Things To Look For In A Serviced Apartment before Booking – getting value for money when you book an apartment

If you are travelling abroad or to a different city for work or leisure, booking accommodation is a key requirement. Choosing the perfect place to stay can make your trip wonderful. Here are a few important aspects to consider when booking a serviced apartment.

1

Value for money

Whether you are travelling on a budget or have enough money to spend, you must ensure that you get adequate value for the investment that you are making. It is all too common that people end up choosing a place based only on their budget and ending up having a subpar experience. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you evaluate the cost against the services that are offered to you before making a booking. For example, if you are someone who wants a balcony to get some fresh air, make sure that you find a place within your budget that offers this. Similarly, if the internet is critical for your day-to-day work, be very cautious about checking the quality of the network before you make your booking.

2

The location

This is especially important if you're hoping to travel around during your stay. Choosing a place that is close to central transportation hubs like train stations and bus stands will make your life very convenient. In addition, if you are hoping to engage in work while at the apartment, it is also important that it has the facilities to accommodate that. Generally, properties by Discover ASR always have their units set up in prime locations. Another thing to consider is its proximity to coffee shops, markets, and restaurants.

3

Look for special offers

Some serviced apartments offer loyalty programs such as the Ascott Star Rewards Membership Programme. These allow you to return to the property if you are a regular traveller and enjoy benefits in terms of discounts and added services. Therefore, before making a final decision on your accommodation and booking an apartment, check out the special programs on offer.

4

Evaluate the quality of the kitchen

One of the main reasons people opt for apartments over hotels is that they can make it more homely and cosy. Having a kitchen that will allow you to cook a nice home-cooked meal will make the place more comforting. If you enjoy cooking make sure that the apartment has the facilities that will allow you to prepare meals in the ways you want. Additionally, it may also be helpful to double-check on the utensils that are available in the kitchen. This way, you can avoid having to bring too many items with you.

5

A clean and spacious washroom

If you are travelling for work, a clean and spacious washroom that allows you to relax and unwind after a long day of meetings will be much needed. To ensure that you are not disappointed, take the time to specifically inquire about the washroom and the amenities it offers. If you are someone who enjoys long warm baths after work, ensure that you pick an apartment with a bathtub. Similar to the kitchen, make sure that the washroom provides any products, equipment that you need.
