The Portico Hotel

Near Victoria Station, just past a fragrant enclosed (private) park, Portico Hotel is in a well-maintained white townhouse in an attractive row of similar historic buildings on St. George’s Lane. Desk service is excellent, room was comfortable and restful and quiet when nearby guests were out. Large TV and very nice bed, excellent state-of-the-art plumbing. Continental breakfast downstairs was meticulously presented.

Extremely helpful receptionist, especially when it came to storing my "special" food in their fridge and freezer, and letting us leave bags all day on our check-out day so we could trawl around London empty-handed. Above and beyond. Decor is in good condition for its age, and the extra "public" corridor toilet has an edge of gold-trimmed luxury that was most unexpected, worthy of talking photos!

The hotel is in a great location, just ten minutes walk from Victoria station. It’s nicely decorated and the beds are very comfortable and it was very clean. There were plenty of tea and coffee making supplies on hand and nice toiletries in the bathroom.

What a great hotel. The hotel and room was spotlessly clean and comfortable with professional and happy staff. We were upgraded to a deluxe three bedroom room as we were late arriving for a theatre show and rushing. The reception had a 24hr bar with a small seating area and room service. We asked the prices of the drinks which were exceptionally reasonable. There was also a toilet in the reception area. Their luggage storage was spacious and kept safe in a room guests could not access. The hotel was a less than 10min walk to Victoria Train and Underground and closer to Victoria Coach Station. The area was quiet with little traffic and no bars or shops.

Compared to many hotels in London in a similar price range, the hotel was clean, well-maintained and the room fittings were up-to-date and fully functional. The shower in particular was excellent considering I was on the top floor.
