We usually stay at different hotels every time we are in London, usually for business more than anything else. Very impressed with base2stay Kensington. Friendly staff, clean well appointed rooms and ideally situated. We were able to park the car overnight on the street as this was free from 6:30 pm to 8:30 am the next day. We will definitely...

We go to London often from Birmingham and generally stay around the Gloucester Road/Kensington area (I can use my brother's parking space!) - normally one of the chains (Marriott, Hilton, Holiday Inn, etc) but they are getting expensive (even with discounts) so base2stay came up on the radar - £75 for a last minute booking (Booking.com) in a king size...

The staff at the Base2Stay were unfailingly helpful. The rooms are somewhat small (this is London, afterall), but well-appointed, new, and clean. We especially appreciated the mini-kitchen as it saved us from worrying about breakfast every day. The location is only 2 blocks from Earl's Court Station, which in on the Picadilly Line, and that makes it very convenient, both... More

First, this was a very good hotel in an excellent location with an exemplary staff. We stayed for 9 nights and are a family of two adults and an only child. We travel extensively, but this was our first time in London. I'm going to share some tips with you to hopefully make this experience as great as you would... More

Another great 8 day stay. Nothing new to say about Base2stay but we did stay in one of the recently renovated rooms and it was very nice. We also found a very nice Lebanese bakery on the main road that was great for breakfast and very good coffee. Will return!

Staff was very attentive and helpful. Upon check in, we had mentioned about the toilet in a less than satisfactory condition, and it was attended to promptly. On top of that, we received 2 cup cakes when we returned to our room the next day. Rooms were otherwise clean as expected. Also has a good location, which is abouts 5... More

Stayed here for 5 nights late last month. Convenient to the tube, in a relatively quiet area, prices (when booking and paying well in advance) seem to be quite good by London standards. We got upgraded (to what, I'm not sure). The room was pretty spacious, and the bathroom was huge by European standards. The only negative was all the... More

Thank you alsyli for your comments, it seems that you had a great stay with us and also enjoyed your room size. We offer a wide choice, from small rooms to big. Apologies about the construction works outside the hotel but as you said we are keeping those under normal working hours and before the end of the month it... More

When we first arrived at this London small hotel the construction was a real turn off. Fortunately, they gave us a better room in a completed part of the hotel. Lovely walking neighborhood, especially for people like us who prefer to stay fit during our vacations. Hotel staff was sweet and sincere.

I came upon this place when I couldn't find anything in Soho. But that didn't matter as the Tube was such great transportation. The place is only a block away from Earl's Court Tube Station and the area is safe to walk at night. Many restaurants are nearby and many of them have the Tripadvisor clingie on their windows. The...
