7 reasons why you should choose a serviced apartment
Provides you with the comfort of home
Spacious rooms
The rooms in serviced apartments are larger than those in regular hotels, typically consisting of one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom. The indoor activity space is spacious, and the overall space does not feel crowded, although it still depends on the difference in room types. If you enjoy a spacious living environment, we highly recommend staying in a serviced apartment.
Serviced apartment service
Although serviced apartments differ from regular hotels, they still provide hotel-style services, including assistance with package collection, food delivery, taxi booking, etc., and most of them are available 24/7, providing immediate consultation. If you encounter any problems in the middle of the night, don’t worry about not being able to find someone to help.
Convenient transportation
Serviced apartments mainly serve business people and are usually located in crowded or convenient locations. When you need to socialize or discuss business, you can save time searching for restaurants and arrive at your destination faster.
Good sound insulation
Serviced apartments are usually located in high-end communities to provide tenants with a perfect living environment. Therefore, they mostly do not have separate compartments, and all the walls are made of cement compartments, making the sound insulation effect excellent. You can easily enjoy your life!
Utilities included
Serviced apartment does not require any additional costs, as their rental prices already include all expenses, except for the use of special facilities. However, the rules set by each landlord for general rental housing vary, and communication between both parties often results in discrepancies, leading to subsequent disputes. Choosing a serviced apartment can free you from such problems!
Cleaning service
Serviced apartment provides professional cleaning services, such as changing bed sheets, cleaning bathrooms, and room tidying, as well as regular disinfection of public areas, allowing you to have a clean and comfortable living environment.
