What is a serviced apartment?
So-called serviced apartments are functional and furnished to a high standard, comfortably equipped and well-designed, they become a small retreat after exhausting working days. And at the same time, they can be a quiet workplace to prepare for the professional challenges of the next day. Thus, business apartments offer all the essentials you need for your stay: a fully equipped kitchen, a homely atmosphere, a smooth online check-in. As a rule, there are general lounges for guests and laundry rooms. The service is a so-called "limited" service, which is reduced to regular cleaning and linen change. In larger establishments, guest managers are looking after the well-being of the customers. In some cases, other services are also offered, such as bike rental, co-working, fitness facilities. A good mix of cooperation partners complements our offer.
What's the differece to a hotel?
Serviced apartments offer the right balance between hotel and furnished apartment. Anyone who is looking for a long term accommodation and appreciates a sophisticated living environment, but does not want to lack amenities, is perfectly right in a serviced apartment.
