If you’re looking for serviced apartments as an alternative to hotels in London, check out Claverley Court Apartments in Knightsbridge. Located in a very nice neighbourhood (Knightsbridge, Kensington, and Chelsea) and they’re five minutes walk from Harrod’s and Little Waitrose (small convenient store). A lot to do in this area from shopping, fine dining, cafes, beauty salons, and more! Nespresson shop is like 2-minutes away <3
إذا تدورون على شقق مفروشة في لندن كبديل للفنادق ممكن كاقتراح مني و عن تجربة شخصية تشوفون شقق كلافرلي كورت في نايتسبيدج. المنطقة منتعشة بالأسواق و المطاعم و الكافيهات و الصالونات و 5 دقايق مشي من هارودز
They offer 5-Stars accommodations for sudios, 1Bed, 2Bed, and 3Bed apartments. Their prices are fairly good when compared with other serviced apartments. They offer daily room service, free WiFi, 24hours reception, and the apartment I stayed in was fully equipped with washer/dryer, kitchen, appliances, microwave, oven… etc!
يقدمون لكم خدمات 5 نجوم بس على نظام شقق مجهزة منها الاستوديو و شقق بغرفة أو غرفتين أو ثلاث غرف. من ناحية الأسعار أنا شفتها مناسبة و خاصة مع الخدمات المقدمة من تنظيف الغرف يوميا و الواي فاي و مكتب استقبال يشتغل 24 ساعة. و الشقة اللي قعدت فيها كانت مجهزة بغسالة و نشافة و مطبخ كامل
The entrance area: the livingroom and kitchen to your right, barhroom in front, and the bedroom to your left
عند المدخل منطقة صغيرة تقسم الشقة فتكون المعيشة و المطبخ عاليمين و غرفة النوم عاليسار و الحمام و انتم بكرامة بالويه
Taking you on a mini virtual tour in the apartment. This is the lounge/dining area fitted with a flat-screen TV, a DVD player, and music system
ناخذكم بجولة الكتروية سريعة… الصالة أو اللاونج أو المعيشة… فيها تلفزيون بقنوات كيبل و دي في دي و نظام موسيقا. و فيها طاولة طعام
The kitchen… as I explained, was fully equipped. Cutlery, tableware, you name it. Features also included a microwave, oven, fridge, dishwasher and washer/dryer. My nephew, Saleh, cooked for us one night. If you’ve been following my Snapchat we were shopping in the area, then went to Little Waitrose for groceries, because he wanted to cook Chinese chicken noodles for dinner! It was such a fun night.
المطبخ مثل ما قلت لكم مجهز بالكامل من أواني (مواعين) و أدوات و مايكرويف و فرن و ثلاجة و جلاية لغسل الأواني. و فيه بعد غسالة و نشافة للملابس. ولد اختي صالح يدرس في بريطانيا و إذا كنتوا متابعيني وقتها على سناب جات أكيد شفتوا يومياتنا هناك. تسوقنا و رحنا بقالة ويتروز و شرينا عدة الطبخ لأن صالح كان بيسوي لي نودلز عالطريقة الصينية
Moving on to the bathroom. The toiletries were by BVLGARI
المهم نكمل الجولة إلى الحمام و انتم بكرامة. كان مجهز بمستحضرات بولغاري
As you can see from the pictures; sink, toiletries, toilet, bidet, towels, heated towel rack, and bathtub
مثل ما تشوفون بالصور مغسلة و بدي كامل و منشر مدفأ للفوط و بانيو
Now to the other side of the apartment… the bedroom. It came with wardrobes, a TV, and king-sized bed that can be split into twins
الجهة الثانية هي غرفة النوم… فيها دولاب للملابس مع تلفزيون و سرير بحجم كبير ممكن ينقسم لسريرين
All in all, the place is nice and clean, with a very friendly and helpful staff members (specially Sara). It is secured and with 24Hrs reception. I’d stay there again for sure and recommend it to others… but here are few of the things that I didn’t like much:
My apartment was located on the lower ground floor (although I requested a higher floor when I booked). So the phone reception was very very week! I’d connect to their WiFi but the problem is with making and receiving phone calls.
This area (Knightsbridge) is full of Arabs and GCC Nationals, and some shops there want to take advantage of you assuming you are a “paying customer with loads of cash”! They start with “Salam Alaykum” and are so presistent. I usually walk and mind my own business and ignore many of that.
Also, to get there with London Taxi (the black cab) shouldn’t be a problem, but with Uber drivers (who are -in my opinion- are less experienced when compared to the black cab) it takes them a while to figure out the turn… unless you’re giving them directions and which turn to take!
So mainly the things I don’t like (aside from my mobile phone reception) are related to the area and not the apartments. You will also have to check with the parking availability. I personally didn’t need it, but I don’t believe they offer it.
I booked for it via bookings.com for five nights for GBP1,555.95. I was sent the confirmation along with accommodation details, a travel guide, weather forecast (what to expect), and a guide to popular attractions in the area.
