Very well located, being situated very quietly but just three minutes walk from the Underground station, shops, pubs restaurants and all other amenities, this boutique style hotel has excellent rooms each with a small kitchenette. Self catering supplies are easily available alongside the underground station. My only negative observations would be that the heating / ventilation system was quite noisy.... More

We stayed 8 nights. One of our best hotel stays anywhere (and we travel over 100 days a year). Big bed, firm mattress, deep sleep. Lots of supermarkets in the area. Buy your favorite snacks and enjoy it in your room. Fridge, microwave, hot water kettle, plates, cutlery, corkscrew, glasses, tea cups. No dining table -- only a laptop desk... More

This was my 3rd stay here, still impressed with the level of service from the hotel staff, especially during this visit - for example, on the morning of departure, right at check-out time, I had a luggage malfunction and had to urgently get a new one in time to re-pack & get to the airport on time to catch my...

This was my second stay at Base2Stay in Kensington and I was just as impressed as last time. Room: Since I only stayed for one night this time, I booked a single room instead of a larger double room. I found the size of the room to be perfectly adequate for one person and would not have minded staying there... More

My first trip ever to London !. It was a business trip and we had 3 stays in 3 different hotels to look forward to. Our first stop was a one night stay at Base2Stay in Kensington. This is a lovely boutique hotel situated in a quiet neighborhood . It has a very contemporary look but it’s also very comfortable... More

I booked this hotel based on the good reviews I read. I have to say that it worked really well for me. The room was clean and very comfortable and modern, which I loved. The area is quiet and safe and many restaurants and cafes around. What really impressed me though was the staff & the service. It was quick,... More

Great location, modern, friendly staff, clean and also has a very small kitchenette. Name says it all, a good base to stay in London. The only downside is the quality of the wi-fi. When I stayed there at times the quality was so poor it was unusable; otherwise no complaints More

Website does a good job of representing the hotel rooms fairly accurately. A great location and nicely updated place, but as in any large city doesn't offer much space for the price. More than two individuals staying in the larger, deluxe room would have made it a very cramped place. Very glad we paid more for the "extra" space. WiFi... More

We had booked to base2stay because of location and the good contributions on Tripadvisor. However, when we checked in, we were given a very small room in which we could not move. We kindly requested the receptionist to change the room, saying this was not what we saw in the internet, however he did not change. Then we found out... More

Dear Selva18, I’m sorry that your initial room was not suitable, and the in-room safe had been temporarily removed for maintenance. Looking at your reservation, I can see that we were fully-booked in your room category; however our team were able to move a late arrival and change the room for you. You booked one of our twin/king rooms, which... More
