Fodor's Review:

One of London's most famous hotels, the little Portobello (formed from two adjoining Victorian houses) is seriously hip and attracts scores of celebrities. It's a quirky place, decorated with utter abandon. In your (small but stylish) room, you're likely to find an assortment of antiques, luxurious fabrics, statues, and bizarre bric-a-brac. Some rooms have balconies and claw-foot bathtubs. Room 16 has an extraordinary Victorian "bathing machine" that actor Johnny Depp is said to have once filled with champagne for Kate Moss, a former flame. Pros: stylish; great for celebrity-spotting; good location. Cons: most rooms are quite small; may be too eccentric for some.
