The hotel smells. The desk staff is disinterested at best. The front door is supposed to be unlocked until 11, was locked at 10:30. Front door supposed to be open by 7, was locked at 8:30. They don’t answer their WhatsApp calls. The breakfast was… edible I guess. It was just clean enough to justify not looking for a different place to stay for one night. Location is good.

Me and my friends had a lovely time staying. Love the code-locked main door. The location is very close to the underground service. Close to shops. Nice and quiet neighbourhood. The room was spacious, love the garden view from our room located at the basement. Bathroom is spacious unlike your typical London hotel bathrooms. The continental breakfast is good for the price as well.

The receptionist the day we checked in was not very nice. He did not even show the way to the stairs going to the basement considering that it was our first time in the hotel and we dont know where it was. He was a bit sarcastic when asked. You can hear the tube passing by (though it did not really bother us that much). Main issue was, there was a crack and a leak on the ceiling around the toilet area- it dripped straight to the toilet paper location. So the toilet paper was soaked and not usable.

Overall, will still come back.

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.

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.

Blue Bells Hotel is in Notting Hill on a quiet neighborhood street. There is a lovely park across the street. While it is not too far up into Notting Hill to be remote, it's a little bit of a walk down to the TUBE station, restaurants, shops and activities. For those wanting to be more in the action, this would not be the property for you! Our first impression upon meeting the reception staff would be considered almost borderline rude - our room would not be ready by 2:00 pm - and we were summarily dismissed. We had to ask where we could go to wait. We were begrudgingly told we could wait in the other room (dining/lounge area) but we didn't get that information until we kept asking.The reception counter had a different individual there every day and no real, genuine connection to the staff. MAJOR DRAWBACK: There is no lift nor handicapped access at the property so a 5th floor room with luggage can be challenging. Also, there was no flexibility with the breakfast time. Other properties we've stayed at would've modified the schedule for the holiday time (make it a little later like 7:30-10 am) but there was no such thing and they closed breakfast even earlier on weekends (when people would've wanted to sleep in and eat later!) We would much rather have stayed at a mediocre hotel with fabulous, friendly staff, than in a hotel with not-friendly staff. We will not stay there again when we return to London!

The hotel has a great location on a quiet street with many bars and restaurants within walking distance. Very close to Notting Hill and Portobello market.
The room was spacious but the bathroom was tight. The hotel is under construction and there were signs of unfinished projects all over. We reserved a room for 4 adults and got one bed and one tiny sofa bed. After speaking with reception they brought a twin bed into the room the next day which made the room a little tight .The mini fridge did not work and some of the lights did not work either. The first day was very hot and since they did not have AC they brought in a fan which helped a little. The towels were small and old and they only gave us 1 hand towel for 4 people. Was a little weird.
Continental breakfast was OK. and was included in the price. Most of the staff was nice . Overall I would recommend staying in this hotel.

I had explained on booking that i was disabled and could walk up only few stairs. So they put me on the top floor where we had to go up about 60 steps to get to the room.A very basic room. But lii the night staff was concerened and very kindly got us a room on the first floor. This made life easier. But the bin and the bedding had not been changed and the first night the toilet was blocked. again the staff were very good and polite and did their best to sort it out by the next day. The hotel is a little run down, the staff are wonderful, the breakfast good,the rooms basic. But the hotel is in a great area,and for what we paid I am satisfied. Would I go back.?.

Yes, please.

The location of this charming hotel is perfect; an easy walk from Notting Hill Gate Underground Station in a very pretty, quiet neighborhood. The staff was wonderfully kind, helpful and gracious. The building is undergoing some renovations, so parts of it were a little shabby, but it's clear that improvements are being made and I don't doubt it will be beautiful when it's finished.
The breakfast was delicious, if quite basic and the current serving locations is a little cramped, but again, I expect that renovations will improve this.
The only thing close to a complaint that I have is that the pillows are atrociously thin and floppy, but perhaps some people prefer that.
I would recommend this hotel quite heartily and wish I could see it when the work they're doing is done.
