Base2Stay Hotel Kensington

The Base2Stay in Kensington is a great location - just a short walk to the Earl's Court tube station, it's an easy ride to many of London's attractions. The hotel is quiet, clean and the room had a convenient kitchenette. The staff was friendly and helped to make our vacation a great one.

I don't have anything bad to say about this hotel, and I can only compare it to US hotels I have stayed at. The room was small, just enough room to walk around the queen sized bed. The free WiFi was adequate, but got very slow at certain times of day. High speed wired Internet access was available for an additional fee. My room had a refrigerator, sink, and coffee maker in one unit, which was handy. Drinking glasses and coffee cups were provided. There was a small safe in the closet, which I really liked. It was very easy to assign your own combination. The bathroom had the basics -- sink, shower, and toilet, plus a heated drying rack for the towels. All worked adequately except the sink drain was a bit slow. The desk staff was polite and helpful. The housekeeping staff did a good job. For food, there are only vending machines. (The 16.9 ounce milk carton was my favorite beverage.) No hotel dining room or lounge. However, there are many nice restaurants within easy walking distance.

My daughter and I stayed here and it was just right! The location is very good, a few blocks away from the Earls Court tube, and a lots of basic shops and good restaurants. The staff was so helpful and friendly, they printed emails 4 me & let me use their phone after I checked out. The room is not huge, but very clean and everything seems new. The towels were nice & fluffy,beds were comfy. Nice big TV. The kitchenette was put to a lot of use as we like to eat breakfast in and snack at night!

Great hotel, great location....perfect after busy days sight seeing or shopping to retreat to and relax. Everything you need in close proximity. Only complaint would be that the shower constantly ran hot then cold after being in for more that a couple of mins.

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 for visiting many of the famous places in the center of London, and for access to Heathrow. Finally, the price we paid was reasonable for London. We would definitely use the hotel again.

nice place. Quiet, convenient, modern. What more could you want?

We stayed at Base2Stay Kensington for two nights in London following a British Isles cruise. It was exactly what we wanted in a hotel -- clean, quiet, modern and in a very convenient location, just 1.5 blocks from the Earl's Court tube station. The staff was friendly and helpful and we took advantage of the hotel's discounts at neighborhood restaurants. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

Very nice accommodations, great having a kitchen for popcorn and a movie!

Excelllent lodging for a quick trip to London. Hotel has all the amenities needed, no wasted space with restaurants, etc. Very close to Earl's Court Tube, with direct and speedy access to all of London. Helpful staff, cater to your needs without being obtrusive or invasive. Small rooms, like all over London, but sparkling bathrooms and all the electronics (WiFi, etc.) that you need. Good value, would readily stay there again.

Being so close to Earl's Court Underground was a definite plus, when dragging cases and backpacks. Our first stay was in a smaller lower floor which was fine, but the second stay in a larger upper room was even better, and the same great staff were there both times. The rooms were modern good facilities for our own breakfast. the service was excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending Base2stay for a great base to stay
