Blue Bells

Ich war für 4 Nächte im Hotel Blue Bells mit Einzelzimmer und Frühstück. Das Zimmer ist zwar sehr klein, aber sauber und besonders begeistert war ich von dem gemütlichen Bett. Wer allerdings ein vielfältiges Frühstücksbüffet erwartet mit typisch englischem Frühstück, den muss ich leider enttäuschen. Die Auswahl war sehr gering, man wurde dennoch satt. Was das Frühstück wieder wett macht, ist die top Lage dieses Hotels. Wenige Meter Fußweg entfernt, liegen drei Underground Stationen mit optimaler Verbindung zu den bekannten Sehenswürdigkeiten. Für Filmliebhaber findet sich auch in Notting Hill selbst einiges, was man betrachten kann. Ich kann dieses Hotel aufjedenfall für Leute weiterempfehlen, die sehr viel in London unternehmen möchte und denen es ausreicht, zum Schlafen und Frühstücken im Hotel zu bleiben.

Ich habe das Hotel als sehr familiär empfunden. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es handelt sich um ein hübsches Reihenhaus in Notting Hill. Wie es bei diesen Häusern üblich ist, sind die Zimmer etwas hellhörig. Weil über mir noch renoviert wurde, wurde es tagsüber etwas laut. Dafür hatte ich selbst aber bereits ein neu renoviertes Zimmer mit neuem Bad. Vom Frühstück sollte man nicht zu viel erwarten, aber ich habe es trotzdem gerne genützt.

The hotel staff was great...very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast options were limited but adequate. The room was spacious and the bathroom looked recently renovated. Could use better pillows and mattress toppers for better comfort.The location is outstanding. I’d definitely stay again

One of my favorite places to stay. Love the great job they did with the remodel. My room for a solo was cozy, nice decor & great bathroom(even shower head choice).

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!

Great location, on a quiet street, friendly staff, good breakfast. Our room was spacious.

Nice reception, single room small but fine for short stay. Staff friendly and happy to help.

The hotel is very nice and the room too. The only problem is that they don't give you the main door's key, so FROM MIDNIGHT TO 6 IN THE MORNING YOU CAN'T ENTER IN THE HOTEL. I was shock about this, the first evening the receptionist was very nice and he grant me to stay out until 2, but really I'm felt like Cinderella!

Great quite location in Notting Hill! Short walk to start of famous Portobello Market. Stayed in a nearby apartment for the rest of our stay in London on a main road and that was very noisy! Room was clean and cozy. Would definitely stay again!

The location was perfect. We loved the Notting Hill area and the short 5 minute walk to the underground. The hotel itself is in a well-maintained row house and was directly across from a park. It was very attractive and quiet.
