We took over the whole hotel in November 2011 for a wedding; a mixture of friends and family. Overall, the experience was overwhelmingly positive. The roof terrace offered excellent views across London on Bonfire Weekend with all the fireworks. It is set right in the heart of the Portobello Market, surrounded by pretty shops, market stalls and musicians. My review... More

We had booked for the one evening of July 1st and were really excited by the description on their website. The reality was a very different senario - ALL accommodation was advertised as having a shower facility and the maisonette was described as a dining experience not to be missed! At £180 for the night it was a rip-off! We... More

On the last night the rest of the party arrived, a mixed age group hen party [age 24 -60] of ten people. The location was perfect... More

good location ,some rooms extremly small suitable only for 1.bridal suite comfortable but noisy on the morning of barrel moving. breakfast fine ,location good once you agile.would def stay again as rates reasonable.

I have been to the Gold once before, but on this trip I noticed new paint and carpet in the room. The maid service is efficient and excellent. Yes, some of the rooms are small, but their website is very clear about no "cat-swinging." The restaurant, located just behind the lively pub, may just be the best part of the... More
