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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!
