The Spotlight on Blue Bells Hotel

Historic Charm Meets Concert Convenience in Notting Hill

Blue Bells Hotel offers a cozy, budget-friendly stay in a beautiful 18th-century Victorian townhouse in the heart of Notting Hill. Just a short walk from Hyde Park and easily connected to the West End via nearby bus routes and the Notting Hill Gate Underground station, it’s a solid home base for music lovers exploring London’s live scene.
Rooms are simple but charming, with tea and coffee facilities, TVs, and free Wi-Fi in public areas. Expect a classic London vibe with a touch of vintage elegance.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location is a major win. With Notting Hill Gate station just five minutes away, you’re only a few Tube stops from London’s top venues like the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire or Royal Albert Hall. After the show, late-night buses and easy Tube access make getting back a breeze. While there’s no 24-hour front desk or elevator, check-in starts from 15:00, giving you time to settle in before heading out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends wanting a central yet peaceful location
  • Solo travelers ticking off a dream gig
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of music and markets
  • Fans looking for a quieter post-show recovery space
  • Budget-conscious travelers who still want charm and convenience

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the area is packed with options. Portobello Road’s cafés, international eateries, and late-night bites are just a short walk away. If you’re up late after a show, you’ll find pubs and takeaways close by. Breakfast is available to help you ease into the day after a night of music.

Nightlife Options

Notting Hill has a laid-back nightlife scene, with local pubs, wine bars, and occasional live music spots. For more buzz, hop on the Tube to Soho or Camden. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, its location makes it easy to dive into the city’s vibrant after-dark offerings.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s charming building, quiet street despite the central location, and excellent value for money. The staff is friendly, and the proximity to transport and Portobello Market is a frequent highlight. It’s often described as a “hidden gem” in a lovely London neighborhood.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no elevator, which might be tricky with heavy bags. Some rooms are compact and a bit dated, but most agree the location and price make up for it. Wi-Fi is only available in public areas, so plan your gig research beforehand.

The Bottom Line

Blue Bells Hotel is a charming, affordable base in Notting Hill that puts London’s music venues and nightlife within easy reach—perfect for concert-goers who want character and convenience without breaking the bank.

Great location and friendly staff,...

Liked: Room: The room was just acceptable, functional but a bit-tired looking. It met basic needs, though there’s room for improvement in comfort and overall upkeep.Location: The location is a real highlight. It’s well-connected, with easy access to public transport, restaurants, and key sights in London, very convenient for getting around.Breakfast: Breakfast was decent. It offered enough variety to start the day without being exceptional, but it felt like good value for what was provided.
Disliked: Several areas need improvement. The bathroom fixtures, such as the tap and drainage, were faulty and showed signs of wear, with visible leaks and rust. The hair dryer was also non-functional. In the room, a few lights weren’t working, which made the space feel poorly maintained. The lack of air conditioning posed a real challenge, especially in warmer weather. Thankfully, the hotel staff were friendly and responsive. They quickly provided a fan, which made a big difference in keeping things bearable.

not good value

Liked: * location is good with easy access to public transportation, and close to most attraction* breakfast was ok* upper floors are quiet and beds were comfortable* checked in two rooms, one was good but the family room was quite disappointing.
Disliked: * There was a strong smoking smell in the room when we checked in (which was late at night). had to move to another room for the night to sleep.* no elevator and had to carry luggage across 3 flights of stairs. * Unclean sheets there was hair and stains in the sheets and holes in the blankets* The heater in the bathroom was on (in July), and the staff could not turn it off.
