The Portobello Hotel

I love the Notting Hill neighborhood. This trip I tried the Portobello Hotel as both of my usual hotels were booked. When the cab pulled up out front I knew I would love it. It's off Portobello Road by a couple streets so feels like a neighborhood and is much quieter away from the throngs of tourists. There was a cheerful, helpful presence at the desk by the front door at all hours of the day and night. I chose one of the smallest rooms, perfect for me as a solo traveler. It might prove quite tight for a couple. The shower is small and opens into the room. The W/C and sink are in a separate very small room. Blackout shades, a very comfy bed, and blissful quiet helped me easily sleep through the night. Quirky, fun decor included antiques and kitschy details. The minibar is ensconced in an old suitcase. Refrigerator, cups, glasses, water bottles, coffee maker provided everything I needed. Housekeeping and cleanliness were excellent. I loved being close to my favorite restaurants and shops. I went with room only as I like going out for breakfast, so cannot speak to breakfast at the hotel. I am already planning a return visit here in the fall.

A true gem in a wonderful location, the rooms have a super neat style and the hotel has a great vibe! The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Our room was nice, beds were comfortable and sheets were soft. We had a few small issues like rust on one of the shower heads and the WiFi not working for most of our trip. Would recommend this hotel.

Lovely stay! Great location. Beautiful room. Nice and clean. Good size room. Very accommodating staff, allowed us to check in early.

Very charming townhouse with cosy lobby and gorgeous views onto the communal garden. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are a little tired but it adds to the charm. Very comfortable beds and nice bedlinen. A true gem in Notting Hill.

I love this hotel! The location is great, the staff is top notch, the rooms are comfortable and clean, and the view of the garden is wonderful. What a great sight to wake up to. The breakfast and in-snacks are exactly what I like. I travel for business, and it's so nice to call this hotel my home base - wifi is excellent, and the staff is more than willing to assist with a request.

Great room, great location and Amrim on the front desk was amazing. The bed was super comfortable and the bath with the view of the garden was superb. The honesty bar could do with a few improvements but that is a very very small gripe in an otherwise great stay.
