Sherman's Expert Review

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. The hotel supplies a big restaurant delivery directorymore and there is a Waitrose supermarket nearby. Though you’ll have to dine on your bed in most rooms, creature comforts like air conditioning, broadband, power showers, and flatscreen TVs are found in all. If you’re planning on seeing the sights, it’s equidistant from two tubes – just minutes either way.

"A Hidden Gem!"

Down in Kensington a new concept in hotels has emerged, offering great value by providing "a synthesis" of what guests really need and use -- minus the frills. What you get are stylish, comfortably furnished accommodations with small kitchenettes.... more

My oldest daughter and I used base2stay as our base while visiting my youngest daughter who is studying abroad in London for the semester. We stayed in one of the hotel's bunk bed rooms and found it to be very comfortable. It was so nice to have a... more

"Not in my 20s anymore, but still want to see the world."

Place was perfect for my needs. Pictures posted here by other travels portray the rooms accurately. I had no surprises. I could've stayed in a hostel or lower end B&B and dealt with the small inconveniences for a lower price -- but I didn't have to.... more

I would like to keep it a secret, in fear that it may become too popular and create a different hotel (although, if they stick true to their philosophy, it will remain the same)...which is WONDERFUL!!!! The location is perfect for anyone loving the... more

"Clean, Simple, Friendly and Hip"

We loved this place. My boyfriend, 15-year-old son, and I (middle-aged babe!) were in a lower-floor room with a king bed and a single. Everything had a kind of cheerful, efficient, fresh white feel about it. The beds were very comfy (well, there was... more
