Hyde Park Knightsbridge Private Entrance

Fantastic location, clean, and perfect for our stay in London.

Overall the apartment was nice and in a beautiful neighborhood. The kitchen and bathroom were nice and functional and the living room was nice. The only thing we did not like was the narrow staircase down from the street. It's ok if you don't have any mobility problems but if you do it can be difficult at night. We loved the neighborhood and proximity to museums.

The location is excellent in a safe neighborhood really close to Harrods and Sloane street (luxury brand street), near Chelsea for nice shops and pubs. Easy to get groceries, coffee, pastries about a 12 min walk. Tube is a 15 min walk to either Knightsbridge or South Kensington and on the best lines for access to all the usual places visitors want to get to. Ubers & Taxis always available within 2-5 mins. Taxis can go in bus lanes so consider that if going across city. Overall the place is great and as advertised and reviewed. It is closer to a North American Queen size bed than King size. Fans were provided which was important because not a ton of air flow and it did get stuffy when the days were above 20 degrees F. It appeared in the pictures to me to be a newly renovated sort of posh place but it isn’t quite that. It is very nice and spacious but it is tired so initially a little disappointed with that, the smaller bed and creaky floors. However my daughter and I stayed 11 days and once we settled in and figured out how to regularly wash & dry the two towels, one hand towel and one bath mat we were allowed, it was great. Bathroom is really nice and spacious, which is especially rare in Europe so that is a huge plus to this place (toilet doesn’t always fully flush so you need to flush a few times). Multiple large mirrors and desk were handy to put your things, charge devices, put on makeup and blow dry so for a mom & teen daughter it was ideal to have our own spaces.

The apartment is nice but needs a good cleaning. Spots on the carpet and also on the chair to the desk. If the "dryer" cycle does not fully dry the clothing as the host told me, then there needs to be a drying rack provided. Towels never fully dried when washed. Hot water was plentiful for sure! Needs an outdoor light when unlocking the door at night. The host responded quickly.
