London hotel offers boutique style with budget prices

10th August 2007 Print
Base2Stay Hotel, London London’s newest hotel concept, base2stay, has discounted rooms on offer in August. So whether you’re going to see behind the scenes at Buckingham Palace – and include a viewing of the Queen’s wedding dress on what is expected to be its last ever showing - or to visit Madame Tussauds to see the new Harry Potter waxwork, or even visit the world famous Notting Hill Carnival, the base2stay hotel is only minutes away!

Mr Nassar Khalil, General Manager, comments “August is a wonderful month for visitors to London – Londoners themselves are away, the weather is sunny, the theatres and streets are less crowded – what more could you want!”

Famous for its rates at £89 to £189 a night, many people have wondered how base2stay managed to achieve such low rates, when the hotel is in a leafy Kensington, London square.

Well, they don't supply the things you’ll never use.

There’s no gym, there's no minibars, no dining rooms with expensive, pretentious menus - oh, and no charge for room service, because there is no room service. What you want is a spotlessly clean room, the best shower / bath, tea and coffee.

How about a kitchenette? OK. Included! Microwave and fridge, too? OK.

You get a beautifully clean and well designed room, a flat screen TV with internet, music channels and movies.

A room with air con which you control. And windows that open. Fluffy towels, splendid complimentary toiletries.

Everything you’d expect from a top hotel - but, as you may have guessed, without the “top hotel” prices.

Then they made it even better - how about a hotel that encourages you to bring food in from the surrounding supermarkets and restaurants?

A hotel which also has a menu in every room - you order what you fancy and the local restaurants deliver to the hotel.

So, if you want sushi, your partner wants a Chinese and the children fancy a Big Mac – that’s fine!

And if you book for 4 nights or more, you’ll get a full 10% discount off of your 4th and subsequent nights.

That's base2stay, Kensington, London.

A boutique hotel - but at a budget price.
