Things to Consider When Choosing Serviced Apartments in Malaysia – Luxury living

More commodious than your average hotel, serviced apartments allow for more flexibility, space and comfort. What exactly should you keep in mind when finalizing a serviced apartment? In this brief guide, you will find a list of things you need to take into account before choosing your serviced apartment.

1

What to look for in a serviced apartment – location

Whether you are travelling for business or looking for a relaxing sojourn, you'll need your serviced apartment to be in a prime location, and in line with global accommodation standards. Always double-check about the location. Do your own research about the attractions and key landmarks close to the location. Find out about your transport options, and check whether the apartment is closely linked to the transport system. And, if you are a business traveller, find out if your key business locations are within easy access of the apartment. If you are looking for a serviced apartment, you can consider Discover ASR, in diverse locations across the world.

2

What to look for in a serviced apartment – Adequate security

Your safety cannot be compromised. The level of security and safety measures they have implemented are two of the most important things you should consider before booking your serviced apartment. Look for features such as CCTV cameras, safes and 24-hour call reception. Whether you are planning to stay long-term or short-term, think about your safety.

What to look for in a serviced apartment – arrangements with local service providers

Your business trip or holiday won't be hassle-free without high standards in all the services you would need. Check whether your prospective serviced apartment provides deals with restaurants, gym/pool memberships.

What to look for in a serviced apartment – facilities

Unlike the average hotel, serviced apartments offer amenities such as well-equipped kitchens, laundromats etc. Check out the kitchen appliances they offer including the fridge, microwave, dishwasher, crockery and cutlery to see if you'll be able to live comfortably for the duration. Don't forget to check even the quality of the bedrooms and mattresses. You can talk to fellow travellers or previous customers to see if their Wi-Fi connection is high speed. Above all, find out if the apartment is spacious enough for you and your family (if you are travelling with them). It is important to have your own comfortable space, with all the amenities intact.

5

What to look for in a serviced apartment – Guest service

The point of a serviced apartment is that you benefit from certain services such as housekeeping and emergency assistance. Ask the Company, if they provide a house contact. You should be able to reach out to your house contact any time of the day.

What to look for in a serviced apartment – reviews and marketing

The best way to determine whether your potential serviced apartment is truly comfortable, secure and allows ready access to key locations is to read customer reviews. At all costs, avoid apartments with a number of bad reviews (barring the odd 'Karen' review). And see if they have used over-edited images. Over-edited images are a huge red flag. Always, look for a trusted brand.
