BASE2STAY

If you find hotels uncomfortable and resent the mini-bar’s taunting price-list, you’d be better placed in one of base2stay’s aparthotels. More micro-homes than hotel rooms (as tiny as or tinier than most hotel rooms, though), each “suite” comes with a kitchenette, free wi-fi, a work station with all kinds of sockets, and up to four beds, whilst charge-free deliveries from local restaurants and a vending machine on the landing means your cash won’t disappear down an ill-advised Mars bar wrapper. Plus you’ll get most of the convenience of hotel style service, including a 24 hour concierge, laundry and maid service, and a handy Kensington address to impress the cabbies with.
