1.Location! - Easily accessible by the underground and buses, and yet peaceful and quiet. Portobello Road 5 minutes away. 2. Atmospheric - very 19th century, very English, very Jane Austen 3. Breakfast - decent continental, with ham, cheese and toast, so it was not only jam and cereal. 4. No, itsnot a 5-str hotel. If you want five star qualities, book five stars. It was decent, pleasant, clean. 5. Clean, fresh, affordable.

Comfy and clean just round the corner from tube. Staffs were pleasant.

This place exceeded our expectations in every way. We booked a family room sleeping 5 (hard to find good accommodation at a good price anywhere!) and for the price didnt really have high hopes. The Hotel is in a quiet street just a short stroll from Notting Hill Gate, Queensway or Bayswater tube stations (fantastic location!). When we checked in we were lucky enough to have a room on the ground floor (perfect with 2 5 year olds who would have struggled with stairs) & the room was MASSIVE!!! High ceilings & a lovely big bay window made a room sleeping 5 that was already generous seem even bigger. It was clean, the bathroom was great, breakfast was perfect (thanks to lovely staff who really looked after the kids) & we couldnt have asked for more. Exceptional value for money. We tend to book fairly average accommodation so we can lash out on activities when we go on holiday so we didnt expect much for this price. I would not hesitate to book here again.

I wish to say to them thanks a lot for help! I was disappointed and I had a really bad service in "Notting hill hotel", 2 Pembridge Square, which I should leave, so I was without any accommodation for night with the baby (it looked like that horrible hotel kicked me and my baby out!). Yeah, yeah, could somebody believe it?! I was lucky I found "Blue Bells Hotel"! Good price, good room, good service!
