We just returned from a 2 week trip that included stays in several European cities. Although we paid CONSIDERABLY more for supposedly superior 4 star hotels in at least two of our other destinations, we felt the Base2Stay clearly outshone the competition in price , location , room cleanliness and bathroom quality. The kitchenette was an added bonus. If only Base2Stay could expand into some other European countries, I'd never have to research where to stay in Europe again! Keep up the great work B2S!

4/4 found this review helpful

Decided to stay here at the last minute (GBP 147 for twin/double) - we were not disappointed - while the room was small (which rooms in London aren't) it meet our needs with faclities to have food in the room to save a few bucks. The service received from the front desk was the best I've ever had - every question was answered with a smile and when they didn't know it - they looked it up and called back - that's service. It had a great big screen TV which included free access to the internet (provided you used the remote or the keyboard (no mouse) in the room) - that was a bonus once one learned how to nagigate without a mouse (you can use your laptop too but there was a charge for that) -they said they only charged a small fee for local calls but I don't remember any fees and we used it alot. The area of Earls Court is nice - stayed there on other occasions and have always felt safe and there are lots of people around the main street - this hotel is 5 minute walk from the tube and trust me - 2 women with 3 weeks of France/London under our belt - it was nice that it was only the 1 block!!!! There is a lift in the event one needs it (it was a bonus with the luggage) I have pictures which I will post as soon as I get them uploaded. While there are less expensive hotels nearby - but if your looking for a more modern, updated, clean, well taken care of, fridge, mirowave, sink, dishes etc and great service - then stay here - you won't be disappointed.

Base2Stay was a great place for my son and myself to say while I was working nearby for a week. it was well-equipped, clean and nicely furnished. plus it is easily accessible to the city and staff were friendly. We loved the shower - it was by far the best we had in over a month of travelling!

3/3 found this review helpful

I stayed here with a colleague for a week while on a business trip. The location was perfect (only a 2 minute walk to Earls Court tube) and really safe and quiet but with plenty of amenities near by. The room was small but reasonable for london. The furnishings were modern and the hotel was well presented. The free internet available on the tv took a while to get used to but was great for checking internet banking and other simple tasks. The plug in internet was faster but more expensive. Wireless is not available but would be a great addition. The kitchenette was great for our usually rushed DIY breakfasts. Cleaning was immaculate. Staff were fantastic and very helpful even with unusual requests such as for bandaids and stamps! Overall, this was a perfect base and I will definately stay again as it was great value for money.

“Best Kept Secret !!!”

3/3 found this review helpful

Great modern & chic hotel with excellent location (2 mins from Earl's Court Tube, with lots of restaurants around). Super friendly staff. Staff went out of their way to make sure they answer your questions. The room was very very clean. Great facility inside the room....flat screen TV, high-tech bathroom, and also include a very equiped kitchen. The hotel is very energy-saving friendly, which is a total plus+++

The only suggestion I have is that it will be EVEN better if there is free wireless Internet.
