Latest 5 reviews of Portland - a Grange Hotel
Great hotel, fantastic location, excellent staff
The rooms were quite large for Europe. We had great weather, so the lack of a/c was hardly a problem, the fans were sufficient for us, as we were on the 2nd floor. The first night we were in the basement next to the trash, until we asked to be moved. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and would print out directions for us every night. The mini kitchen was also great. There's a market down the block so we could store some food and microwave it, so we wouldn't always have to eat out.
Good and Bad!
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 facilties but the fridge did not work. We had breafkfast in the adjoining hotel and it was fine. The down side of our experience was the heat and the noise. The weather was lovely but the room was unbearably warm. The hotel fan was useless and did not make any difference to the room - it was very uncomfortable at night. This was made worse by the terribly noisy street. We were in a room at the front of the hotel and the traffic was terribly noisy, so we tried to open windows for air, but had too close them , because of the noise. Not a good experience. If I was staying in the hotel again, I would ensure I asked for a room at the back and I would only stay in cool weather.
A real gem of a find
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 of breakfast so if you chose to you can make your own. If you venture round the corner though there is a place to get a buffet cooked breakfast for around £6.
The location is excellent - close enough to walk to the theatres, etc. Tube stations are close by as are shops and bars, etc.
The staff were very welcoming and a nice touch was the free newspapers and magazines in the rooms.
Highly recommend this hotel.
Neat, tidy and central.
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, welcoming and homely and situated in a quiet and leafy area close to all amenities. We parked our car in the overnight underground car park literally seconds away at a cost of £25 for 24 hours. Breakfast was to be served at the hotel next door, but we decided to visit a cafe called Onions Sandwich Bar just around the corner as did not relish paying £15 pp for breakfast.
We took a taxi into town in the evening to see a show at a cost of £20, but caught a bus the next day to travel to the London Eye and surrounding sites, but as long as you wear comfortable shoes, everything is within walking distance, the closest being Convent Garden.
All in all, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a well positioned spot in which to explore London.
Bargain stay
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 in our room.
A large room with a queen sized bed which was very comfy. TV with cable provided as was a fridge and microwave. A kettle with tea and coffee were also most welcome! The bathroom was large with a lovely power shower, ideal for unwinding after trudging around London.
Can't comment on breakfast as we didn't eat it, but from what the receptionist said it meant a short walk to one of the adjoining hotels as there are no kitchen facilities here.
Overall a lovely stay, however we did stay on a sunday evening and had a really good deal. I'm not sure I'd pay the full rate for this hotel bearing in mind the smaller hotels in the vicinity.
