"An attractive Victorian townhouse in an elegant terrace."
Frommer's
"The quintessential Portobello Hotel tale is the night that Kate Moss and Johnny Depp allegedly took a champagne bath here. It sums up the hotel -- glamorous, bubbly, and expensive."

Since windows are not double-glazed, request a room in the quiet rear.

"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."

Time Out
"It remains a pleasingly unpretentious place, with a more civilised demeanour than its legend might suggest."

"A 13-bedroom Georgian townhouse hotel in Clerkenwell, with a cool cocktail lounge. Rooms range in size from “crash pad” to a large suite. Contemporary style and comfort."
Gayot
"Long-awaited from the owners of The Zetter Hotel, this quirky old house in leafy Clerkenwell is just over the road from the mother ship and exceeds all expectations."
Afar Magazine
"In many ways, the Zetter Townhouse is the quintessential British hotel: quiet and unobtrusive from the outside, playful and witty within."
