Why go
Book The Laslett if Notting Hill is the point of the trip and a vetted boutique base matters more than big-hotel facilities. Its MICHELIN hotel selection and Mr & Mrs Smith approval make it a safer smaller-property choice, especially for travellers who plan to spend more time exploring west London than staying in the room.
About The Laslett
Is The Laslett worth booking in London? It may be, if you want a London hotel with smart casual expectations and external recognition from the MICHELIN Guide hotel selection and Mr & Mrs Smith.
Before booking, check the details that matter for your trip, including neighbourhood character, facilities, dining, room count, service style, and exact amenities. Shortlist The Laslett for its recognition signals, then review the practical details before committing.
Book it for a recognized London stay, then check the details
The right guest is someone who values a London base and is comfortable checking the finer points before committing. The dress code is smart casual, which suggests a polished but not overly formal expectation. Do not assume specifics about room categories, spa facilities, restaurant service, concierge depth, or in-house programming without checking them directly.
Room-category strategy should be handled directly with the hotel or booking platform. If space, work setup, accessibility, or quiet is important, confirm those details before choosing a category. Match the room to the practical needs of the trip rather than assume a particular layout or amenity set.
Timing works well when the practical details line up
For booking timing, avoid relying on a fixed claim that The Laslett is easy or hard to reserve at a particular time. London hotel demand can vary, so compare current rates and availability for your dates rather than relying on a fixed booking window or best season.
The recognition signals are reassuring: The Laslett is listed as MICHELIN Guide, Hotels Selected for 2025 and has a Mr & Mrs Smith Seal of Approval for 2026. That does not automatically make it the right choice for every London trip. It does mean the hotel has passed external filters that can matter when choosing a property.
Use it as a London base, then build the trip around the city

If comparing hotel styles more broadly, keep the comparison focused on the essentials. The Laslett is a London hotel with smart casual expectations and external recognition; for anything more specific, compare directly against current hotel listings and your own trip needs.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
The Laslett feels like a well-turned residential address rather than a conventional hotel. Housed across five interconnected Victorian townhouses with stucco fronts, it reads as a tucked-away part of Notting Hill: quiet, restrained in scale and rich in neighbourhood detail. The property’s small number of keys and focus on locally sourced artwork keep the atmosphere intimate and domestic rather than institutional. Its quiet slip-road setting—removed from Portobello Road’s tourist bustle but close enough for market access—gives the hotel a tucked-away, charming character that foregrounds residential comfort over grand-hotel theatrics.
Best For
The Laslett suits travellers who want a neighbourhood-embedded stay in Notting Hill rather than a large, multi-outlet hotel experience. It is ideal for guests who value quiet streets, period architecture and a boutique, design-conscious atmosphere: those after a relaxed base for exploring the Saturday market, museum visits or strolling the nearby streets. Inclusion in curated selections underscores its credibility for visitors who prize independent, small-scale hotels that trade on local character and careful curation rather than scale or spectacle.
Stay Tips
Because The Laslett deliberately keeps its number of keys low, plan ahead and book early—especially for weekend stays or market Saturdays when Notting Hill is busier. Expect a residential feel on arrival and factor in a short walk to Portobello Road (about ten minutes), rather than immediate access to big-hotel services. If you prefer a quieter room, mention the slip-road location when reserving; for context about neighbourhood dining and sights, request local recommendations from the hotel to make the most of the area.
