5 Reasons to use Serviced Apartments
The Top 5 reasons for choosing to stay in a serviced apartment:
Research confirms that the top 5 reasons why business travellers choose serviced apartments in preference to a conventional hotel are: On average a serviced apartment provides up to twice as much space as an equivalent standard of hotel room so whether the choice is a studio apartment or a 4 bedroom house, it offers a separate kitchen, a properly equipped living/working area and bedroom/s. Guests can therefore work remotely very productively. With travel budgets increasingly under pressure, business and leisure travellers Find serviced apartments offer excellent value for money. There will be no ‘hidden extras’ (drinks from the mini-bar, room service charges etc) and wireless internet access is normally included in the price making it easier to keep within budget. Guests staying for longer periods of 7 nights or more will normally benefit from a reduced price/per night. And business travellers often save more money by hosting meetings within their apartment instead of hiring a separate meeting room. Prices start from approximately £60- £80/night for a studio apartment in London; or from approximately £50-£70/night in the rest of the UK.. Guests enjoy the flexibility of being able to choose to eat in from time to time; whether it be employing a chef to host a dinner party in their apartment, or relaxing on their own with a home-cooked meal. Business travellers in particular can spend several weeks or months away from home and appreciate a home-from-home environment offering maximum flexibility and independence. Serviced apartments offer a very high standard of contemporary furnishings and everything you would expect of a hotel room and more: - a fully equipped kitchen (with dishwasher & washer/dryer), - High quality bed linen, towels, and toiletries - First-class home entertainment facilities – Sky TV, DVD, CD and the very latest in-room technology. - Welcome ‘breakfast pack’ for the first 24 hours of the stay. Many are officially quality assessed by VisitBritain and most have a 4 or 5 star quality rating. Generally serviced apartments offer a greater degree of privacy. An apartment block in a major city will on average have anything from 30 to 50 apartments and therefore a maximum of around 100 to 150 people as opposed to a conventional hotel with 100 to 200 bedrooms which, combined with the public areas, probably means around 400 to 500 people in the building at times.
