Booked this for my family of five in August. Check in was at Four but they stored our bags when we arrived at three. The room was on the top floor which meant using the old elevator (it worked but was a little rickety.)

We had an amazing stay at The Knight Residence by Mansley. The rooms are quiet and rather well-maintained, and the apartment was spacious enough for a family of four. The apartment comes with a washing machine, which is ideal for those who wish to stay longer here.

Living room, dining room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms. It was VERY clean. The location was...

Compounding this, the water temperature in the shower was a constant battle – it was either scalding hot or fr...

We had a great stay at Knight Residence. The apartment was superb. Clean, and really well equipped. Slippers for everyone, lovely toiletries and a great basket full of breakfast items, water, and even milk in the fridge. Fabulous location too. Olivia on Concierge was really great too, very helpful and professional. Will definitely use again.
