Travel Tips

There being about a 50% split between short term stay and long term stay visitors at our serviced apartments which category do you think achieves the most benefit from deciding on serviced accommodation when put side by side with alternative possibilities: renting rooms or booking a hotel?

Short-stay: serviced apartments versus hotels

When you reserve a hotel, everything is simple and provided for you: towels, beds made, your morning meal ready and waiting for you. They are set up ideally for an overnight stay or two. If you’re staying for a few days more, though, you will feel glad of a little more space to swing a cat! You might also like the opportunity to prepare your own supper one evening, or get up to your favourite breakfast in preference to the food that the restaurant lays on. You can also extend yourself out a little more:

• put a couple of bottles of wine (your own choice) in the fridge
• take advantage of the wireless internet
• make the most of TV

The contrast becomes increasingly interesting when you cotton on to the fact that serviced accommodation is generally better value than a comparable hotel, even with the extra space and high quality service available at all locations.

Long term stay: serviced apartments versus renting an apartment or hotels

If staying anywhere more than seven nights, it’s not simply room size that becomes important: the right accommodation will have plenty of storage, not usually provided in a hotel room. Occupying own apartment for the duration of your stay lets you to feel less cooped up. There’s no cramp on your lifestyle time-wise, food-wise or space-wise. You are free to do as you please, enabling you to feel relaxed.

In comparison to renting, serviced apartments uk allow you to bask in luxury as well as letting you feel more as if in your own home than a hotel as the weeks progress. E.g. as well as preparing your own meals you could also be perfectly content to do your own laundry in the washer-driers provided in each high spec kitchen.

The difficulties with renting apartment space are that you generally are restricted to at least a half year let, and you are expected to organise your own services (internet provision and sorting out when your utilities start and stop for example). It is not in the least surprising that for stays of more than a week but less than half a year, serviced accommodation has become the most popular choice for leisure and business visitors to towns and cities throughout the UK and Europe.
