Cheval Residences, Knightsbridge: 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath…read more My London trip was originally for myself and my partner but when a friend of ours decided to join us, it became a difficult and expensive proposition looking for 2 rooms in the same hotel. We err on the side of luxury so we're considering the Lanesborough, Mandarin Oriental and the like but 2 rooms was going to cost a fortune. Then I discovered Cheval by accident on Trip Advisor. Even after looking at the pictures and viewing the floor plans for each of the apartments, I still wasn't sure what to expect. The Cheval Knightsbridge location is interesting because the main office is essentially a small room off a side street about a 3 minute walk to the apartments themselves. We were greeted by a very polite gentleman who ran through the paperwork. We had arrived about 4 hours early and since I had inquired a month earlier, I was not expecting to be allowed early check in. So I was very pleasantly surprised when he called the housekeeper and we were let in immediately. Just down the road and off another alley, the apartment building is 3 levels and unassuming. I had chosen what I thought was a 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment and this was located on the basement level down a flight of stairs. Upon entry, we were taken aback at the sheer size and luxury of our home away from home. The apartment features a large living area with booth seating around a dining room table, a comfortable couch, a fully-stocked kitchen with every gadget you'd have at home (if not more), a television and cute decor that really adds to a homey feeling - including even a cuckoo clock! The second bedroom was across the hall from the living area - spacious with a huge bath and two double beds pushed together for one large bed - you can request for the beds to be separated and you sleep an additional person. Our friend would be so happy. At the end of the hall was the master, a large room with enjoined bathroom, queen sized bed, writing desk and enough closet space for the queen. There was more closet space in the hallway and, Lo and behold, a third bathroom in the laundry room which had a washer and dryer. Upon further investigation of our digs, we discovered the housekeeper had provided the trappings of breakfast - butter, eggs, milk, juice - and tea and Nespresso coffee. What a comfort to have such familiariarities. And the gifts continued in various manifestations every day after the housekeeper left - chocolate, coffee, biscuits, a candle for souvenir, even plastic bags for airport security. After a whirlwind four days in London, our stay with Cheval was truly a highlight of our trip. The comfort and conveniences it offered, the friendliness of the staff and the location in Knightsbridge next to restaurants, shopping and all manner of public transport truly made our trip great. Should you decide to stay with Cheval - Knightsbridge or any other location - I have no doubt you will have as great a stay as I did.

Then it is very easy to make your way around using the underground. We purchased Oyster cards which makes it more so easier. There are also buses which stop around the corner running day and all night , though the night bus terminates in a different location to the day one once in the city. The hotel itself is pretty new and has all the basics. We had small stove , microwave , cutlery etc in ours if one wished to self cater. The staff are friendly and when we did have requests they were dealt with very quickly. We did though experience a problem with a faulty heater control which kept us awake on our first of six night stay which unfortunately could not be fixed at the late hour. So we moved the room that night and the next day they kindly moved our things to a room next to the previous nights one when we were out. Good service. All in all an enjoyable stay though we spent most of the time outside....so really just slept there. Would recommend this hotel to anyone who doesn't mind staying a little out of the centre, in a nice clean place and quiet area.

The one bedroom unit had a full kitchen (stove, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, oven) and all the pots and pans needed to cook a meal. There were 4 each dinner plates, salad plates, cutlery, water glasses, wine glasses and coffee cups. Many outlets throughout the apartment to include some USB charging stations. The one in the kitchen did not work. The heated tower rack did not work. Their maintenance staff changed the fuse but it still did not work. Friendly staff and very clean accommodations.

This hotel is approximately 15 minutes away from Heathrow international airport. The check in was very personable. Easy and quick. Once we arrived in our room, we were very pleased to see how clean the space is and it is very chic! It reminds me of a cute bachelor pad! The aparthotel space was enough for three people. It came with a bedroom, bathroom, living room with a pull out bed and a small kitchen area that is fully equipped with utensils and refrigerator. If we wanted to, we could have cooked. This hotel has a nearby walkable grocery market which was convenient. Also, I recommend eating at the Indian restaurant within the hotel, it is called Takaa Tak. We had an amazing dinner. Worth to check out. Overall, I highly recommend staying at this hotel!

Use this rail to get to Paddington and central London. The surrounding area is kinda sketch compared to central London, but they've got markets with fresh vegetables and fruit down the street if you're trying to cook a quick meal in-room. I stayed here with a friend on the last week of May 2019. ROOM: Pretty compact. The photos make it look bigger, but it's fine for two people. However on our first night we found half a pizza in the fridge. Towels had stains on them and there were blonde hair strands on the bathroom floor and shower walls. The glasses had hard water residue at the bottoms and some knives hadn't been washed. INSPECT YOUR ROOM BEFORE UNPACKING. We had just arrived from a 11hr flight and were too tired to repack. We were reimbursed however. SERVICE: I have to give them credit for their customer service. They always took care of us in person and over the phone if we needed anything. Also you can check in early if you book direct at no charge. The hotel itself has a youthful vibe and fun details. I'd given it 3 stars because they could really improve on cleanliness. But convenience of location and good service was definitely worth another.
