My stay at The Portobello Hotel was good overall. The charming decor and cozy ambiance made me feel at home, yet there were some drawbacks, like the cramped space in my fourth-floor room. The attentive staff and lovely neighborhood made up for it, and I particularly enjoyed the comfortable bed and good breakfast options. 🌟

I had a lovely two-night stay at The Portobello Hotel in vibrant Notting Hill, which was just a short walk from public transportation. While my initial room wasn't ready upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a charming room overlooking Stanley Gardens. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making my sleep quite restful. On the downside, I noticed the decor was a bit worn in some areas, particularly the carpet and furniture, which could use refreshing.

My stay at The Portobello Hotel was a mixed bag. I loved the charming decor and the excellent location, being so close to the vibrant streets of Notting Hill, but the room left much to be desired. The tiny bathroom and the less-than-impressive room service were disappointing. Overall, I appreciated the cozy and homely feel, yet I felt the value for money was lacking.
