With approximately a 50-50 split between short term stay and long term stay guests at our serviced apartments which group do you suppose gets the most benefit from deciding on serviced accommodation when put side by side with other options: letting rooms or booking a hotel?
Short-stay: serviced apartments versus hotels
When you check in to a hotel, your every need is catered for: bath linen, beds prepared, breakfast waiting for you in the morning. They are ideally suited to one or two night stays. If you’re staying for a few days more, on the other hand, you might appreciate a little more room to breathe. You might also like the opportunity to prepare your own supper one evening, or munch your morning toast in peace and quiet in preference to the food that the hotel dining room decides you like. You can also stretch out a bit more:
- eat when you like
- put your stuff in the cupboards
- make the most of TV
The contrast becomes even more attractive when you discover that serviced accommodation is normally priced lower than four star hotels, even taking into account the additional space and complementary services on offer.
Long-stay: serviced apartments vs. rental apartments or hotels
If staying anywhere more than seven nights, it’s not simply square footage that is important: the right accommodation will deliver plentiful storage, not something that hotels are renowned for. Having your own apartment throughout your stay allows you to feel less squashed. There are no restrictions on your lifestyle. You’re able to do things your own way, helping you feel less stressed.
In contrast to renting, serviced apartments uk let you experience luxury as well as letting you feel more as if in your own home than a hotel as the days progress. For example, in addition to doing your own cooking you may also be happy to do your own laundry in the washing and drying machines provided in the kitchen area.
The trouble with renting an apartment are that you generally are restricted to at least a half year let, and you have to arrange all the services yourself (internet provision and sorting out when your utilities start and stop for example). It is not surprising that for stays of between one week and six months, serviced accommodation is now the most favoured option amongst business and leisure travellers.
