What guests think

Across reviews, Blue Bells Hotel is praised for its quiet Notting Hill location near the Underground and for friendly, accommodating staff, with many guests finding it good value for a simple stay despite its older, budget feel.

Room experiences vary widely: some are large and quiet, others feel small or hot in warm weather due to no air conditioning, and basement rooms can have limited views or occasional train noise. Several reviews report unreliable or nonworking Wi-Fi, plus occasional maintenance issues like weak water pressure, faulty shower controls, or a broken safe. Breakfast feedback is mixed, from tasty continental choices to basic or cleared away too quickly, and some also note there is no lift and communal areas can feel dated. Expect a modest base with variable room comfort.

Not a suitable property to stay during summers. NO Air conditioning - rooms are suffocating to stay without AC in London Summer seasons - Nights are terrible. Also no lift means that anyone who stays 2nd floor or above with luggage will have a terrible time taking the luggage up or down.

We were placed in the basement of the hotel with minimal views. The room was clean and comfortable, with a good bed. The breakfast should get an upgrade, both when it comes to the variety of food and how the food is presented.

The location was great! Felt very safe walking around as a female traveler, (the neighborhood is beautiful) and it was quite close to the metro station. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom were clean and overall nice. We stayed in the triple room and the pull out bed was actually very comfortable. Would stay here again in a future visit to London for sure!

Convenient for what we needed as we were partaking in the Marathon, was not one bit worth £169 though. Room was dirty, cold and noisy. Breakfast was so basic but it did for what we needed. Wouldn’t stay again though. Shame as the area and building is beautiful. It’s just not kept properly and looks cheap.

We rented 2 rooms. We had a bed bug experience in one family room but was moved to another family room that same night. The location is great. Walking distance to the tube. Safe area. The breakfast was nice. Our room was upstairs so it was quiet. The other room was in the basement and they mentioned they could hear the trains but not enough to keep them awake.

This was our first stay in Notting Hill, it was a Birthday Treat for my daughter’s 16th! We were very happy with the Bluebell Hotel and loved the location and access to transport links. We had a family room in the basement which was warm and clean with a lovely spacious bathroom, perfect for our family of 4. Thank you

A clean room, with everything you need in it including a fridge; a beatiful modern shower/toilet room. The only minus is that WI-FI was not working.

Such an old building , no air conditioning. Doors and windows are difficult to use. Illogical room set up, fridge in a cabinet blocking all circulation thus it couldn't get cold. No screens on windows so bugs flew in all the time, bathroom with no place to hang towels or toilet paper. The only nice thing was the included breakfast.

There was some trouble with my room when I checked in but the staff solved it right away and was very accommodating. The room was clean and nice. Close to a underground station Only thing I would have to remark on, with no reflection the the staff, would be the temperature in the room. If you’re at hot person like me, it was a bit hard to sleep. Got a fan, but not much more you can do in the heat.

The Hotel is in a very nice quiet location but very close to Tube & Bus routes. Room was clean and reasonably well equipped but getting dated. The one desk chair was very shabby and should be disposed of. Room was quiet at night and the bed very comfy but only one pillow per person for the two of us. We will definitely use this hotel again as it was overall good value.

We stayed one night and had a very large room on the ground floor: 3 beds and 1 bathroom for only EU 85 (= approx UK 70 at the time we visited London). Nice quiet neighbourhood, excellent bed and sheets. Nice shower, towels etc. Breakfast was included in the room-price and could be a little better, if we`re honest, but for the price we`ve paid, we will not complain.
