Michelin Guide
"An attractive Victorian townhouse in an elegant terrace."
Frommer's
"The quintessential Portobello Hotel tale is the night that Kate Moss and Johnny Depp allegedly took a champagne bath here. It sums up the hotel -- glamorous, bubbly, and expensive." Full review

Since windows are not double-glazed, request a room in the quiet rear.

"The very definition of shabby chic, the decor is half high-Victorian, half colonial, with claw-foot tubs and a great deal of red velvet."
Fodor's
"One of London's quirkiest hotels, the little Portobello... is seriously hip, attracting scores of celebrities to its small but stylish rooms that are decorated with joyous abandon." Full review

Michelin Guide

Frommer's
"In North Soho, a short walk from the heartbeat of Soho Square, this town house has been luxuriously converted into a high-end hotel that is London chic at its finest." Full review
Fodor's
"Modern flair and the traditional are fused together in this super-stylish Soho retreat, beautifully decorated with unique printed fabrics from designer Kit Kemp." Full review
Time Out
"Now a fine exponent of Kit Kemp’s much imitated fusion of flowery English and avant-garde, this gorgeous hotel was once a dental hospital." Full review

On Sundays, combine a three-course set meal with a classic film screened in the mini-cinema.
DK Eyewitness
"The ground floor bar is always buzzing with local workers as well as guests in this exquisitely designed hotel in a street full of restaurants."
Star Service
"Things are casual, including the lobby with its oak floor and leather chairs. Arrivals enter through this sparsely furnished reception room that is more modern-art gallery than lobby." Full review
Gayot
"Rooms feature soft pastels, snug duvets and pretty drapes, and all come well-equipped with the latest technology."
Travel + Leisure

Zagat
"A Bloomsbury Group theme runs throughout this high-end boutique hotel set in a townhouse a block from Soho Square."
