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.

Not the best experience

Liked: We are happy that booked one night only, that was the only good point.
Disliked: The room was in a basement, the mould smell was so strong it was impossible to breath, there was no air at all! I think, it should be clearly stated that the room you book is in the basement, I'd simply wouldn't book it. We could hear the train from the underground every 3-5 mins. The lock in the bathroom was faulty, it wasn't easy to open the door. The sit on the toilet was wobbly. The smell in bathroom was awful, the drain in the sink was partially blocked. The breakfast wasn't good but we were alright with this. In general, we always book accommodation in London within similar price range and all we expect is a very basic but CLEAN place to sleep. All I can say, so far this is the worst accommodation we had in London at this price.
