This place was dirty, as in accumulated dirt, it hadn't seen a decent clean in a long time. There was piles of dust under the beds (we had gone to put out suitcases under there, as we had very little space), the bathroom mirror surround still had toothpaste splashes on it from previous clientele, skirting boards were thick with dust,...

I have lived on five continents and travelled extensively, including all throughout Egypt and Guatemala (developing nations), but I have never been in a hotel as disgusting as this. I have never seen a hotel room so filthy. Everything was dirty: the sheets, the table, the chairs, the walls, the curtains, the end table, the carpet. The bathroom had mold... More

Located a short walk from 3 tube stations and Kensington Gardens Park, the Blue Bells Hotel is centrally located. This, however might be the only good thing this place has going for it. Considering I only paid $75 per night and that included wi-fi in your room and daily breakfast I can’t be too harsh on this place. More of... More

this establishment is truly not up to the standard of "hotel." My college dorm was in better condition. I am not sure when the photos in the brochure were taken but the room we rented did not have nice furniture- it was old, stained and broken. Carpet was dirty. Walls were dirty- had not been painted in years and a... More

Even though it was n't the best hotel I've been, it was nice. The location is very good as the hotel near Notting Hill Gate underground station (5 min).

This place looks nice on the outside - but the inside and the owner/staff are horrible. Stinky, moldy smelling rooms - bathroom was clean - but the rest of the place was disgusting. Did not eat the breakfast as the "dining" area was filthy as well. The toilet from the upstairs room overflowed into our room - came back from... More

It was a cheap £60 for a two-bed room in the height of summer. So it was not expensive at all. And as you would probably have guessed already, it wasn't spectacular either. I have included some photos to let you be the judge of that. The carpet was in an unspeakable state. The small table from IKEA had a... More

The hotel is ok as long as you do not stay in the rooms in the basement/ground floor (very noisy because of the tube). The bathroom was clean, the bedroom looked clean, but had a funky smell. We were four friends and booked two double rooms (at the same price), one room was tiny, the other one was twice the... More
