Top Hemel Hempstead Hotel Reviews

Nobu London Portman Square

Nobu London Portman Square

10/10 Excellent
"booked 2 rooms at Nobu Portman Square, primarily for the location. And on location it delivers in trumps. Easy walkability to shops and restaurants with delightful Marylebone at your front door. The rooms are so comfortable and immaculate. If you stay more than 3 days I’d opt for larger than a standard room. The beds and pillows are perfection. The rooms are modern and crisp. Breakfast was included and it is fine just for a start to the day. Not a treat but practical. Staff are on-the-ball and enthusiastic. This adds a lovely level of hospitality. I will definitely return to this hotel on my next trip to London."
