The Best!!
I have to say I had the best weekend in a long time, my stay was very very enjoyable mainly for the fact the room was spacious and being able to have hot snacks without having to go out to eat was a real bonus. While eating we enjoyed watching a movie (pay per veiw) on the Plasma screen ( big screen)The staff are very professional and unlike in the bigger hotels I have stayed in they were friendly and happy to help. When I checked in I got the impression that reception is very well managed, as they seem very well organised and their... more
My little London nest!
I may be shooting myself in the foot here, because as the secret gets out on this new bijou hotel, the harder it will be to book for the next time...........and believe me, there WILL be many more next times! What's not to like about a hotel that focuses on everything the 'man on the move' could possibly wish for in a room - from multiple choice channels on the flat screen TV, to the zen-like bathroom - it's all very 21st century! That's inside - but outside is equally appealing, as it's located in a square facing a garden, which... more
fantastic!!
Me and my partener came to stay at this hotel after reading the great reviews in the times. We were not disapointed warm, welcoming, friendly staff who went out of their way to help us with any queries we had. We stayed in a large double room which was perfect, stylish, clean, and modern. It was lovely to have the choice to cook for ourselves and not have to splash out on dining; however if you did want to dine out the "base directory" on the lovely big flat screen in the room is agreat help, it has everything you could need to... more
Fabulous base for a stay in London!
Base To Stay is highly recommended for people who want a good base whilst in London. Clean, simple and efficient. The hotel is just rooms, no food is served, but they do have a good menu of takeaway options in each room. The rooms are neat and compact, with a sink and fridge in a cupboard, small but good bathroom, large TV screen and comfortable beds. I'd recommend it for anyone working or staying in London who is happy to find food etc. elsewhere and just wants a reasonably priced, comfortable room.
Stylish & great value
Exactly the kind of hotel I love to stay in when staying over on business - great location, helpful staff, super clean and no frilly bits! Yes the room (bunk bed twin) may have been on the small side but they certainly packed a lot in, with high quality fiacilities throughout - in my view having a great bathroom is essential and this one was spot on. I didn't use the kitchenette much but I can definately see the value of this if you were on a longer stay and wanted a break from eating out, also great for those on a budget and ideal for... more
Base2stay Hotel
Base2stay Hotel in the Kensington/Earl's Court area is a real delight. While the rooms are small they are decorated very tastely and manage to accomodate all your needs. The staff was very helpful and eager to please- a great location and pleasant hotel
One of the best in London
After staying in many hotels thoughout London, I saw this one advertisied in a mag. It looked good so I booked. I had a single room which at 1st impression was small, but then I remembered it was London - space is a premium. The decor, facilities and staff were fab. The location is spot on. Not sure about the breakfast, but plenty of places nearby. Overall a great experience.
Too cramped for a long stay
We stayed in a large double room (the GBP110 size) for a number of nights in July. While we would agree with those who compliment the hotel on cleanliness and crisp design, the concept is really not ideal for a stay of more than a couple days. Even the larger double rooms are very small -- essentially you have to sit on the bed if you want to be in the room. The hotel has no public space at all -- no lobby for sitting (so there are usually many people just standing in the hallway waiting for check-in every morning, with all of... more

We also wish we could offer larger rooms at these prices, but space is at a premium in prime areas like Kensington. Our air conditioned rooms come in a range of room sizes, and we've had guests stay happily in single rooms for over a month, even when they were offered larger rooms. So we agree that it's a question of personal preference as to what is satisfactory for a longer stay. We considered installing WiFi (the wiring is already there), but settled on Ethernet cabling as this provides better security for VPN circuits. In addition, in a converted Victorian townhouse with thick walls everywhere, we felt the uncertainty of guaranteeing a strong signal in each room was a disadvantage. We are however re-examining the question and may add WiFi if it can be done satisfactorily.

Nice Hotel
Base2Stay is a modern hotel with great amenities. It's hard to believe all of the stuff in the room could fit into one small room but it did! We especially liked the free Internet access on the flat screen TV/LCD! We were pleased with the room. They were exactly as pictured on the website. The rooms were clean and nicely furnished. Our only disappointment was that one of the rooms booked by our party was supposed to be a double room but it was much smaller than the other double rooms in our group. One hotel staff member... more
Management response from robertarthur

Whilst I am pleased that the guests enjoyed their stay, I have looked into this booking to determine whether there was an issue. The larger rooms were indeed upgrades, whilst the smaller room was the double room category originally booked. The category below doubles are single rooms. Had the guest been in a single, it would have been very clear! Had we had sufficient availability to upgrade all of this party, we would have been pleased to have done so, so I hope thay will understand.

Excellent place to stay
I stayed with my wife in August at base2stay for a romantic long bank holiday weekend. The place was spotless with professional yet friendly staff. We booked a deluxe for two and we were both impressed by everything about this place. The shower was the icing. My wife was so pleased with our stay that she has booked in for another weekend in November. Thanks to the management for bringing to London a breath of fresh air. This place really proves that you dont have to pay above the odds to get luxury
