Had an amazing stay in Room 16 at Portobello Hotel, full of historic and cultural charm—thank you for the attentive serv
Pros:

I had an amazing stay in Room 16 at Portobello Hotel, perfectly situated on Portobello Road—ideal for exploring Notting Hill and all its charm! The room was immaculately clean, beautifully styled and so cozy, with every little detail taken care of to make the stay truly comfortable. A huge thank you to the incredible staff for their exceptional service: they graciously allowed me to store my luggage at the hotel, even though I wasn’t checking in for the following day. This thoughtful, flexible gesture made my travel plans so much smoother and stress-free, and it really made my trip to London that much better. The team were warm, friendly and always happy to assist with local tips too. I highly recommend Portobello Hotel and will absolutely return on my next visit to the city! Grateful for such a lovely experience 😊

Hidden gem
Pros:

We booked the hotel after reading about it in a blog about the best boutique hotels in London. Location is fantastic for access to Portobello Road market and the Notting Hill neighbourhood.

Good room was quite small - ideal for one person or a couple who is okay in tight quarters. Marvellous room was outstanding.

The Honour Bar in the main sitting room adds a lovely touch to the feel of the hotel.

Tolle Lage und besondere Atmosphäre
Pros:

Das Hotel ist außergewöhnlich.
Die Lage zu Notting Hill mit seinen kleinen Geschäften, Restaurants und dem Markt ist absolut perfekt. Auch zur Subway ist es nicht weit.
Die Ausstattung ist besonders - viele Farben und unterschiedliche Muster, alte Möbel - typisch englisch. Eine schöne Atmosphäre.
Im Zimmer gibt es einen Kaffeeautomaten und eine super bestückte Minibar und kleine Snacks. Freies WLan. Das Personal war super freundlich.

Cons:

Ich hatte ein kleines Doppelzimmer. Leider gab es hier keinen Schrank oder ein Regal für die Kleidung.

Pros:

The warm hospitality.
The friendly and efficient staff.
Sam ing location.
Great decor.

Cons:

I would have preferred to be able to select my room.
I was told I couldn’t guarantee a particular room or one either a bath despite booking well in advance. I found that a silly rule and it made me feel anxious in the lead up to the stay….which could easily have been avoided.
Found the step in my bathroom a bit dangerous and the saloon style doors to bathroom to be annoying!
So very nice xxx
