When you mention the word London to people it conjures up images of Buckingham Palace, black cabs and red phone boxes. If you’ve spent any time in the city however, the capital’s name will probably also conjure up reminders of the extortionate rates that hotels charge for their London city accommodation. If you want a hotel room in central London that’s anything beyond basic, you’re going to have to fork out sums in the region of at least a couple of hundred pounds a night.
That’s why more and more visitors to London are choosing to forsake hotel rooms and take advantage of the many benefits that renting a serviced apartment can offer. Not only do serviced apartments offer much better value for money (on average you get around three to five times more living space than you would do in a similarly priced hotel room) but if you’re travelling in a group then the savings you can make over the course of even a short stay can run into thousands of pounds.
When you book an apartment you’re booking the whole space, so unlike hotels who usually operate a policy of allowing a maximum of two people per room, in an apartment you can house more people yet still pay the same overall price. If you’re planning a longer stay in the city the news gets even better, as the longer you book an apartment for the smaller the price you pay each night becomes.
You can also save a lot of money on other costs too, because things like utilities and wi-fi rates are already included in your nightly rate, and having your own kitchen means that if you like to cook you can save large sums of money by eating in rather than splashing out in restaurants.
The quality of life available in serviced apartments is also far superior to that offered in hotels. When you rent a serviced apartment you’re free to come and go as you please and entertain who you want, when you want. There are also no hoards of guests buzzing around the place and waking you up in the morning and no staff knocking on your door at all hours of the day.
Because there is such a wide variety of London city accommodation available, whether you’re visiting the area for business or pleasure, you’re pretty much certain you’ll be able to find an apartment that suits your needs in an area you want to be based.
