“Great Base 2 Stay”

5/5 found this review helpful

Absolutely Loved It! Fantastic location just a short stroll to Earls Court Station. On Picadilly Line with lifts and ramp to road so easy to arrive directly from Heathrow with luggage.
Fab resteraunts, Pubs, M & S food supermarket, post office, ATMs and Laundromat all within a very easy walk.
Queen Bed room and Kitchenette facilities whilst compact were exceptionally well designed and easy to live in. Simple things like space under the bed for suitcases all made. Internet via the TV was useful even though slightly cumbersome. Decor of the rooms and entire property was very calming, just a fab find. Would highly recomend and definately return.

base2stay Kensington, was the BEST hotel/apparment i have ever stayed in. it was clean, spacious, nice bathroom, comfortable bed, great kitchenette. what else could you ask for???

LOCATION?? the location was outstanding, it was close to the supermarket, heaps of restaurants/cafes, the underground and the gardens. we shared the biggest room of the whole building with a suite and a big bathroom and a king size bed + a balcony. the t.v was awsome too!! it was absolutley freezing when we got to london, but when you got into the hotel + our room it was lovely and warm. I RECOMEND IT TO EVERYONE! i was sensational.

My wife and I used base2stay for 2 nights while we were attending a seminar at the Ibis hotel Earls Court (not a hotel I would recommend) friends also attended and we were able to get 2 adjoining rooms on the ground floor with a joint terrace with tables and chairs. The seminar finished quite late, and, although there are restaurants around the hotel, they seemed to be mainly the fast food type, so it was great to have a kitchenette in a cupboard in the room with crockery, cutlery and glasses. Marks and Spencers food shop is only a few paces away (it stays open quite late) and we were able to buy micowaveable meals of a reasonable quality and cook and eat the meals on the terrace (it was quite sheltered and the weather was not too cold, wouldn't recommend the outdoor meals when it's raining) They do offer a "breakfast box", but it's full of Kellog's products and long life milk and juice. Buy some stuff at Marks and Spencer and use the micowave for food.
Good bathroom and power shower. TV with internet capability (not tested) Air conditioning and heating worked well.
All in all a change from the usual multinational high rise hotels aroud the area. Highly recommended if you a attending anything in and around Earls Court. The reception/concierege staff were great, and security is good - the hotel door locks down at 11p.m. and you need to prove guest I.D. to get in.

Love the hotel and location! I've ordered a stay of 7 night, single room. The stuff is nice and helps were needed. The room was a bit too small but very clean and cozy. The small kitchen is not to useful - there is no really a place to eat in the room - but I did use the fridge. My disappointment was the lack of wi-fi for my cell phone, and surfing the web through the TV option is very uncomfortable. Location is gr8 - very close to Earl's Court tube station, right on the district' circle and Piccadilly lines (all the way to Heathrow!) Would love to come back again!

Thank you for your review of base2stay and for your kind comments. Although we do have VPN broadband internet in every room, With regards to Wi-Fi, I am sure you will be pleased to hear we have, coincidently, just completed a survey of the hotel with the intention of making Wi-Fi available to all our guests in the coming weeks. We hope to make an announcement on this early in the New Year.

At base2stay, listening and responding to our guests’ suggestions and feedback will always be our priority. Thank you for staying with us and we look forward to welcoming you again very soon.

“Great stay”

2/2 found this review helpful

My 9-year old son and I booked a "bunk" bed room on the main floor.

It was very nice, but extremely small by western standards. Perhaps next time, we'll book a twin room.

The bathroom facilities were excellent.

We paid 97 GBP including VAT.

My only complaint was that you could hear some noise and banging from the room above us.

Overall, I would recommend this hotel for style and cleanliness.
