Just returned from a stay in the Portland Hotel and really have mixed feelings about the experience. The hotel is in a really central position and we were able to walk to all the main sights. The actual room was big and clean - there were 3 of us sharing and it was fine. There were tea and coffee making... more

Visited this hotel with family and had 3 rooms, all of which were well above average size of the usual London city hotel room. One of them also had room for a settee. All rooms have a sink and microwave along with the usual drink making facilities. This is useful as the only downside of the hotel is the price... more

We have just returned from a visit to London and stayed at The Portland for one night. We stayed in the Deluxe Suite (£218 inc VAT) as we are a family of four, and the room was extremely spacious and adequate with a King size bed and a sofa bed. The decoration is nothing special, but the hotel is clean,... more

A lovely hotel in Central London, ten minutes walk from Covent Garden with a number of tube stops around the corner. It's a lovely old London townhouse converted into a hotel - a large reception area with sofa's and newspapers. When we arrived there was a lovely relaxed feel to the place. Check in was quick, within minutes we were... more

On the positive side, the hotel is in a fantastic location for central london and in a nice quiet street. Had a lovely breakfast sat outside the Italian Cafe in Russell Square Park which is 100 yards down the road (wasn't paying £15 for a continental breakfast at the hotel). The rooms are spacious, fairly traditional and well maintained. On... more

Location in London is everything. This place is ideal!! about 100 metres from the british museum and less than 5 minutes to a tube station. less than ten minutes to oxford street. 15 minute walk to covent garden..etc... you've got the picture. It's in a place that doesn't feel too busy/ but you are very close to everything. It's a... more

This hotel may be the worst value for money I have ever experienced. It is part of the Bloomsbury collection adjacent to Russell Square. For one night in July, 2008, I paid 165 pounds -- which is something like $320 -- for an extremely small room without air conditioning, without breakfast and with broken internet access. The hotel and its... more

Just spent three nights at the Portland booked through www.show-and-stay.co.uk as a theatre/rail/hotel break. Couldn't fault the whole deal. The Portland is a lovely hotel, clean, large bedroom and bathroom. Also has kitchen with fridge, microwave and sink. Had to go next door to the Clarendon for breakfast but this was not a problem. Great continental breakfast too! Staff were... more

We stayed at the Portland for 3 days. This was the second Grange hotel we had stayed at. The first being the Beauchamp next door. The Portland is a small hotel which has been recently refurbished. We were given a very big room considered that standard doubles in London are quite small. We had a kitchenette and a bathroom fitted... more
