Great stay! Room was clean and staff were kind. The Lion Gate Cafe across the street was convenient and the coffee was good. Would stay again.
Stay was awesome. Apartment was roomy for a family of five. Property manager was super friendly and helpful. Backs up to side of Hampton Court Palace and across the street from Bushy Park, ideal for visiting both locations. Walking distance to their cafe which was lovely as well.

Family stay
Nice location, great access to bushy park and Hampton court. Helpful proprietors.
Perfect for families visiting Hampton Court Palace
Perfect location for Hampton Court Palace and the maze. Beautifully kept, very clean and would highly recommend.
The sofa bed for the kids was high quality, easy to put up, and comfy. All bedding ready to put on.
Excellent location but busy through road from Hampton Court to Kingston during the day, quieter in the evening. On site parking which was important for us.
Superb. Very convenient for Hampton court palace in fact on the doorstep. Quiet. Clean tidy and we'll equipped for our stay. Eating outno problem as plenty around and not too expensive.
Excellent location - very clean, lovely big shower, handy for excellent public transport. Could do with some draws for clothes and coat hooks. Kitchen equipment spartan and microwave and convection hob difficult to understand how to work. Lovely gastro pubs and restaurants other side of bridge and opposite palace main entrance. Ideal base for exploring area. Would recommend as long as not planning to do much cooking.
Just as described, nice apartment in great location for Hampton Court. The manager was easily contactable and very helpful making our stay more enjoyable.
Wonderfully spacious and very conveniently located
We were a family of four in a two bedroom apartment but the sofa bed meant the kids could have their own beds. The hotel was right beside the side gate to Hampton Court Palace gardens and within walking distance of wonderful restaurants. We were able to park the car and access everything on foot.
This well maintained one bedroom apartment with parking was ideal for an overnight stay with a colleague and was more cost effective than two hotel rooms (we used the sofabed facility which was very comfortable). It was good to have parking and the ability to heat up food in the microwave. Would be happy to use it again if were in the area.
Second time staying here. Great location and nice, clean rooms. Two minor problems - the hotel next door that had a very convenient restaurant was closed, so there wasn't a good place to grab a quick bite right near it like there used to be(though it is supposed to reopen later in 2017). ANd the wifi didn't work for about 24 hours while we were there. Otherwise, it was another delightful stay next to the palace.
This is a newly renovated apartment VERY close to Hampton Court Palace. Bus ride to Kingston Upon Thames for shopping, restaurants, etc. Kitchen included everything needed to have simple meals in room (no oven). Didn't seem to have a staff onsite, however as we didn't see anyone the entire time we were there. Wi-fi was definitely a problem and we didn't get strong cell signal, so if connection is important to you, you shouldn't choose to stay here. No air conditioning and limited movement of air (even with skylights and windows open). If weather is hot, you are likely to be awoken by street noise as it is very close to the street.
Lovely little apartment directly outside the gates of Hampton Court Palace. The rooms were high spec and meticulously clean.
There is a pub a few minutes walk away which sells basic put food and tie is around a 10/15 minute walk which has a larger variety of restaurants. We also walked passed the train station which has regular trains into Waterloo.
The only improvements I would make is a more accessible mirror and a tea towel.
Good location for exploring Hampton Court and easy access to central London.
Room was chic and very clean. Having a separate kitchen/living area gives flexibility if you don't want to eat every meal out.
Plenty of (free) parking on site.
