Post by : favouritehomes
There comes a time in everyone’s lives when a break from humdrum routine is needed….a time away from home to go off on a vacation to relax and rejuvenate. And when planning a vacation, it’s not only the destination that matters but also the place where you will be staying. Serviced apartments make surprisingly great options, more so when you are travelling with the family.
Serviced apartments refer to self-contained, fully-furnished apartments that are usually located in a residential building – perfect homes away from home. This category of apartments has been available for over two decades now and offers great options for long-term or short-term stays.
Facilities
While serviced apartments offer facilities that are similar to traditional hotels, they do provide more space, convenience and greater privacy, just like in your own home. Serviced apartments come with a fully-decked out kitchen or a small kitchenette with basic cooking facilities, so you can save money on meals. You also have a sitting room with one or more private bedrooms. These apartments also offer access to fitness centres, recreational rooms, restaurants, concierge and other services similar to hotels.
Amenities
These apartments also come with a housekeeping service which could be weekly or more frequent as per your needs. Ensuring your comfort, there is also a laundry facility usually provided. You also get a cable connection for the TV as well as Wi-Fi connectivity, electricity and water. Serviced apartments are just like a home, but away from home.
Customized experience
Serviced apartments are known by various names including Corporate Housing and Aparthotels. These types of housings are excellent for travelling executives on longer business trips. It provides greater privacy and a break from the restrictions of hotel routines and timings. This way, they can relax, cook or do whatever they want in their own time.
Cost-effective
The best part is that everything comes together in a package and are included within the rental price so you know exactly what you are getting. They make excellent home-stays for families or large groups travelling together for over a few days. It’s also a great way to host private parties or weddings without breaking the bank balance – as would be the case if you were hosting in a regular hotel.
Spacious
Travelling with kids can get stressful, not to mention sharing a hotel room too. But with a serviced apartment, everyone gets to enjoy their own space and activities.
