A well-located very smart apartment. We were greeted by the host on time. They were very friendly. The apartment is so clean and modern. Powerful shower and comfortable king size bed. The kitchen was well equipped and the aircon was the perfect addition.
The location of the property is incredible. A 2 min walk from the Natural History Museum and 5mins from South Kensington tube. We would not hesitate to book this apartment again. Thank you for the great stay.

Great location and the apartment was well equipped. The only downside was that the elevator was not working so climbing the stairs all the way up to the apartment was a workout especially with luggage. Their teams assistance with carrying up the suitcases was greatly appreciated!!!

Perfect if you’re going to the Natural history museum or any of the other museums nearby. Has three types of coffee makers, pod espresso machine, filter coffee brewer and French press. A bit expensive, but hey, it’s London after all!

Smaller than it looks in pictures, elevator downs work properly so have to walk up and down stairs if you are more than 2 people or has to wait for 10+minutes if can’t take stairs and then 5 minutes to reach upto top level

Fab pent house stay.
The place was perfect for what we needed. Perfect location for museums and we ate in the area too. The communication was easy and promt. The little outside space was super for a little supper at the end of busy days. Free wifi was usful to plan the next days activities. Tube station was close. The whole place was clean and all in working order. Sofa bed was comfy enough. Air con was welcome in august. Lift was slow but worked fine and great for my parents. Thank you. Would stay again.
Overall we had a really great stay at the South Kensington apartments. The unit itself is beautiful and clean. Bathroom is quite tight but did the job, the shower head was unstable and led to a mess every use, a quick toolbox fix could help. Pull out bed was quite stiff, not sure it would be sleepable for more than a few days. A new matttress would make a big difference. Our check-in experience was not smooth and left us outside for ~40 min waiting to check in when in the end it could have been a simple email instruction. I would encouraged the management group to offer self-check in during later hours as it would be very doable. This location is great, on a beautiful quaint street. Felt like a very safe location which is always very important as a traveller. Unfortunately the tube strike was happening during our stay so I can't speak to the convenience that the tube may have offered but even without it, this still felt like a central enough location. I would visit these apartments again.

Arrived late at night for a 4 night stay… apartment 5 that we booked was occupied so we were shown into another apartment and there was water pouring through the ceiling from the apartment upstairs. No other rooms available in this property or their others so had no choice but to stay. Was told their maintenance team knew about the problem but were on vacation! Promised us that night would be refunded.
Promised us the leak would be fixed first thing in the morning. No-one turned up… the water leak had damaged the lights so they weren’t working (it’s v dark in the basement apartment) so I was struggling to work.
The leak then must have tripped the fire alarm because that started going off and the cleaner (only person at the property) couldn’t turn it off.
I’m now trying to work with a fire alarm blaring. Maintenance eventually arrived after lunch after me chasing people many times on the phone. They did not fix the leak, but fixed the fire alarm by ripping it out of the ceiling.
Long story short… leak was not fixed and they moved us to a vacant apartment for our last night, so 3 days/nights with water flowing into the kitchen/towels everywhere/no lights working/little to no communication or help with cleaning up the water.
After a lot of phone calls they eventually agreed to 50% compensation (despite 75% of our nights in a barely habitable apartment) yet this refund still hasn’t been paid a week after leaving. Worst experience I’ve ever had staying anywhere

Binanın konumu çok iyiydi ancak asansörün çalışmaması 3. kattaki odamıza çıkışı zorlaştırdı. Özellikle bavullarla çıkış çok zordu. Mutfakta gerekli her eşya vardı. Ancak temizlikle ilgili sıkıntı vardı. Eskiyen eşyalar değiştirilip temizliğe de biraz daha önem verilirse çok daha iyi olur.

Rommet var rent. Aircondition fungerte dårlig, den er nok ikke rent gjort på noen år. Anbefaler eier å rense filter hver 14 dag. Dynen på ekstra seng var en overmadrass. Veldig lytt med en heis som piper hele natten.
Beliggenheten var helt topp med kort vei til undergrunn og buss transport. Kort vei til matbutikk.
