & paper all good.
Reception staff were brilliant! Food was good! Bed was comfortable
No table numbers when ordering food! And no information about ordering food! No controlls 4 heating inthe room!
Staff were lovely and reception area is lovely
Rooms are very dated and in need of modernising. Hotel reception area is so lovely but when you walk into your room you are disappointed.
Location was good
The Hotel had no Air Con. manager at time offered to do a refund which was kind of him but I’ve been chasing for 1 month as not received money. Still no reply although Booking.com confirmed refund.
Bed box in the bed. My fiancé was beaten all over at to go to the doctors to get it looked at And a day off work
The cleanliness of the room and the bed was absolutely disgusting.
Room size is great, bathrooms are very clean. Location is great.
Fridge was filthy but rest of the room was immaculate. Restaurant is great for breakfast but very hit and miss in the evenings and chef is gone by 20:45
The staff were very helpful and friendly which made our stay more enjoyable
Being in a room opposite the lift it was quite noisy
Breakfast Marvellous
Good place next to the water front and a shopping mall
Price
Room very hot
Staff were friendly and the room was clean and tidy.
However the bed was so hard, it really could have been more comfortable. The location is nothing like you expect from the photos. It's surrounded by office buildings and small industrial estates . Breakfast was plentiful but only of average quality. The coffee comes from a machine and is truly terrible.
The staff were professional and it was clean
Nothing
Location, friendliness and cleanliness
Suite was great, maybe could’ve done with sliding doors to separate the room and living area but having it open was also a benefit
I booked the executive suite, could’ve at least provided a box of sort tissues
Nice canal side location.
There was a little bit of noise from the bars across the water. But all finished by midnight.
B&B
Clean and comfy
The blonde lady on the reception was very friendly, informative and welcoming. Sorry we didn't get her name but she was on duty the late afternoon that we arrived and the following morning. Vicky the Restaurant Manager was also good and her staff were pleasant. The room was good and breakfast choice is decent.
The fact that there is now a private car parking company who have taken over the hotel carpark and is charging hotel guests £6 a night. Used to be complimentary for staying hotel guests. Still should be.
There wasnt anything i didnt like..
Nothing
As soon as we got to reception we were greeted with a big smile. It was a gentleman who was on reception desk around 3pm. Sorry to say this but he had a round face baldish head but he was fantastic
Love staying here it's a nice place and conveniant
Nothing
Staff helpful. Room clean. Great location.
Large bedroom, professional and polite reception staff.
Breakfast continues to let this hotel down. At this visit, coffee machines didn't work and when they were sorted the coffee was only Luke warm. Cereal bowls weren't clean.
Good location
The desk in the room covered the plug sockets. I had to move it forward to access them, then bend over the desk to put a plug in the socket.
Great hotel and the 12 checkout was great
Nothng
Location
The fact that we had to pay £6 for a one night stay on their car park which we were not told about which really is poor when you are a resident in the hotel
Excellent location, good value for money, good food and the early bird and happy hour is great value your money.
Good choice and additional cooked options on request. Very friendly staff in the breakfast area.
La localisation, les équipements pour le sport et spa
Was clean and staff were lovely
It’s right by the shops
Everything top customer service
Nothing
Well located and central
The room was not topped up with toilet rolls, Tea and coffee facilities or clean towels for the 3 nights we stayed.
Attended a event on Sunday night at the hotel and the staff was so kind to both myself & my partner we are both disabled & in wheelchairs. Especially receptionist Donna & a young lad in didn't get his name.
Nothing.
Great clean
Nothing the staff room was superb
Breakfast was lovely, clean room, bed comfy, pool and hot tub area nice extra included. Fridge in the room was brilliant
Slightly run down in places, spa therapist miserable I wouldn't book a treatment again
Situ, clean, nice breakfast
V friendly staff
Excellent location, very friendly staff who went out of their way to help. We didnt have any shampoo in the container. My partner mentioned it when we went down for breakfast, when we went back up to the room it had been filled.
Nothing.
Location and hotel facilities were excellent
We requested 2 x rooms next to each other and at the last minute we were told that this was not possible we received a text just after 8am in the morning asking what time we were leaving our room which was not appreciated and very poor customer service.
Very spacious and clean environment
Nothing
The problem is that there's no air conditioning in the rooms, and during the summer, the temperature in the room got really bad....
Good spacious room, lovely staff
N/a
The rooms are always comfortable, the staff are always amazing. The breakfast is always good value- although as a vegetarian, I was disappointed that there were no mushrooms this visit. Big shout out to the chap at reception who managed to find us some scales so we could weigh our luggage before heading to Heathrow Airport!
Nothing major - Perhaps a few more toilets rolls in the bathroom!
Staff are so lovely, very helpful. 10/10 Beds are fab, so comfy.
The place is clean, in a good location, it was too warm at night so couldn't sleep due to the warm weather.
There is no air-conditioning and couldn't sleep well,due to the heat.
Friendly staff, comfy big bed, fluffy towels, excellent food. The Copthorne is situated very close to Merry Hill shopping centre which is enormous with hundreds of shops. It is also within easy reach of several attractions such as the Black Country museum, Safari park and Zoo.
Parking can be difficult on a busy Saturday night.
The staff were amazing, my room allocated was beautiful and the view was so pretty. My first time staying here.
The tiredness of decor all paint chipped. The ventilation was poor and I think the in room drink facilities could be better so basic and the kettle was tired. Packet sauce sachets in the restaurant were horrible but beautiful cloth napkins!!!
Another lovely stay at our ‘home from home’
Nothing
Bedding wasn’t clean
Staff were helpful throughout. They gave an option of how to avoid paying £18 car parking fee. The pool, steam room and sauna allowed us the chance to relax and the view of the canal from our room was lovely.
The Waterfront was deserted. A few eateries were open but otherwise there was nothing going on directly outside the hotel. It is great if you like quiet. The spa was fully booked from Friday to Monday so could not get any treatments. And the wifi was sporadic so had to use my data throughout the stay.
Was nice friendly hotel, staff both reception, restaurant and pool where excellent
Breakfast - 8.30 and everything empty, no yoghurts, crossiants, bananas, pancake mixture, mugs, small plates, no jam, staff did their very best but our breakfast was ruined by having to continually ask putting ladies under more pressure, would possibly look elsewhere as a leisurely good breakfast is so important when on a rest break.
Breakfast was excellent
Spacious room. Helpful staff.
Room next door very noisy - having a party during the night. The soup was so poor I did not eat it. The bathroom was draughty and smelled of cigarette smoke.
Location very good for visiting friends & family.
The food menu wasn't very.exciting.
Convenient
The staff Location Cleaning
It was advertised that the room has a Air-condition unit but nothing of such and I can not imagine if my stay was few weeks ago when the weather was very hot. Though the staff provided me with a mobile A/c unit but I have to go to the bar to get ice which it is still not effective despite the fair weather.
Location
Requires a revamp, looking a bit tired in places
Clean, roomy, nice staff
Location and cleanliness
Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Auswahl beim Frühstück war ok.
Ausstattung schon deutlich älter und abgenutzt.
Nice and friendly staff
N/A
The room was nice and spacious, as was the bathroom. The reception and dining area were very well presented, and the fact that there was a pool and leisure facility was a nice bonus. The bed was comfortable, and the room contained a fridge that was handy for storing purchased supplies. The staff were all really friendly, welcoming and helpful; and the breakfast had excellent choice - exceeding the usual expectations on its continental selection.
I feel like the rooms (or at least our room) would have benefitted from a more thorough clean in between guests. On one of the days of our week long stay we opted for the "clean" room option instead of the "refresh" option, and we both struggled to notice any difference other than the pillow cases had been changed (although it is possible that the toiletries were restocked at that point). The rooms also feel like they would benefit from modernisation - just a simple redecoration and improving the usability of the facilities would do, although installation of air conditioning would be amazing (a quite good electric fan was provided by the hotel, but air con would be ideal if possible).
Thre Hotel is well run. Clean . Always an easy stress free stay. We have used this hotel many times. Always good value
The price variation. Sometimes out of the blue the rooms become very expensive. Ime sure the hotel has their reasons. It's normally a very competitive price. Which we like . Just had a few grips now and then
The location was great the staff were great the food was very enjoyable we ate in the evening and breakfast. The rooms as requested were adjacent to each other the rooms were clean and our view was over the marina
Unfortunately the executive suite which was adjacent to one of our rooms with a connecting door was occupied by a couple who were having very loud and audible sex. Our 11 year old went to the room alone and came back not knowing what he heard saying he could hear groaning and people slapping each other we dismissed this and he wanted to sleep in his grandmas room so heard nothing further. His parents however were subjected to a prolonged audio version well into the night of what appeared to be very noisy and violent sex. Not the best start to our holiday but difficult to know who to tell
The shower
The food
Very clean well maintained
Amazing location, nice breakfast, very clean, wonderful staff
Nothing
Very was tasty and plenty of it, the room was clean and comfortable. A little tired in places.
Redecorate the room
Bedrooms dated, no sockets near bed
Access to the leisure facilities - swimming, sauna, steam and jacuzzi The staff are very welcoming and hospitable. A problem with a malfunctioning safe in my room was sorted quickly I enjoyed 2 good meals in the restaurant on the evenings - an excellent steak and a tasty curry
Disliked · I think that the hotel group should consider seriously investing in air conditioning in bedrooms. This is standard in many hotels. I stayed during the latest heatwave (temperatures up to 36 degrees on second day). The provision of fans helped but not enough. The bathrooms could do with refurbishing. Modern walk-in showers are par in many hotels of a similar price. The shower was over the bath - was okay, but could have been better. The toilet flush was very poor.
The location was great the staff were very good and the food was good
How you had to ask for offers in restaurant even though advertising was all over the hotel . The hotel in itself could do with updating in parts also could do with Aircon
The staff were amazing and breakfast was great couldn’t have asked for more
We loved everything couldn’t fault anything
The staff were lovely
The bathrooms were not clean. Limescale and mouldy. Hairs in the bathtub from previous stayers. Walls filled with dust and for an expensive stay air conditioning should be available
Good location for our stay
Room was tired and we payed for an upgrade breakfast service was poor cold food some items not cooked properly a guest complained a nd received verbal abuse from a female member of staff
Very helpful friendly staff
Hotel rather dated/tired Food very average Fan provided to cool room was almost useless Rats spotted in garden area
Lovely . Very nice in every way. Would stay again . Great buffer breakfast
Nothing
Welcoming and comfortable - great pillows
No aircon, room was boiling hot ..one small fan. Very outdated and run down hotel
Good location, great staff. Room 107 a decent size with a comfortable bed. However, no air conditioning, wallpaper peeling in places and sink tap mismatched with the sink. Fan provided in the room but only one of two turn and tilt windows could open, not great in a room with no aircon on a really hot day.
See above.
Nice room, great size, clean bathroom. Staff were very helpful, would definitely stay again.
It’s a clean hotel and the service is affect
Parkeren voor de deur en historisch kanaal nabij.
Kamer en gangen waren uitgeleefd. Kamer veel vlekken en schades. Het was heel warm maar moet eerlijk zeggen dat was het buiten ook. Raam kon ‘s nachts niet open.
Appreciated midday check out and 2 key cards. Enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room - at many hotels one is out of action. Staff efficient and polite.
Lack of air con but a good fan was provided. A £6 parking charge if you didn't join the rewards scheme.
No hassle, quiet and clean
Illy coffee machine not filled up
Lovely welcome at reception. Comfy, clean room with fridge, which helped as it was hot weather. Great view of canal and easy access to Merry Hill. A very enjoyable and memorable stay.
Location was ok.
I advised Booking.com to advise the hotel that I am short in stature (4ft 2inches) and that I would require a room to access the basin and shower along with a bed of suitable height. Copthorne had not received this notification and had to change my room to a disabled access one. However, they could not provide a step to assist me to get in to bed. I had to use an upturned rubbish bin. This is not acceptable.
Staff at reception were very helpful
Room too hot. It faced west and window can only be open a crack. Some people may have difficulty getting in and out of shower, which is over the bath. No hand rail to assist
Great location Friendly staff Clean rooms
Location was amazing ! View from our room was amazing. The gym was not bad. Breakfast had a good selection of items
The rooms were a bit tired with some rough finishes, but it was completely adequate and the bed was comfy and the tv had access to Netflix so that was amazing. The noise from the bar directly opposite was very loud on the Saturday night!
Room was a nice size and the toiletries of good quality. There were empty beer bottles on the floor outside our room when we arrived and they were till there overnight. The tap in the bathroom sink was poorly located in that tfor the ewater to fall into the sink, the tap had to be turned on full.
Was not keen on the coffee in the breakfast room and the toaster took a very long time resulting in a queue for toast. Otherwise the breakfast was great.
Lovely staff really helpful. Clean room.
Paper thin walks could here everything going on in the next rooms, didn't know about paying £6 to park. I'd requested extra pillows but they hadn't seen this request so I had to ask for them which they did promptly but seemed pointless putting it as a request prior
