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.

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.

The hotel is a budget proposition and it shows a little in the communal areas but the staff are friendly, the rooms clean and the location is absolutely fantastic.

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!
Emma, 5-night trip

Nice !!

All good with this hotel. Didn't have the breakfast because I'm not big on continental but must say it looked nice laid out . Would stay again :)
Mark, 1-night trip

I will definitely recommend this place. Everyone is very polite and they treat us very well. We really appreciate all the attention we received. I will come back with my family.

10/10 Exceptional

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
Elise, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Sharon, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Would revisit

Clean, functional and close to all amenities.Tube station 5 minute walk away as is a wide and varied food offering. Continental breakfast had a great selection and was tasty!
Reg, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Laura, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was wonderful. The only thing i would change is the shower water pressure. The room was large, comfortable, and quiet.
Cindy, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not suitable for London Summers as there is no AC

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.
