Normally, I would stay in a hotel but I decided to try a serviced apartment. I stayed in room 116 and first impressions were that it was very small but it did have modern fittings and a comfortable bed. It was quiet as it was at the end of the corridor, which was a blessing. Checking in and out was efficient and friendly. I did have trouble with the TV and someone came at once to sort it out but it was a general fault with the "system" and was sorted the next day. It was very clean and the whole building looked well cared for. The view from the window was, "uninspiring" but I have paid twice the amount for a London Hotel room and have a "kitchen view or blank dirty wall"
The surrounding area was nice and quiet and many pubs, resteraunts and shops within a short walk. Earls Court station is 5 mins walk away. The in room "service guide" was the best I have ever seen with lots of information. So all in all, I can see other reviews complaining about the size of the rooms and that is probably an honest complaint but don't compare 5 star hotels or any American hotel with this apartment as you will obviously be disapointed. All the staff were very attentive and friendly. I would stay again. Once again, I have paid a lot lot more for a hotel room that claims air conditioning but rarely works well. My room had an excellent system.

This is a super Hotel if you want to spend a few days in London. The room, G12, was compact with a good size bathroom. Furniture is modern and clean. Everything works well and the bonus is a closed-in alcove containing everything you need to 'eat in', including microwave, sink, fridge, cups and plates, cutlery and even a corkscrew. We didn't buy continental breakfast (£7), but chose to find a cafe in the neighbourhood. The reception area has been recently refurbished and looks and feels good. Staff on reception were friendly and professional. Located within five minute walk of Earl's Court tube station, the hotel is great for heading into Central London, or visiting nearby Museums in South Kensington. We stayed for one night on 14 November and were very impressed with 'base2stay' and pleased with our experience. Would certainly return.

Loved this hotel - the staff were lovely and very helpful. The decor of the hotel/rooms was great - it's renovated so all new and modern, but still has a lovely warm feel. Very high standard of cleanliness, and good services - although the hotel doesn't have a restaurant, there is a range of restaurants in the area that deliver to the hotel, so a quiet night in with "room service" is still possible if you're feeling weary. It is great having the little kitchenette in the room, to make your own breakfast, and tea and coffee whenever you feel like it.

The location is great - South Kensington is beautiful, and the nearest tube station (Earls Court) is only a couple of minutes walk away. There are restaurants on Earls Court Road for eating out, and High Street Kensington is only about a 10 minute walk if you want to do some nice clothes shopping.

Earls Court station is on 2 different tube lines, and a 5 minute walk away there is Gloucester Rd station which is on 3 lines, so you can get around most of central London very easily from this spot.

I highly recommend this hotel.

An alternative for people like me that sees hotels as a place to sleep, take a long & warm shower and get in and out very fast.

If you like hotels with big lobby, bell boy, fancy room service and spacious rooms this is not an option because the room are not big like Hyatt or Hilton.

My room was quite simmilar to a room in Tokyo (capsule hotel) but way better. It hasnt more than 4x4 mts but very smart designed. It had a small kitchenette with fridge and sink as well as free cable TV and Internet.

If you are lucky and have the opportunity to have Wigas on duty at the front desk ask him for his advice about everything you are planning to do because he knows about discounts and better options which will help you to save money. With his help i got discounts at restaurants, transportation services, city tours, etc.

The hotel location is perfect because you are far away from the busy city of London but in the grand London area. Earl court underground station is one block away from the hotel and there is an easy access to the local transportation system (BUS)

The rooms are very well isolated from the external noise (street) and my neighbords behaved very well so my nights were quite and relaxing.

There is a Pub one block away and just across the underground station that sells one of the best fish and chips in the area.

I recommend this place as an option for travelers that are not looking to spend so much time at the hotel.
