Serviced Apartments Guide

Most peoples’ first thought when planning a visit to a city, for business or pleasure, is to book a hotel room and resign themselves to spending as little time as possible in their soulless base. Well, resign yourselves no longer because the relatively new concept of serviced apartments has really taken off and they offer far more than a little bottle of shampoo and some meagre tea and coffee making facilities.

The idea behind serviced apartments is a simple one; it’s like having your own flat in a city. Serviced apartments have everything in them that you would kit your own city bolt-hole out with – CD player, TV, DVD player, kitchen, lounge, sofa, toaster, kettle, ironing board, cutlery...you get the idea. You’re given your own key to the serviced accommodation, so you really can treat it just like your own place and come and go as you please, at any hour of the day or night. Couple all that with a prime city centre location and a price that rivals a standard hotel room and you’d need a pretty good reason not to try out serviced apartments on your next city break.

Prices for serviced apartments vary from around £60 per night to well over £100, with the more expensive serviced accommodation giving you such extravagances as en-suite bathrooms, Wi-Fi internet access, Egyptian cotton sheets and anything up to three double bedrooms. The thing that really stands this serviced accommodation out from bog standard hotel rooms, however, is that the price is for the apartment, not per person. So, for example, if there are four of you staying in a two bedroom, luxurious serviced apartment that costs £100 per night, that’s just £25 per person per night. What a Bargain.

There are serviced apartments popping up all around the country now with a choice of prime city centre locations to suit your needs. Whether you’re in town for a quiet weekend theatre break, a frantic credit card-busting shopping spree or a few days of hard clubbing, the luxurious, spacious retreat that serviced apartments offer is a refreshing alternative to the conventional hotel room.
