| Staying at a hotel vs renting an apartment | | Date Added: July 04, 2010 09:11:19 AM |
| One option that is often unnoticed is the possibility of staying in a flat instead of a hotel room. The difference is that a hotel room commonly will have a refrigerator that is generally stocked with high-priced drinks and has no facilities for preparing food and often no facilities for cleaning clothes. Today hotels have a "bar fridge" that is equipped with sensors and is entirely filled with things that you have to pay for, if anything is moved.
A rented flat will ideally have a refrigerator which is completely empty for you to store food. It will have a minimally supplied kitchen where you can cook. Some flats have a washing machine and a dryer, but it is quite common to have communal facilities for doing the washing. Anyway, there will be some alternative for doing the washing which doesn't cost much.
Another considerable difference between rented accommodation and hotel rooms is the layout which is determined to a large degree by the size. A flat may have walls partially or completely dividing it into separate rooms. For instance, some flats for rent may have two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a lounge separated from the rest of the apartment. This enables a tenant to arrange business meetings in the lounge while someone is sleeping in one of the bedrooms. There is a considerable difference between inviting a business partner to the dining area of a rented flat and inviting them to a hotel room.
Flats often are usually a lot more expensive than hotel rooms, because they are much more spacious because of the kitchen area. But by cooking a meal in the kitchen of a flat you can save a great deal of money on restaurants and mini-bar drinks. Another way to save money is to use some inflatable camping beds for 4 people to sleep in a rented flat that is intended for two. Still, landlords try and discourage this by only having enough cutlery for two people and not having extra towels, blankets, etc. On the contrary, hotel rooms frequently have an over-supply of towels and blankets, because it's easier to fully stock every closet than to handle requests from customers in the night.
