Where to Sleep in Notting Hill
Self-styled boho hipsters, trustafarians, Portobello Road tourists of the world, and fannypack fans of the eponymous movie make Notting Hill a sought-after London destination. This trendster ghetto is a pretty fun place to hang out, with more than enough shopping, restaurants, cafes, and the like to keep you more than amused. If you need a place to sleep, check out this list of Notting Hill digs under £150 a night, including a casually chic b&b in a Victorian mansion, an eccentric 18th-century guest house whose rooms are named after the romantic poets, and a budget address smack on Portobello Road starting at £55 a night.

The Main House
6 Colville Rd
Kensington, Greater London, W11 2, UK
Caroline Main's lovely Victorian guest house has become a top Notting Hill accommodation by word of mouth alone. Each suite takes up an entire floor of the house, which … is furnished like a stylish, neutral-toned home with unpretentious antiques and no clutter. And the suites aren't merely pretty -- there's service, too! A private cell phone, Wi-Fi, TV, and a newspaper in the morning with tea or coffee in bed. All this steps away from Portobello Road and starting from £50 per person, per night. [link]
Georgian House
Brent, Greater London, NW10, UK
If you're looking to rent a private flat, this lovely two-level apartment in a Georgian house is closer to Kensal Green than the center of Notting Hill, but it's still …
only about a 10-minute walk to Portobello Market. The place has its own entrance, and is decorated in a bright, contemporary style with the charm of a real home. There's a full kitchen so you can cook your own meals, a washer/dryer, a local cell on loan, Wi-Fi in the reading room, and cable in the lounging room plus a roof terrace. From £120.
