Serviced apartments are different to your standard apartments or hotel rooms, they are fully furnished self contained apartments with a number of added service options to increase the convenience of your stay. The majority of people who choose to stay within serviced apartments do so purely based on the addition of the services available. The services on offer will range from apartment to apartment but what are the available services that you might be able to expect from a serviced apartment?

Gyms

Some serviced apartments can come with onsite gyms or fitness centres available to their residents. These can contain all the features you would expect from a regular gym including cardio machines, weights and might even have dedicated studios for fitness classes. At some serviced apartments the gyms are for exclusive use by residents only, however there are also locations where the gyms can be open to the public also. In more luxurious serviced apartment buildings there can even be swimming pools available for residents to use.

Housekeeping

Serviced apartments have professional cleaning services available to residents, there is much more flexibility when it comes to serviced apartment housekeeping services than in hotels as residents can request how frequently they would like their accommodation cleaned. Depending on the availability and resources of the housekeeping service, residents could request daily cleans of their rooms. Typically included within the rent will be a set number of housekeeping cleans per month and any additional will be charged as extra.

Laundry services

An additional service sometimes included within serviced apartments is a laundry service. This can again be as minimal or as comprehensive as the resident requires from towels and bed lining to full scale laundry services.

Concierge

Serviced apartments can come with a dedicated concierge service, a concierge can assist with a wide range of duties from booking accommodation, sorting mail, arranging external bookings and making recommendations for business or leisure travel amongst other things. Having a concierge service will also help to maintain good levels of security at the accommodation meaning that residents have one less worry as visitors will be monitored and vetted upon arrival.

Meeting spaces 

Some serviced apartments can come with communal areas that can be used by residents. These are usually available to book for events or work meetings meaning you can take a business call without having to be in your own apartment.

Serviced apartments can come with a whole host of available services, these can be either included within the monthly charges or some may be classed as extra and require additional charges. This is not an extensive list containing all the services that are available so be sure to review serviced apartments yourself to find out the services available.
