I can totally recommend this hotel. It is in a great location a few minutes from Earls Court station, and close to lots of restaurants. The rooms are lovely, finished to a high standard and with excellent amenities (I loved the heated towel rail). I found the staff very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a brilliant hotel to stay in. My husband booked a trip to London as a birthday surprise and it was made all the more lovely by the quality of this unpretentious hotel and the staff that work there. From check in to check out the staff were so friendly and extremely helpful! The room itself was lovely, the... More

After an overnight flight from the US this was a welcome reception to London! Great location, easy access to Earl's Court underground, extremely quiet, ultra modern, extraordinarily clean and very modern rooms. The Kitchenette was very welcome with local stores and pubs nearby. The front reception staff was just extraordinary. They are young, upbeat and unbelievably helpful. They offered different... More

What a great place to stay, especially if you're traveling with children. After traveling around Europe for two weeks in various cramped quarters with questionable cleanliness, let me just say that when we walked into this simple yet sophisticated establishment, it was like a breath of fresh air. I can't emphasize enough how everything is very well-thought-out at this hotel.... More

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
