Bowden Court (Notting Hill)

Travelers seeking comfort, convenience, and excellent food will find a wonderful haven at LHA Bowden Court, which is tucked away in the center of London. Warm warmth and a lively atmosphere greet you as soon as you walk through the doors, setting the stage for an amazing stay.The atmosphere of the hostel is the ideal blend of contemporary style and homey warmth. The well-furnished common rooms offer lots of space for mingling, unwinding, or even getting work done. You feel completely at home whether you're dining outside on the terrace or just relaxing in the comfortable lounge. There's a friendly vibe throughout. The Italian chef name's Matteo D'Angelo at Bowden Court is definitely one of the highlights; his culinary skills take the dining experience to new heights. Each dish like Beef Josh Rogan, Chicken Lasagna is a work of art that has been carefully and meticulously prepared. Every piece of food, from creative fusion meals to classic Italian classics, is a symphony of tastes that entices the palate.

Bowden was a great experience I had the opportunity to live there for 3 months and i'm so happy i chose this place The area is incredible and close to the centre and the metro All the staff are very kind and nice The people at reception don't hesitate to help if you have any questions and react quickly if you have a problem And they try to understand you even if you speak a broken English Many thanks to Chika, Aditia, Dinkal and Vedica (sorry if i killed your names) Another great thing about the residence is the meals There are different dishes every day with several options and all home-cooked by a real chef I wasn't expecting this at all before i came and i was really surprised by the variety of dishes and the fact that everything is made on the same day Thanks to the Chef Matteo and the volunteers who are trained by him and learn his recipes (like the Nisshan tiramisu, is amazing). Meal times and the dinner-room are also great opportunities to meet other people And there is a real gym in the residence, small but well equipped I have been really happy to live here I want to come back

Hi Team, I stayed at Bowden Court for 15 days. The rooms and public areas were consistently clean. Manager Chika deserves special recognition for his helpfulness and understanding nature. He listened attentively to any concerns and ensured timely solutions. A special thanks to manager Chika for his attentiveness and willingness to address any concerns promptly.

Unfortunately I haven’t received my refund. I stayed in July 2023 and to secure the booking by LHA you need to pay a holding deposit of one week’s accommodation charge - £240.75. They also wrongly charged me for one day more and they said I would receive my refund but I’m still waiting for it. I contacted LHA by email MANY times, also contacted Bowden Court by phone and they asked me to send an email. I’m super frustrated because I had a great time in London and for many foreigners (specially the ones that are not from Europe, this refund is a lot of money). Be careful with your stay!

Bowden Court is a very nice place to stay in London!!! The best thing about it, it’s there staff, specially Alvaro and Antonio, always there to help you with everything!!! Also the location couldn’t be better!

I’ve had the pleasure of residing at Bowden Court for 5 months now, and I must say that the experience has been nothing short of exceptional, largely due to the diligent efforts of the Assistant Manager, Ms. Dinkle Soni. Her dedication to the residents and the facility is evident in every interaction. Whether it’s addressing our concerns with a swift and effective resolution or going the extra mile to ensure our comfort, Ms. Soni has created an atmosphere that is both welcoming and professional. Ms. Soni’s approach to management is characterized by her attentive listening skills and a remarkable ability to balance the operational needs of Bowden Court with the personal touch that makes a residence feel like home. Her leadership style fosters a sense of community and her presence is a reassuring constant in the day-to-day life of this establishment. Her commitment to excellence is mirrored in the staff’s performance, which speaks volumes about her influence and the standards she upholds. Furthermore, Ms. Soni’s innovative strategies have significantly enhanced the living experience here. From organizing events that bring residents together to implementing efficient administrative processes, her initiatives have not gone unnoticed. It’s clear that she values resident feedback and is proactive in making improvements that benefit the entire Bowden Court community. In closing, I believe that Ms. Dinkle Soni’s role as Assistant Manager has been pivotal to the warm and efficient environment at Bowden Court. Her exemplary service, leadership, and genuine care for residents’ wellbeing set her apart. I have every confidence that under her management, the reputation of Bowden Court as a premier accommodation will continue to grow.

Last year im was living in different hostel from LHA and both were good in terms of a acomodation and frendly staff, really helpful to visit and expirience the city of London in nice and safe areas but i have to mention that my experience in Bowden court in terms of food i have to say that in Bowden the food optionas are more than in others hostels that I been before they have many vegetarian options every day also I could taste that is made fresh ,also fish and different kinds of meat like chicken, beef lamb, lamb lasagne one of my favourite ,chilli con carne ,also I notice that Mateo the Cheff make some food like Indian style using different spices and making some dishes spiced what surprised me cos I ask if the cheff was from India then I found out that he was actually Italian.
