base2stay Kensington Review
This near-budget option in a creamy white Georgian town house offers comfortable double rooms that have a stylish, modern look and tiny kitchenettes—and some even have bunk beds for traveling friends or children. Room service is available, and an "arrival base" system allows you to use a room before your check-in time for £15 an hour. And if you find yourself in need of your own wheels, ask reception to reserve you an eco-friendly electric car for just £4 per hour.
