New Zealand, May 2008
On leaving this hotel I made another booking for 3 weeks later. When I arrived, my booking had been cancelled, apparently because it had been entered wrongly and someone thought it was a duplication. No apology was offered. I waited 20 minutes to be given a room, which had to be an upgrade because no equivalent rooms were available. It was obvious they were juggling other people's rooms, to give me the minimum upgrade possible, and the duty manager was shaking her head at the prospect of having to upgrade anyone. To cap it all off, late at night I discovered the sheets hadn't been changed as they were obviously dirty. Getting clean sheets took about 30 minutes, and while I did get apologies I didn't like the staff's attitude - I was asked would I also like a clean duvet cover?!

I can't stand chintz, swirly carpets, trouserpresses, & the prospect of dragging myself downstairs at dawn to eat cold toast, weird cereal & rubbery scrambled eggs - all things I usually expect when staying at a UK hotel within my budget. So I was overjoyed with Base2Stay - clean, efficient, stylish & with everything you really need in a hotel: fabulous shower, lots of big fluffy towels, comfortable bed, a "real" hairdryer (not one of those hotel ones fixed to the wall)plus fridge, sink & microwave. Was very impressed that the tea, coffee & sugar in the room was Fairtrade. Hotel is in an excellent location, very close to Earl's Court tube & easy to find, with great pubs & wide choice of restaurants nearby. Room wasn't huge but I don't expect that in central London: it was very well laid out though, & didn't feel cramped. Not especially cheap, but reasonable & really good value for money, comfortable & quiet: we were only in London overnight & wanted to be fairly central. I would absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend Base2Stay to anyone with similar requirements, & would certainly stay there again. Thanks to everyone on this site who recommended it, which was why I booked it in the first place - it was just as good as you said!

Perfect for my needs - solo traveller (mid 50s) in London for business/pleasure. The room was very small but that was fine for me. Although the closet space was too short to hang my winter coat. The kitchen space had everything I needed. Big, modern bathroom. I particularly appreciated the e-mail/internet access through the TV.

Close to Earl's Court station. The room was a little small but otherwise cozy. The bathroom was larger and nicely furnished. Small refrigerator and microwave oven. Sainsbury's (5 minutes aways) has a large selection of items for heating. Negative point is the "High Speed Internet". It did not work well and you cannot connect your computer without paying a 8GBP daily rate.

The room I was given was miniscule - nearly the size of a train compartment - and NOT anything like to rooms illustrated on the website. Be very cautious of this. Call the hotel directly if possible and confirm the quality of your room assignment.

The single rooms are quite adequate and the bathrooms are excellent, the small kitchen too is fine. A very friendly and efficient staff.

The hotel seemed new and clean. The only problem was that the room was really so small.

Great location, right behind the hotel is Earl's Court tube station. For those travelling light you can save on taxi fare. Clean rooms with good amenities. My kids liked it (one year and five year old) and so did my spouse.
