Sometimes you just want a base to lay your head and that's exactly what budget luxury accomodation base2stay offer, right in the heart of London. Ok, so it's not luxury as you know it - there aren't for starters any real facilities to talk of - no spa, no Michelin starred restaurant and no high end boutiques to while away your time in. But that's its beauty and this property really does what it says on the tin!!!
base2stay is a clean, comfortable and relaxed place to stay when all you want is somewhere to dump your bags, grab a cup of tea, have a shower and even cook up a little of your own food before heading out to town! It's one of those places that is ideal for a hen party for example, when a group of you are in town for a night or two but won't be spending any time in the room. And trust me it's a far cry from other budget London accommodation.
From just £91 per night inc VAT for a single or just £199 for a deluxe, which sleeps up to four, making it under £50 per person and with 67 contemporary air-conditioned rooms, base2stay Kensington is setting the trend for stylish, value-led accommodation and has proved such a success that further openings are planned for 2010.
The property is situated in fashionable Kensington, enjoying a central London location and provides value for money with no hidden surprises. With its value proposition that eliminates those irritating hidden extra costs, it is all about putting you in control of your expenditure with no compromise on stylish comfort. The base2stay mantra is “the price you pay at check out is what you thought you’d pay at check in”.
Every room is spotlessly clean, the 24 hour concierge staff are helpful and polite, and the little info pack you get with all the details on how to make the most of your stay is utterly usefull! You can even have midnight snacks delivered to the hotel from any of the nearby takeaways - make that 3am snacks if need be!!! In fact, the property has some exclusive deals with a choice of nearby eateries so you can take advantage of these super discounts - again don't think they are for the best restaurants in London, rather for places where you can get hearty food and eat on the run or irresistable late night feasts! Each room also comes complete with a mini kitchen, free wifi, flat screen TV and movies for rent at just £2, as well as your usual hotel essentials, bathroom products and fresh soft towels (though no gowns or slippers!)
It's also worth noting that not only has base2stay recently been awarded VisitBritain’s 5 Star Gold Award, the highest accolade in their Guest Accommodation – Room Only category, but it is also only the second hotel in central London to have received the prestigious Gold Award under the Green Tourism Business Scheme. This we like!
So in a nutshell, whilst we aren't saying that this is the place to to come if you are after a romantic, luxe or high end weekend, what we are saying is that base2stay is ideal if you need just that, a base, that is clean and comfy and where you won't be disappointed by either the service or the value.
