For Gin lovers...
The geographic situation is perfect in the center of Portobello market. The view from the room makes you feel a part of it. The room itself was cosy with a sixties feeling and the bed was comfortable. There was even a basket with citruses and the ingredients to add to a glass of Gin if you so wished...On the downside, the corridor and stairs to get there were very dark and could do with a sorrow clean and brightening up...

Great find
Cute boutique hotel in a great area. We were here for two nights during the week, and it was quiet and charming. They provided a few free cocktails from their distillery downstairs. The staff were excellent, and the room was clean and tidy. There is great dining, shopping, and transportation options nearby. I would recommend this place and stay here again.

The room was amazing - great decor, comfy bed, effective blackout curtains - just what we needed for a great night’s sleep. Unfortunately the morning after was not so great - no hot water in the shower, milk in the mini fridge was off and coffee press squirted everywhere when plunged! Such a shame as, prior to that, we loved it.

Lovely staff. Excellent location. There are steep stairs, and it's in an old building above a bar, so yes it's loud. I packed ear plugs and they did the trick. Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent stay, locations great and bar was brilliant. Room size as expected but most definitely the bed was not a suitable size. Staff were brilliant and would visit again, just a different bed size requested. Late night drinking was a lot of fun and great selection of drinks

What a gem
Such a fun spot! The location is perfect, and the small touches made it feel so special. I'm not a big drinker, but love the setup for a G&T on a warm day, and the record player was great! Room was small but had all the comforts, and I loved the bathroom design! Would absolutely stay again if I am in the area.

Definitely not my favorite boutique size hotel I’ve stayed in. Price was one of the best I found in the area, but you get what you pay for. Walls are thin and can hear people walking around on creaky floors. Hallways smell like an old bar, because you’re basically staying above an old bar. No separate entrance for hotel guests so returning in the evenings the bouncer for the bar would question us. Very little interaction with the “concierge” who seemed annoyed and busy when trying to check in. The hotel check in is a tiny desk right off the street by the bar entrance so not very welcoming at all. All rooms are walk ups so if you have heavy bags be prepared to carry them up a few flights. The room itself was okay, a little dirty looking, and cramped. Best thing about the room was the shower which was hot, good water pressure, nice size and luxurious toiletries. Location is nice for exploring Notting Hill and Portobello Road Market and shops, but not super convenient to other areas unless you are comfortable navigating the bus lines. Notting Hill Gate underground was about a 10-15 minute walk away, not too bad. There’s one closer station but didn’t use it as much for the places we wanted to go. Overall I’d probably not stay again unless everything else nearby was extremely out of price range.

Lovely Room
Enjoyed the location and atmosphere of this small hotel. With only three rooms available, I was concerned about customer service not being a top priority of the restaurant staff, but we were pleasantly surprised with their attentiveness. Room was small and there were quite a few stairs to climb to get there but we knew all this ahead of time and were prepared. Lovely room and quiet for our stay. Of course it was winter and we didn’t need the window open for cool air so we didn’t hear any of the street noise. Loved the location right on Portabello Road which made it great for shopping!

No door handle !!
Nice area to stay in. However the room was small and the double bed was small. The sink was the smallest I've ever seen and couldn't be used without getting water everywhere . There was no door handle on the outside - just polyfiller.So it didn't always swing shut !!! and when taken to the room this wasn't even pointed out !!
