Apart-hotels and serviced apartments are becoming the norm worldwide, as a result of the increasing popularity of’staycations’. This is largely because these condos offer a wider range of services and a more personal feel.
Over the past 10 to 15 years, serviced apartments have gained a lot of popularity. Apart-hotels are a great alternative to expensive hotels in major cities.
Serviced apartments versus
Below are some differences between a hotel and a serviced apartment.
1. Length of stay
Most hotels, except for all-inclusive ones, are designed for short stays. A serviced apartment is a hotel that can be rented for a longer period of time.
2. Amenities
A hotel offers more amenities than an apartment. A few apartments might have a recreation centre depending on where they are located.
3. Cost
The cost of a hotel or apartment with a serviced kitchen is different. Your stay will determine the price.
4. Living space
Hotels are generally smaller because they are often located in cramped urban areas. Although large, spacious suites are possible, they are generally not available for an extra cost.
5. Privacy
You will have more privacy when you live in a serviced apartment than when you do in a hotel. You will enjoy the same privacy in a serviced apartment as you would in your own home.
6. Kitchen
A hotel may not have a kitchen. In hotels, the ‘kitchenettes’ don’t include all the necessary equipment. All the essential cooking equipment is provided in serviced apartments, including pots, skillets, and dishwashers.
7. Flexibility
The key difference between them is the flexibility of their room spaces. Apartment living allows you to live a more flexible lifestyle.
8. Furniture and equipment
Many hotels offer more than just a bed and a bathroom. The serviced apartments come fully furnished and equipped with all the usual furniture that you would find in a home. A laundrette is also available. You don’t have to worry about visiting a launderette.
