I stayed at this hotel for nearly 2 weeks at the end of May. It seems the hotel is run by French speaking people, but they do try to be friendly and helpful. Every thing is clean and not too much the worse for wear. The hotel is very conveniently located to the Earl's Court tube station and there are several supermarkets within a few blocks.

My room was in the basement, which seems to be the case everywhere for singles, but there was little noise from any of the other rooms or floors. The kitchenette was good for its purpose, although don't count on making any ice in the frige. It would take several days for the water to freeze and they claim to clean out the ice tray after every guest, but the one in my frige looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a very long while.

The free internet is on the TV and a little cumbersome to use, but for a small fee there is a direct hook-up for laptops. The desk was a little small for its multipurpose intention (desk, nightstand, table).

The bathroom was very spacious, but the lighting was a little weird and the layout makes it very difficult to get within more than 2 feet from the mirror. The shower was great - good pressure and plenty of hot water. The power in the room won't work without the key card in its little slot, but at least it keeps you from losing the card.

Infact, the only problem I had was that my key card was consistently inconsistent. I had to have it re-keyed about every other day. I know that they reuse these cards, but I do think that there is a limit on how many times a card can be reused.

My purpose wasn't to spend a lot of time in my room, and everything worked well while I was there. Overall, a good experience and a good location.

Excellent value for price. Beautifully modern, small but so compact and well organized - barely knew there was a good kitchen in that space! central to tubes, close to V and A etc. Will definitely use again - very friendly and helpful personnel, very clean, good ac, not a thing to be negative about.

My son and I stayed here in July of this year. We tried 2 different rooms. One with twin beds and the other being the bunk beds. Both rooms had the same amenities. Given the chance to return to this hotel I would chose to stay my whole time in the bunk bed room. The beds were just as comfortable as the other but the cost would have been less. My son is 16 and had no problem sleeping or climbing to the top bunk. Other than that I would just like to repeat what others have said in relation to the hotel itself. The staff was helpful, hotel was clean and well care for, location was close to the tube and many nice restaurants nearby. Our favorite was Zizi's just by the Earls Court tube and a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Best Italian restaurant I've been to and would definitely return. One suggestion would be that a person should take in the wonderful museums close by and within walking distance. We really enjoyed London and all its charms.

Ater reading all the raves about Base2Stay, we decided to book a few night's stay for part of our month-long visit to England this year. As previous guests have stated, the rooms are equipped with modern, clean decor and amenities, such as air-conditioning, a kitchenette, and luxurious towels and bed-sheets.

Our double room was indeed tiny, and after a few nights, we were glad to be departing for larger digs, as we found the room to be too small to stay in for any duration while awake. There's just one chair, so if two people do want to eat in the room (with the microwave, fridge, etc., it seems guests are encouraged to do so..), then one person must sit on the bed and squeeze into a tiny space by the desk/table.

The location of the hotel is the factor that will keep us from returning. Yes, it's close to the Earl's Court tube station, and a Marks & Spencer mini grocery and a Starbucks, etc., but it isn't really within walking distance of anything besides the retailers on Earls Court Rd. If you enjoy parks, museums, walks with LondonWalks, etc., then you must rely on public transport to get where you want to go. The immediate area around the hotel is residential, so there's nowhere for a hotel guest to be except in their tiny room or in a restaurant/Starbucks on Earl's Court Road! As for the Earls Court tube - it's fine as long as it's up and running. We met with delays and suspension of service more than once at this station, which, by the way, requires users to be really clear about the directions they're heading if wanting to travel on the Circle line. We observed perplexed visitors as well as locals at this station, due to unclear directions. Gloucester Road and South Kensington tube stops became our preferred means of transport on the Circle or District lines.
