Reviews of Bowden Court (Notting Hill)

C. L.

Upgraded hostel in the heart of Notting Hill. Very clean and presentable. Staff was helpful and respectful. I stayed in a double room, which was clean and tidy. New carpet throughout the hostel, freshly painted, new shower and toilet facilities. I loved the small fridge in the room! I only spent one night and left early in the morning, therefore I did not get the opportunity to enjoy the breakfast. Close proximity, approximately 8 minutes walk to Notting Hill Station. Many bus routes nearby. I was very comfortable during my stay and would definitely stay here again.

Have stayed at Bowden Court for a number of months. The rooms are clean and tidy. The food is good and consistent. The residents are a vibrant mix of both young and old, students and workers. The atmosphere is safe, secure and respectful. The location is excellent value for central London. Finally, all the staff are very friendly & courteous. Nothing is too much trouble and they are always willing to help. Would highly recommend Bowden Court!

S. R.

Great location and catered hostel. Absolute value for money. Food tastes good with many varieties. A very nice and friendly chef Matteo, always accomodates suggestions and recommendations and makes effective adjustments. He is a great chef.

Bowden Court venue: Super Welcoming, really helpful! Many thanks!

E. D.

I am staying in this hostel close to Portobello Road and in the very nice neighbourhood of Notting Hill. The single room is big enough to stay for a few weeks, the food is good value for the money and the staff are reale welcoming and Professional. Big thumb up for you guys, you are doing a good job!

A. N.

Bowden court and many of the other lha hostels provide affordable beds in central areas. Great if you are visiting London for short periods or don't want to commit to long term accomodation. Bowden has decent private shower rooms as well as baths, 2 meals included, lockable wardrobe, gym, and other facilities to make hostel living more than bearable. 5 stars if you open up more of the outdoor area again guys! Would make socialising much easier and more enjoyable.

H. A. A.

Great price for a fantastic location. Close to pretty much everything. Facilities are top notch. Suitable for tourists and people looking for a place to stay for a couple of weeks. Management and staff could be friendlier.

I spent a few months in bowden court I appreciated the availability of elena chika in ramon always very kind !!! But above all the sad days of the covid-19 were made happier by the spectacular majestic and sublime food of chef matteo who accompanied us every day with his elegant professionalism !!! I hope to return soon I highly recommend !!! I have attached the photo of the chicken au gratin that I ate in the Valentine's day menu of chef matteo !!!

A. I.

Great location and simple accommodation process. But facilities need to be refreshed, poor gym and breakfast (lunch or dinner are pretty good), not all staff friendly. Good for students and travelers without children and pets.

M. L.

Had a viewing of the recently refurbished rooms and looks fab. Guide was super friendly and had the answers to all of my questions. Come a long way since I last visited two years ago.

A. N.

Big student hostel. The 1,2 and 3 people rooms options. Showers are pretty old and small. Theres no kitchen but they cook dinner during weekdays and lunch during weekend.

P. I.

Cleaner than many other LHA hostels. Only issue, the dinning room closes after eating so, they force you out while most people are socializing after a meal.

G. R.

Very enjoyable meals and great selection of food. Portions are plentiful. Highly recommended! My congratulations to chef Matteo!!!

M. C.

Twin room comfortable in size and clean, good closet for storage. Breakfast and dinner included in price! Good value acommodation with clean facilities.

H. B.

Pros: Decent price. 5 minutes from bus stop and underground tube. Good breakfast. Cons: Bathrooms are not cleaned often enough. Breakfast on the weekend is way too late.

R. R.

Good residence, very good position. The food was average, personal is quite friendly, except for a couple of receptionist. The rooms are pretty good, not too clean but for the price is ok. The bathrooms and the showers are the worst thing of the residence... But what would you expect in a student's residence from shared bathrooms and showers? All in all, good accomodation, good price. Recommended.

I. M. F.

Cheap hostel, small rooms. The food is nice and you have a microwave for the not included meals. The wifi is fast.

J. K.

Surprisingly good value for the neighbourhood. Very much a hostel, but clean and bright. Limited heating. No towels.

S. C.

The place is situated in a good location. Quiet and close to shops. The food is okay and the room is okay for the price.

The staff was helpful. Also very clean. Closee to transport

C. C.

A lot of amenities, but bathroom facilities are a bit lacking

One of the cheapest last minute place we could get in London, close to Hyde park, about 15 minutes walk. It's very close to a tube station and plenty of places to eat nearby. The room was very basic, two single beds, 2 wardrobes, 2 bedside cabinets and a sink, but you get what you pay for.

M. M.

Fine experience. Clean is near to be acceptable. Food quality is very low. For that price you can appreciate the very good location.

A. P.

Like an hostel but with a bit of privacy too (your own room)

A. I. y.

One of the best deal here in London in terms of value for money, you will never regret your stay.

Great location, decent price, friendly staff. Only the toilets could be cleaner with more toilet paper provided.

F. P.

Good hostel with a friendly environment, little garden. The food is really bad!!!

F. K.

No frills budget accommodation catering mostly to young student and working people.

D. M.

Clean rooms, quiet, great value for money

A. S.

It is a great place to stay both short term than long term. You will find that most guests are here long term. Most right now are from Spain, Italy and France. The food is OK. It is caffetteria style food. They could do beter wuth a more nutritious and balanced diet. Most of the times we get a ridiculous amount of carbs and very few proteins. Fruit most of the times is not existent. The place has a gym and a study room which is always nice to have. The laudry facility could have more equipment and coukd be cheaper £3.20 is way too much. You have strategucaly find a good time for laundry and you won't have problem wuth overcrowding. I love the fact it is un Notting Hill. Hyde park and Holland park both in walking distance. It is super close to the Central an District/circle line that will talke you virtually anywhere. The price is affordable especially if you decide to stay couple of weeks or more.

F. P. B.

Very nice place, clean and comfortable. The breakfast time could last a little longer

A. S.

Decent hostel. Free breakfast (and dinner?).

(Translated) I wish I had more time in 2019 to explore London. Nice city, good people, but too much energy gathered in one place where all those fears of the past and the desire for a peaceful future before us are mixed. Greetings from Delchevo, Macedonia and all the best to all the good people in the world and beyond. (Original) Посакувам да имав повеќе време 2019 да го разгледам Лондон. Убав град, добри луѓе, но, премногу енергија собрана на едно место на кое се мешаат сите оние стравови од минатото и желбата за мирна иднина пред нас. Поздрав од Делчево, Македонија и секое добро на сите добри луѓе во светот и пошироко.

(Translated) Excellent location, almost in the center of London, good and cozy rooms to spend a good stay, to share with different cultures and make friends. (Original) Excelente ubicación, casi en el centro de Londres, buenas y acogedoras habitaciones para pasar una buena estancia, poder compartir con diferentes culturas y hacer amistades.

O. V.

(Translated) Stayed in a double room. Of the pluses - the rooms are large, an excellent area, near the metro, good pubs, many souvenir shops, and a park nearby. Of the minuses - towels are not included in the price and they are not offered even when checking in. Included in breakfast. Buffet with toast, cereal, nutella, apples. The room has a washbasin with a mirror. Probably, if living with strangers is not very convenient. In the toilet or bathroom there are no mirrors to wash there. (Original) Останавливалась в номере на двоих. Из плюсов - комнаты большие, отличный район, рядом метро, хорошие пабы, много сувенирных магазинов, недалеко парк. Из минусов - полотенца не входят в стоимость и их не предлагают даже при заселении. Входит в завтрак. Шведский стол с тостами, хлопьями, нутеллой, яблоками. В номере умывальник с зеркалом. Наверное, если жить с чужими людьми, не очень удобно. В туалете же или ванной зеркал нет, чтобы умыться там.

S. C.

(Translated) I had a single room. It was decent. The showers were okay, however the toilets could be disgusting if you're unlucky - I avoided using them. Food depends - sometimes it's decent good, but sometimes it's rather inedible. I stayed for 4 weeks. Sometimes it was a bit noisy, but alright. The fire alarm went on three times (once in the evening, once at 6:30 am and once at 1:30 am) - annoying. Location good (close to Notting Hill Gate Station). Single room was ok, showers as well. Toilets sometimes very disgusting, if you're unlucky, then I did not use them anymore. The food is mostly ok, but sometimes quite inedible. I stayed here for 4 weeks. Sometimes it was a bit noisy at night, but it went. Annoying Disturbance: Fire alarm went off three times in 4 weeks, once in the morning and once in the middle of the night. Location was good, too.

[German] Einzelzimmer war ok, Duschen ebenso. Toiletten manchmal sehr eklig, wenn man Pech hat, ich habe sie dann nicht mehr benutzt. Das Essen ist meistens ganz in Ordnung, manchmal aber auch ziemlich ungenießbar. Ich war hier für 4 Wochen. Manchmal war es nachts etwas laut, aber es ging. Nerviger Störfaktor: Feueralarm ging dreimal in 4 Wochen los, einmal früh am Morgen und einmal mitten in der Nacht. Lage gut, wirkte auch sicher.

(Translated) Bowden Court is a nice place to stay in a perfect location .. close to Portobello Road Market and all supermarkets, underground station notting hill gate. The fitness studio, which is included in some room rates, is great, open 24 hours and has all common equipment. There is also a laundry room, but the most important thing is the microwave / kettle room. Because the food is included in the price ... but not edible. For allergy sufferers or special diets (vegetarian, gluten-free, Muslim-friendly or similar) there are no alternatives, fresh fruit / vegetables at most once a week. The 24h security is good, but the constant control is annoying at some point ... sanitary facilities as usual in UK. (Original) Bowden Court ist eine schöne Unterkunft in einer perfekten Lage..direkte Nähe zum Portobello Road Market und allen Supermärkten, underground station notting hill gate. Das Fitnessstudio, dass in manchen Zimmerraten inkludiert ist ist toll, 24h geöffnet und hat alle gängigen Geräte. Waschraum etc ist auch vorhanden, das wichtigste ist jedoch der Mikrowellen/Wasserkocher-Raum. Denn das Essen ist zwar im Preis drin..aber nicht essbar. Für Allergiker oder spezielle Diäten (vegetarisch, glutenfrei,Muslim gerecht o.Ä.) gibt es keine Alternativen, frisches Obst/Gemüse höchstens einmal die Woche. Die 24h Security ist zwar gut, aber die ständige Kontrolle nervt auch irgendwann...sanitäre Einrichtungen wie üblich in UK.

(Translated) Clean rooms in which two people liked what is far from Hyde Park by bus and also walking benefit for a person who has a night or two nights only to sleep. I took him 23 pounds by breakfast but I did not try breakfast and there is a gym (Original) نظيف كل غرفه فيها شخصين اعجبني ما هو بعيد من الهايد بارك بالباص وايضاً مشي ينفع للشخص اللي حاب يسكن ليله أو ليلتين فقط للنوم. أخذته ٢٣ باوند بالإفطار ولكن لم اجرب الافطار ويوجد نادي رياضي

(Translated) Great hotel. Perfect location for exploring all of London. You'll be in the city soon. It is located near the beautiful Hyde park. Good price-quality ratio. (Original) Prima hotel. Perfecte ligging voor het verkennen van heel Londen. Je bent zo in de stad. Het ligt vlakbij het mooie Hyde park. Goeide prijs kwaliteits verhouding.

J. M.

(Translated) It is a comfortable, beautiful, very quiet place to spend short or long stays. (Original) Es un lugar cómodo, bonito, muy tranquilo para pasar cortas o largas estancias.

(Translated) From the outside, the hotel looks like a large old hospital, even the reception gives the idea of a structure born with another purpose. The check in was fast and formal, the receptionists were Italian but they didn't speak to me in Italian, I don't know why, but it doesn't matter. The room was a single with shared bathroom, comfortable, small but basic, with the sink in the room. Breakfast was included but I didn't use it on my days there. The area is great, next to Notting Hill Gate tube station in London, and the prices are affordable. Negative notes: room service, to see if he can clean the room, knocks and enters with his key. If they see that someone is there, they close immediately apologizing, but I think there are better ways than breaking in. Another negative note, the bathrooms can get dirty after one night, perhaps it would take more control. (Original) L'albergo, da fuori, sembra un grande ospedale antico, anche la reception dà l'idea di una struttura nata con un altro scopo. Il check in è stato veloce e formale, le receptionist erano italiane ma non mi hanno parlato in italiano, non so per quale motivo di preciso, ma non importa. La stanza era una singola con bagno in comune, confortevole, piccina ma essenziale, con il lavandino in camera. La colazione era inclusa ma non ne ho usufruito nei miei giorni di permanenza. La zona è ottima, accanto la fermata della metro Notting Hill Gate a Londra, e i prezzi sono convenienti. Note negative: il servizio in camera, per vedere se può pulire la stanza, bussa e entra con la sua chiave. Se vedono che c'è qualcuno richiudono subito scusandosi, ma penso ci siano modalità migliori piuttosto che irrompere. Altra nota negativa, i bagni dopo una notte possono diventare sporchi, forse ci vorrebbe più controllo.

(Translated) Great place to spend a short or long season in London. In the heart of Notting Hill, a quiet, clean, well-organized place with breakfast and dinner. Nearby there are several supermarket, subway and bus stops and Poundland to save money on basic purchases. (Original) Gran sitio para pasar una temporada corta o larga en Londres.En el corazón de Notting Hill, un lugar tranquilo, limpio, bastante bien organizado y con desayuno y cena. Cerca hay varios supermercado, metro y paradas de autobuses y Poundland para ahorrar dinero en compras básicas.

(Translated) Only enjoyable shared bathrooms and a modest breakfast I would recommend taking a glass with you always (Original) ممتع فقط الحمامات مشتركة وافطار متواضع انصح بأخذ كوب معك دائما

J. C. F. M.

(Translated) Only visit, shared bathroom, good room and good reception (Original) Solo de visita, baño compartido, buena habitación y buena recepción

(Translated) The staff was friendly and I felt good. The location is quiet. There is no danger in a quiet residential area, and the station and bus stop are close! It is a bathroom which is only one thing I missed ................ It is quite inconvenient because there is no shelf and hangers .. ㅜ I do not have a line in the shower, (Original) 직원들이 친절해서 기분이 좋았땅ㅎㅎ위치도 조용한주택가에 있어서 위험하지도않고 역과 버스정류장도 가까움! 딱하나 아쉬웠던게 욕실인데................선반이랑 옷걸이가 없어서 상당히 불편..ㅜㅜ 샤워기에 줄이없어서 머리만감고싶어도 강제샤워를 해야하는...
