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

Rough Guide "A fixture on Clerkenwell’s laidback hipster scene. Rooms are simple but bold, with colourful panache and lots of eco touches."
Michelin Guide "A trendy and discreet converted 19C warehouse with well-equipped bedrooms that come with pleasant touches, such as Penguin paperbacks."
Frommer's "It was only a matter of time before a hotel blended the edgy Shoreditch scene with the creature comforts demanded by City types." Full review

Ask for a room at the rear of the hotel -- they back onto a quiet square.
Concierge "Almost best of all, the rates are (for London) way low."
Fodor's "The dizzying five-story atrium, Art Deco staircase, and slick European restaurant hint at the delights to come in this converted warehouse." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Zetter comprises two quite different properties, both exemplary in their execution." Full review
Time Out "Zetter is a fun, laid-back, modern hotel with some interesting design notes." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In an area known for its loft apartments, this is a loft hotel in a 19th-century warehouse."
Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"This Victorian warehouse turned 59-room hotel on London’s heavily trafficked Clerkenwell Road is missing nary a detail of what constitutes a cutting-edge big-city boutique hotel." Full review
Gayot "This Clerkenwell lodging goes for ultrahip with its Champagne-and-camera-stocked vending machine, hot water bottles, second hand books and Scandinavian/industrial style."
