Great Notting Hill hotel

This hotel is located in a beautiful neighborhood in the Notting Hill area. Front desk was wonderful & let us check in early & was always responsive to any questions. It is easy to get to the Underground which makes traveling in London a breeze. Great experience & I would stay there again.

Greatest location

Great stay, great location and great value for money. Big , light triple room. Comfortable big double bed however the extra bed was very uncomfortable and noisy. No hot water to shower last day. But over all we really recommend this nice hotel!

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!

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

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.

Comfortable & clean rooms, kind & helpful staff

It was a very clean and nice hotel. Located in a nice area and Very close to tube station. I also loved the garden as well. The staff was very kind and helpful. Our room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom looks renovated and very nice. The only thing is; our room was below the ground floor because we needed a room for 5 people, we could hear the underground trains but it wasn’t so bad because we were already very tired and fell asleep :) Overall it was a very good value for money.

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.

Tube runs under hotel......

Very nice staff clean room The only thing there is a tube (subway) that runs under the hotel and my husband timed it and it was about every three minutes. During the day it didn't bother us because we were out but the tube ran til 12 at night. Also no elevator. It is a house made into a hotel. Very nice area laundry mat down the road which is handy when traveling.

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.

Nice location for a stay in London

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.
