After much frantic searching about a month before my short trip to London I found base2stay (here as it happens!). I was sceptical at the concept of "budget boutique" but was pleasantly suprised. I booked a standard double with breakfast box for about £100, which for central London is great for such a lovely little hotel. The room was small... more

Bravo to the fine staff at Base2Stay Kensington! All during our 5 night stay, we enjoyed our clean, well-organized rooms, an attentive and professional staff, and the great location.

Base2Stay met all these conditions and exceeded my expectations. I booked a double room with bunkbeds online, as this was all that was available, but at the front... more

Just back from a wonderful stay at Base2stay. Check-in was supposed to be from 3pm but when we arrived about noon Manuel on reception checked to see if our rooms were ready, they were not but he said he could have them ready by 1pm. We were in no rush so went off for some lunch, leaving our luggage -... more
