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!

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.

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.

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!

Overall, this is the hotel for you if you want to live in cute quaint house in Notting Hill, and not in a soulless high rise hotel. The aesthetics are definitely the draw card here. If this isn't your main concern, then there are other better options. See my list of pros and cons: Pros: *The room is very cute. Feels like living in a period drama. High ceilings with big windows for views and lots of natural lighting. *Service was good and proactive. *The street the hotel is on is like a cul de sac. It is very cute. The hotel makes you feel like you actually live in London rather than simply in a hotel. The street felt safe and quiet. * Large closest for putting away clothes. * The bed was really large. Cons * Location was okay but not as convenient as other places I've stayed at. Notting Hill station is a 10 min walk from the hotel and supermarket and pharmacy is also about a 10 minute walk. *Shower was way too small, even as a petite female. I had to dry myself in the bedroom as no space. * The property is old and so you would often hear doors closing and people talking through the walls, which would disturb sleep * Although there is someone manning the desk near the front door at all times, there is no pin or lock or security to open the front door and so strangers could just enter the hotel. No security in the hotel as far as I am aware other than the concierge person *The bed mattress was too soft and my entire body sank into the bed, which caused some muscle aches.
