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."

The well-lit hallways are long, and some guest rooms are quite a hike from the common areas (request rooms near elevators).
