Close your tube station.
Bathroom needs some modernisation and not as clean as I would have liked. Staff really nice and close to tube station and right off Portobello Road.

Never again!
For a 2.9 rated hotel I didn't expect much. Room was too cramped for 3 people with 3 large suitcase and carry on. Pillows were flat. Toilet seat was broken. For the price I paid I expected more. I wish management would improve the facility and accommodation instead of pocketing all the profits! We specifically told the front desk that we wanted privacy but they still had our room cleaned. We were missing a box of chocolates but nothing else was missing. Front desk was polite and hotel provided blow dryer and converter. The place was just HORRIBLE.

Dirty and old
I stayed here because I love Notting Hill. I will definately never stay here again. The hotel is in serious need of a remodel and proper cleaning. One of the two glasses in the bathroom was obviously not clean (looked to have toothpaste smeared in the bottom) there were 2 bath towels, and no hand towels or wash cloths. I woke up to a bad smell and found a really old bottle 1/4 with orange juice in it about to explode, between the bed and the wall. There is a fire door from the hallway and the room doors slam closed everytime someone comes and goes. It is really loud inside the room that it will definately wake you up if you are not a deep sleeper. The walls are so thin that I could hear every word of the show that was on on the room next to me until I finally fell asleep at 2 am. You have to leave your room key at the front desk every time you leave, which is really weird.

Falling apart, like a camping site
Really you get what you pay for! I usually don't have high expectations, I just need a bed and a bathroom. In this case they were unacceptable! The double bed had one side with basically springs hitting your back, the other side was OK but for this reason the bed was not flat, almost inclined, terrible! The bathroom was a joke, the small sink with two faucets, very old (not luxury stuff) with cold and hot. The shower was a tube from the wall, literally, on a small platform with a curtain. With low pressure. This tell you how the property is maintained, just with my 3 days stay alone they could buy a very good mattress , but they prefer to have many customers have a bad sleeping, complaining and not going there anymore. They don't care. All other aspects of their business are handled in a similar way.

Wifi could have made all the difference
If you're into Boutique style, it's for you. It's cute! And old! Expect it to look that way. But in 2017, guests should not have to either pay for wifi or be subjected to limitations. 24 hours (to the minute) of wifi with 30MB of data or pay! How much is that? Never enough. And it's very, very spotty, making it very frustrating trying to check in to flights etc. almost impossible at times. I think the days are long gone where wifi is a specialty or add on. Having to go down the street to Starbucks for a strong signal made me give this hotel a poor rating. Otherwise, location and staff are great!

Very basic hotel
If you are going to be out the whole day and have a place to sleep at night. This is it, however, the mattress is very worn and it is like sleeping on spring.

Definitely more like a hostel than a hotel
Staff very friendly and welcoming but thwe hotel is pretty bad. The room smelt so bad. The beds & mattresses were really old and falling to bits and very very uncomfortable however the sheets appeared very new and clean. The window had fell off so was open the whole time. The barroom was very small and again old & very "hostel" like with bare metal piping i wouldn't stay again & wouldn't recommend. We paid £90 to stay but would suggest a price of around £40

tired owners.
it was all a bit of a bother to help me with any request. owner couple arguing with each other; actually fighting verbally at each occasion i saw them. any query or request was too hard. very disappointing. unfortunate to have to use your room as an escape from the rest of the establishment. They really need to retire and hand over the reins. won't be coming back.

Not what I'd expected !!! Sadly disappointing.....
Not what I'd expected !! More like a youth hostel than a hotel. Very (and I mean very) basic !! Not to my standards for a 'hotel'. Pokey - basic - old - run down Only stay if you need a room for a night - just somewhere to lay your head !! Not good for anything more. Shouldn't be listed as a hotel

Hotel and staff are very nice. The single room was basic and clean but the bathroom was tight. The view over the private park made up it though.

Albergo non confortevole
Io e la mia amica abbiamo trovato la camera dell hotel molto sporca, soprattutto il bagno in quanto mto piccolo e con capelli non nostri per terra. Muri della doccia sporchi e nessun tappetino ne ganvi per asciugamani. Le pulizie giornaliere non venivano effettuate visto che una sera ci siamo ritrovate il letto ancora disfatto con la coperta per terra e gli asciugamani puliti buttati cosi sul letto. Lo staff molto scortese e incompetente. Nessuna spiegazione da parte loro e non parlavano altre lingue oltre l inglese. Dopo una prima reclamazione le cose sono sllo peggiorate invece che migliorate.

Il nostro personale ha cercato di assisterti durante ogni giorno in cui sei stato da noi, ma ogni tentativo di contattarti ha detto ai membri del personale, compresi gli addetti alla reception e al custode di uscire dalla tua stanza con gesti delle mani. Abbiamo cercato di spiegare la manutenzione della nostra camera come segue: 1) Le camere vengono pulite ogni giorno e offriamo ulteriori servizi di pulizia come richiesto dall'ospite. 2) Gli asciugamani lasciati sul pavimento della stanza vengono puliti e gli asciugamani vengono forniti ogni giorno in cambio. Gli asciugamani lasciati pendenti vengono lasciati conformi al nostro impegno per un futuro a basse emissioni di carbonio. Offriamo agli ospiti tanti asciugamani extra da utilizzare come richiesto. 3) I custodi della casa non sono autorizzati a toccare e spostare le cose degli ospiti nella stanza. Hai lasciato i tuoi vestiti e valigie e borse dappertutto, quindi i nostri addetti alle pulizie non sono stati in grado di spostare i tuoi articoli, per motivi di sicurezza degli ospiti e della privacy. Ciò ha reso impossibile rendere i tuoi letti senza spostare i tuoi oggetti privati. Tuttavia, quando il custode è tornato nella tua stanza per offrirti di fare i letti con la vista dei tuoi oggetti personali, hai chiesto al custode di andarsene. Sfortunatamente, il nostro staff non parla italiano, ma possiamo usare google voice translate o chiedere aiuto da un oratore italiano a Expedia.com, tuttavia, non volevi cooperare con il nostro staff in alcun modo durante il vostro soggiorno non era altro che potessimo fare.

Nice affordable Room
The Hotel is nice, clean, partly renovated. The bed is fine and nothing to complain about. You get what you pay for and ofcourse you cannot expect luxury for such a price. It is noisy if you are having a room to the street. Fully recommenable if you are out all day and just need a place to sleep.

Värt pengarna, superläge
Superbra läge i underbara notting hill, nära till tunnelbana och bussar. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Inte det roligaste hotellrummet då det enda som fick plats var säng, men absolut värt pengarna om man bara vill ha hotellrummet att sova i och inte hänga där under dagarna. Kan absolut tänka mig att bo på samma hotell igen!

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal
Wir haben uns im Hotel wohl gefühlt. Hervorragend ist die Lage nur 2,5 Minuten von der Untergrundbahn Notting Hill entfernt. Die Innenstadt ist schnell erreichbar, die Portobello Road ebenfalls. Die Gegend ist sehr angenehm mit einem schönenPark gegenüber. Die Angestellten haben in allen Bereichen geholfen, wir fühlten uns gut aufgehoben. Das Hotel selber könnte ein paar Renovierungen vertragen, wenn man keine so hohen Ansprüche stellt aber o.k.

Hotell med grei beliggenhet, nær undergrunn!
Hotellet var sv svært dårlig standard! Ser ut til å ikke ha blitt pusset opp i det siste 50-årene! Lite rom og bad, og skittent! Vegg til vegg teppe, usj.. Dårlig renhold, var på hotellet i fem døgn, det ble ikke vasket eller skiftet på senger. Fikk kun nye håndklær.
Dette bildet er tatt i fellesarealet. Der det er vannkoker til gjestene.. ikke så veldig innbydende! Med et skittent strykebrett bak, samt en haug med blå sekker som inneholdt skitne håndduker! Nei fy, her vil ikke jeg drikke TE!!!!

Die Lage ist toll, sonst leider nicht viel
Das Hotel ist klasse und recht ruhig gelegen. Die U-Bahnhaltestelle Notting Hill Gate ist 5 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt, von der aus man mit drei verschiedenen U-Bahnlinien (Circle Line, District Line und Central Line) wunderbar London erkunden kann. Zu Fuß ist man in 10 Minuten auf der Protobello Road mit ihren bunten Häuschen und netten Geschäften und Cafés. Direkt um die Ecke gibt es einige Pubs, einen Tesco und viele Gelegenheiten um sich zum Frühstück oder Abendessen zu versorgen. Ein kleines, sehr uriges Kino ist nur wenige Minuten entfernt. Kurzum: Besser könnte das Hotel nicht liegen. ABER: Das durchaus nette Personal am Empfang scheint mit der Arbeit häufig völlig überfordert. Zimmer werden doppelt vergeben, Absprachen zwischen den einzelnen Mitarbeitern erfolgen wohl auch nicht. Das Hotel ist "aus Sicherheitsgründen" immer komplett verschlossen. Schade nur, wenn dann der Empfang nicht besetzt ist und man trotz Klingelns einfach nicht hereingelassen wird. Das Badezimmer war eine Katastrophe- dreckig und renovierungsbedürftig. Die Zimmer sind so hellhörig, dass man den Nachbarn nicht nur duschen hören kann, sondern auch mitbekommt, wenn er oder sie sich im Bett umdreht. Da ist es mit dem Schlafen manchmal nicht so einfach. 12 Stunden WLAN werden vom Hotel "geschenkt", alles darüber muss man per Kreditkarte online kaufen. Allerdings ist das WLAN so schlecht, dass es keinen Unterschied machen würde, wenn man überhaupt keines hätte. Alles wirklich sehr schade!
