Elegant small hotel in Notting Hill
This is a lovely, quiet, friendly, and small hotel. It's about a 10 minute walk from Notting Hill tube on a quiet street. It's also close to Portobello Market.

Lovely quiet neighborhood, great staff. Shower in our room was SUPER tiny and difficult to manuever in, but otherwise was very nice. Also no shampoo or conditioner available

Great location lovely rooms, small bed & very hot!
Lovely hotel, great staff and location. However the room was boiling when we arrived, the coffee machine wasn’t working properly, the lamps around the room weren’t working (aside from the bedside ones) and the bed was so small we were pretty uncomfortable all night. No top sheet so had to sleep with a comfortable but far too hot duvet, even with the window open and the aircon on cool! Aircon wouldn’t go below 19°. Bath was gorgeous and the shower pressure great, decor lovely - just a pretty uncomfortable nights sleep!

This property is in a beautiful neighborhood of London., Notting Hill. A short walk to the Tube, several great local restaurants to note. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room was small and the bathroom smaller. Soft bed with quality linens and pillows. Very well appointed and very clean. We would stay here again.

Most of the staff were very kind and accommodating. Especially housekeeping and those who are serving breakfast. Breakfast itself was very good. Bed and pillow were very comfortable. It would’ve been nice to have some acknowledgment of our Anniversary which we have noted on the reservation.

This was a quirky nice hotel in a beautiful area of London. The garden facing room we stayed in for 9 nights was perfect. There was plenty of room for our belongings. The room was quiet and the bed was very comfortable. We had an enormous bathroom with a separate shower and separate tub . The staff was very friendly and helpful especially Evelyn. We will definitely return on our next trip to London

Our room at The Portobello Hotel was huge and richly decorated...we loved spending time in it ,which is unusual for hotel rooms. Breakfast was delightful. Staff was very accommodating including keeping our bag as we went off to Egypt. Hotel is walking distance to Portobello market and lots of great restaurants and Holland Park!
