How to Find a Serviced Apartment in London
- To find a serviced apartment in London, start with your travel dates, number of guests and any must-haves for your trip (e.g lifts, gym etc).
- Then choose the best neighbourhood in London that you would like to stay in. Depending on your reason for travel – short stay, business trip, travelling with family, relocating with a pet, certain neighbourhoods would be better suited to your stay and a local expert like Checkin Apartments can suggest the best options.
- Have a budget for your serviced apartment stay in mind, but don’t make the mistake of choosing a budget based on long term unfurnished rentals or Airbnb style properties as these do not offer bills included, cleaning and 24 hour support.
- There’s a wide choice of serviced accommodation available in London ranging from studios, one, two, three and even four and five bedroom options. Layout, furnishings, amenities and services vary across properties and this will affect the nightly rate.
- Due to different property styles, you may find these within period buildings or modern developments. Sometime traditional properties will lack lift access or have lower ground floor (basement style) flats, due to the nature of the building, so keep this is mind.
Search on our website and filter the results by price, neighbourhood, amenities and services available at the property or by size of the apartment to find a suitable match. Our specialists can help guide you through the search process if you are finding it hard by offering recommendations based on your specific preferences.
