Great location; really quite, and few steps from a really busy area. decoration is breathtaking.

Emran Saudi Arabia

The hotel staff reached out before we arrived ensuring everything we needed was handled. When we checked in we were met with a hot wet hand towel to wipe the grim from travelling off and warm drink. The staff were great. The bed was the comfiest bed we had slept on during 40 days in Europe. The room was well laid out. The bathroom products smelled wonderful (and cleaned too!). Hot chocolate in our room in the evening was a nice touch. The location is amazing.

beautiful hotel, spacious rooms with great bathrooms and sitting areas

Sonja United States of America

The perfect boutique hotel. From the gracious welcome by GM Christine to the jaw-dropping first glance in our room to the uber COVID-sensitive presentation of a delicious breakfast...well, let’s just say that it is impossible to not pull out the thesaurus for every complimentary word we can find. The room was sensational - a deep soak in an antique tub followed by the best night’s sleep we’ve had in ages. Location cannot be beat for easy access to the delights fo Portobello Road and surrounds. Highly, highly recommend.

A great small hotel tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city life yet walking distance from the heart of a vibrant social center. Comfortable and tasteful. Will be booking here again before too long.

Mark United Kingdom

Location, staff and decor. Really beautiful room with view over nice street.

Giannimouse United Kingdom

Excellent location, quiet but close to the hustle and bustle of portobello road markets…

James United Kingdom

I must admit that my expectations had not been particularly high - but after my stay I became a convert! A comfortable and tastefully decorated bedroom, civilised bathroom and the convenience of having the attached pub (to the front of the building) for meals. The staff were friendly and professional.
