Choosing Furnished Apartments Over Hotel Rooms

Long-term travellers, jet-setting executives, and numerous offshore trainees will tell you about the boredom of staying in a hotel room with a humungous bed, a chair or two, a large TV and other common amenities. If you are among these people, would you enjoy a two-week stay in a different city or country and coming back to your hotel room only to sleep at night?

The tables have turned for the hospitality industry and some of them are now embracing this concept of providing a 'home away from home' kind of atmosphere. Though it is not a new trend, still there are those who have yet to discover the comforts and homey ambiance of a condo- or apartment-type accommodation.

This is perfect for people who are always on the go and working offshore or out-of-town. Trainees and trainers of companies who visit their offshore counterparts owe it to themselves to get at least a homey place to stay. Just imagine the long stressful flight and coming to a hotel room with only the basic amenities that shout 'monotony' for the next couple of days or weeks.

Try to think of those backpackers who can stay anywhere they like – bed and breakfast nooks in villages or local serviced apartments if they are travelling in groups. Aside from the cost-effective shared living space, they get to enjoy a homey and relaxing experience with other backpackers. They can also enjoy whatever they like to eat since the amenities include a kitchen and possibly some basic utensils for cooking. Going to the market and buying a week's worth of meals can also save these guys several hundred dollars if cooking is no problem at all.

If you think you have the time to shop for groceries and other daily necessities and prep them yourselves in a furnished apartment, then this is a good decision.

Besides, who wants to eat out three times a day for a span of one to several weeks while deployed elsewhere? It is best to take advantage of what the local market and stores can offer. Fresh produce, meats, and seafood can be available and you can enjoy them minus the 'tourist price'.

As for vacationers, especially those who love to see one of Australia's cities, holiday apartments Melbourne is the best choice. These apartments are larger and ideal for families and clans who love to travel and enjoy their holidays with the entire family. You can never get the same ambiance and homey feel from a hotel room even if you choose the largest suite. And you can cook for an entire family without spending a fortune on restaurant food each time.

You can travel in style like corporate jet-setters or be as laidback as you want like backpacking vacationers. The important thing here is you can still have a good night's sleep and decent place to stay. It is always nice to feel at home even when you're on a vacation or working on an assignment.
