It’s low on frills, but the year-old base2stay kensington still looks good. Guests can expect something between a boutique hotel and an efficiency unit – no public areas (but 24-hour reception) and kitchenettes instead of room service.

If you’re planning on seeing the sights, it’s equidistant from two tubes – just minutes either way.
