The well-lit hallways are long, and some guest rooms are quite a hike from the common areas (request rooms near elevators).
Gayot "This imposing hotel plays host to corporate guests and many in the legal profession, due to its proximity to the law courts around the corner."
Condé Nast Traveler "The 306 rooms have that same sense of grandeur, with silky faux-fur throws on the beds and cut-glass flasks of complimentary whiskey in the suites." Full review

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
