Lonely Planet Top Choice
"The 30 guestrooms have been furnished with original antiques from the Georgian era and boast a wealth of seductive details." 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

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."

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 "It remains a pleasingly unpretentious place, with a more civilised demeanour than its legend might suggest." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This long-running, popular hotel combines Victorian coziness with sumptous extravagance in its individually decorated bedrooms."
Gayot "Two elegant, six-story Victorian terrace houses have melded together into an eclectic hotel that serves as a magnet for visiting rock and movie stars."
Travel + Leisure "This Neoclassical mansion hotel may feel more like a posh home than a hotel, but its hassle-free ambience draws an eclectic smattering of musicians, models, poets, writers, and actors." Full review
Zagat "This hip Notting Hill boutique hotel has a reputation as a celebrity hideaway, and its individually designed rooms are suitably dramatic."
Lonely Planet "This splendidly located, 21-room property has been a firm favourite with rock and rollers and movie stars down the decades." Full review
