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.
Concierge "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

Time Out "Four Georgian townhouses comprise this absolutely charming place, named after William Hazlitt, the spirited 18th-century essayist who died here in abject poverty." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Hazlitt’s is as close to time travel as you can get: its period rooms feature fireplaces, antique beds, and claw-footed baths."
Gayot "Creaky stairs lead past walls jammed with period paintings and antiques, up to old-fashioned, charming rooms fitted with all sorts of nifty gimmicks."
Travel + Leisure "This stylish, 30-room hotel is located in London’s Soho district, in the heart of Theatreland, and just a short distance from Oxford Street, Covent Garden, and the world-class shopping on Bond Street." Full review
Zagat "Occupying a row of Georgian townhouses in Soho, this luxury boutique hotel recalls the private home of an 18th-century aristocrat – a mix of antiques, wood panelling and original fireplaces."
