Service Apartments – Best Alternative to Hotels for Long stay..

Satish was tensed, and debating his options. His client wanted a team deputed at site in Bangalore for about three weeks… the bottleneck was that the cost of stay in a hotel for a team of five persons seemed to be very high in comparison to the revenue that was supposed to be generated on completion of the project. He had called in his senior officials to discuss the next step, but was looking for the answer himself. His secretary had compiled the tariffs of different hotels in Bangalore for him, and none seemed to suit his needs. He was aimlessly surfing the web, when he stumbled upon a solution that seemed to be tailor-made for his purpose.

Jayanth, the team leader, seemed unsure about staying in a hotel for such a long period. Although he didn’t say directly, he conveyed that hotels offered an impersonal ambience, and the fooding options were not exactly as per the guests’ taste. He was thrilled when Satish gave the suggestion of taking up a Service Apartment.

Service Apartments are gradually becoming popular among corporate houses for short, medium and long duration stays. They offer home-like comfort in fully furnished apartments. A caretaker and a cook is available, who prepares the food for the guests as per their choice. He also looks after the house, shops for the supplies, etc. Facilities for laundry may be available on chargeable basis. Security is also ensured. Some service apartments even have CCTV cameras installed. The facilities vary as per the budget, and number of options and packages are available within different price ranges.

Accommodation comes in various configurations. Studio apartments, which are meant for one or two persons, are most popular. Again, an apartment may be booked in parts or whole. For example, two organizations may take an apartment on rent: the employees share the common facilities like the lounge or dining hall, but have separate rooms of their own.

The organization interacts with the owner of the house and agrees on payment terms. Number of persons, including retired army officials, professors are entering this growing market. Even persons with background of the hospitality industry have initiated service apartments on their own in different cities. They have put together their expertise and create apartments that suit the client’s requirements. All facilities such as microwaves and televisions are available for the comfort and recreation of the inmates. What is more, all this comes at a very reasonable cost when compared to a hotel accommodation.
