"A row of charmingly restored 18C houses. Wood panelling, stone-flagged flooring, open fires and antique furniture."

"An attractive Victorian townhouse in an elegant terrace."

"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."
