We stayed at the lost poet in the ‘muse’ room.The facilities and decor were fantastic, the roof top bar was wonderful, the staff were polite and helpful and the location was brilliant. A half hour walk to the Royal Albert Hall and a stone’s throw from the hustle and bustle of the markets on portobello road.Was very difficult to check out 😢

The Lost Poet is a treasure. It is as charming inside as it is outside. The location is unbeatable in Notting Hill, steps from the Portobello Road Market. The staff were friendly and helpful. …

I stumbled upon this place through Mr and Mrs Smith.. and I am so glad I took the plunge and made a reservation. I usually go for the larger chain hotels, but for some reason (looking at you Taylor Swift!) hotels were unreasonably and unusually expensive in London for the time I was looking at.So I made a reservation here.. I am so glad I did! What an absolute gem of a hotel. Small, but well appointed, beautifully clean and quirky design.Easy check in.. friendly front of house staff. Felt homely, but also private.I had the best night sleep I have had in weeks. It is in such a great location on Portobello Road so could easily wander to get coffee in the morning before my flight.I will absolutely be back.. what an absolute treat of a stay!!
