Notting Hill: from movie stars to backpackers

A new hostel just opened in the heart of Notting Hill, one of the most popular districts in London

It's been 15 years since Notting Hill was released. The film, directed by Roger Michell, increased this lovely London district's popularity. It is exactly in Notting Hill that a new hostel has just opened: a perfect base for you to explore the district and feel the enchanting atmosphere and positive mood of the film.

In 1999 Notting Hill achieved a resounding success: within few months it made more than $360m worldwide and even received 3 Golden Globe nominations in 2000. One of the strong points of this comedy film is its simple and effective plot that makes people dream: Hugh Grant represents an ordinary young man who meets a famous Hollywood movie superstar (Julia Roberts) in his humble travel bookshop. And guess what? He falls in love with her!

As a result, also its setting, Notting Hill, a peaceful and elegant corner of a chaotic and lively city such as London, became popular.
