What is a serviced apartment?

A serviced apartment combines the key comforts of a hotel, with the benefits of the privacy, comfort and convenience of living in your own home, for a similar cost. We provide the convenience of a maid service, fresh towel and linen change and free wireless (Wi-Fi) broadband access, as well as the additional space and facilities you get with an apartment such as a fully equipped kitchen and your own living/dining space.

What does a typical apartment look like?

Apartments do vary depending on the number of bedrooms. Typically all of our apartments have a living space, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. Please take a look at our apartments page for more information about facilities and photos of the apartments. On our tariff page, you'll find more information about each of the different sizes of apartment we offer and the layout of the apartments.

If I stay in a serviced apartment what facilities are available?

Most everything else is included in your apartment. All housewares, linens, sheets and towels, everything for the kitchen, place settings for the dining room - even wine glasses.

When you stay in a SilverSprings serviced apartment you have complete residential experience and you can settle into your apartment and make it your own.

Is there parking available?

Yes, there is on-site parking available and parking for one car/vehicle is included in the price.

What time is Check-In & Check-Out?

Check-in is between 2pm and 10pm on the day of arrival. We ask that guests have vacated the apartment by 10.30am on the day of departure. However, late check-outs and early check-ins may be possible by prior arrangement so let us know when you enquire if this applies.

How and where can I collect my keys?

As there is no reception at SilverSprings, keys for the apartments are held in Key Safes outside the apartments themselves.

A few days before your arrival, we will email you the key safe code and full instructions along with photographs to successfully check yourself in.
