Why You Should Rent a Serviced Apartment Rather than a Hotel Room
by Jerome Young
Serviced apartments refer to single or multiple rooms that one can rent for a short duration such as a week. The apartments normally have a variety of services like a fitted kitchen, a working area (desk and chair) as well as bathroom facilities within the rooms. There are many reasons why you should rent a serviced apartment instead of renting a hotel room. This article discusses some of the key reasons.
More Homely Conditions
Serviced apartments aim at providing their customers with "a home away from home" by creating favorable conditions like allowing clients to prepare their own meals in the kitchen and receive or entertain visitors. Thus, you will be more at ease in a serviced apartment as compared to staying in a hotel room since the hotel room will lack the "homely" air that a serviced apartment has.
Your family can stay with you in a serviced apartment without creating any worries about your kids being exposed to anything untoward such as couples making out or drunk patrons making noise. Such scenes can easily happen in hotels but they are very rare in serviced apartments.
Lower Cost
Hotels have large numbers of workers like caterers and cleaners who must be paid from the money paid by people who stay at those hotels. Serviced apartments tend to be cheaper than hotels because there are fewer overheads to pay for so the rate you pay will be much lower than what a hotel will charge you. Thus, it will be cheaper for you to stay in a serviced apartment instead of renting a hotel room for the duration of your stay.
More Privacy
Hotel rooms are frequented by a variety of staff such as those that come to take your laundry or to clean the room. This lowers the degree of privacy that hotel occupants have and many feel inconvenienced by such intrusions. Serviced apartments give you more privacy since you will have the apartment to yourself without anyone barging in several times each day.
The attractions above explain why the demand for serviced apartments has been increasingly steadily in all locations. It is advisable for you to explore the possibility of staying at a serviced apartment instead of staying at a hotel if you stay away from your home for extended periods. You will then realize how much you have been missing while you spent lots of money renting hotel rooms.

About Me
Hello, my name is Colin and this blog is my beginners guide to real estate. I live alone in Sydney, Australia, and for the past 20 years, I have lived in rental accommodation. However, last year, I decided to take the plunge and to invest in my own home. I spend a weekend looking through the ads for different houses and apartments but I soon realised I didn't know what I was doing. Thankfully, my friend put me in touch with a great real estate agent. The agent talked me through the entire process and helped me to find my dream home. I learnt so much that I thought I would create this blog to help others.
