Nadler Hotel in London Review

On 1 June 2013, the base2stay hotel in London’s Kensington neighbourhood became known as The Nadler Kensington hotel.

The newly refurbished 4-star hotel offers some of the most reasonably priced affordable luxury hotel rooms in London, and the Nadler is a great deal in an expensive city.

The property is a boutique hotel situated in a townhouse in west London. It is located near public transport links like the Earl’s Court tube station, and close to famous museums like the Victoria & Albert and the Natural History Museum. It is also in a great place for sampling some of London’s top restaurants and nightlife in South Kensington and Chelsea.

The hotel’s 67 rooms are decorated in contemporary style and stick to the basics. All rooms feature single, full, twin, queen, king, or bunk beds, some with wardrobes for your clothing and accessories. Rooms also have ensuite bathrooms, desks, and kitchenettes. The hotel’s emphasis on cost effectiveness means that amenities are sparse except for the basics.

The hotel has air conditioning for hot summer days, and free WiFi for all guests. HDTVs also come standard.

Rates at the Nadler Hotel in London start at £107 per night for singles and £129 per night for doubles. If you are travelling throughout the city or country while visiting the UK, the Nadler has sister hotels in London’s Soho neighbourhood and up north in Liverpool.
