| Staying at a hotel vs renting an apartment | | Date Added: June 22, 2010 04:16:35 PM |
| One alternative which frequently remains unnoticed is the possibility of staying in a flat instead of a hotel room. The difference is that a hotel room normally will have a fridge that is mostly stocked with overpriced drinks and has no facilities for cooking a meal and frequently no facilities for doing the washing. Modern hotel rooms have a "bar fridge" that is equipped with sensors and is fully filled with things that you have to pay for, if any of them is moved.
A rented flat will ideally have a refrigerator that is completely empty for you to stock foodstuffs. It will have a minimally supplied kitchen where you can cook a meal. Some flats are supplied with a washing machine and a dryer, but it is common to have communal facilities for doing the washing. Anyway, there will be some alternative for doing the washing that does not cost much.
Another considerable difference that is normally seen between rented accommodation and hotels is the layout that is determined to a great extent by the size. A rented flat may have walls partially or completely dividing it into separate rooms. Some rented flats may have two bedrooms, a kitchen area, and a dining area separated from the rest of the apartment. This makes it possible to organise business meetings in the lounge while somebody is sleeping in one of the bedrooms. There is a considerable difference between inviting a business partner to the dining area of a flat and inviting them to a hotel room.
Flats for rent often tend to be more expensive than hotel rooms, since they are more spacious because of the kitchen area. However, by preparing food in the kitchen of a rented flat you can save a great deal on restaurants. One more way to save some money is to use some inflatable camping beds for four tenants to sleep in a flat which is intended for two. However, landlords try and discourage this by only having enough cutlery for two tenants and not having extra towels, blankets, etc. Quite the opposite, hotel rooms frequently provide an extra supply of towels and blankets, as it's easier to just fill every closet with them than to handle requests from customers in the night.
