Accommodation is the first thing, which comes to our mind when we plan to go for a trip, whether it is for holidays or for business purpose.
We all look for a place, which stands up to the saying “Home away from home” and hence we find several options and select the best after comparing them on various criteria such as facilities, hygiene, location, food, budget, etc.
Earlier, hotel, lounge and guest house were the only types of accommodation available. But, now various other types are also there and amongst these, serviced homes, which are also known as, service or serviced apartments, have gained popularity in recent years. This is due to the various benefits one can avail by staying over there.
That's why in the financial capital of our country, where many businessmen and professionals arrive daily for business deals, meetings, etc., these serve as a world-class place for short and long term stay.
Serviced homes in Mumbai are aimed at fulfilling all the expectations of guests – National and International. They are gradually replacing hotels as the choice of accommodation for people.
As many have still not experienced the stay at service homes, the questions regarding convenience, facilities and budget arise in people's mind and their comparison with hotels is quite obvious.
If you are also one of them, following few points may help you to take a better decision for stay when you visit Mumbai next time.
Space: The living and the sleeping area in these apartments, is more than a standard hotel room, and thus you can enjoy a comfortable stay.
Extras: You cannot expect a kitchen with coffee maker, toaster, and other appliances in the hotel room, while you can easily get them in these apartments. Dishwasher and washing machine are also available. You even have a dining table and dressing table, without congesting space.
Amenities: AC, TV, Newspaper, Magazines, and various other amenities are provided at serviced homes in Mumbai. If you don't want to cook in kitchen, food is also available there.
Facilities: All the facilities, which you usually get in hotels, are available in these apartments, such as laundry services, cab booking, room service, etc.
Hygiene: The housekeeping department works very well and cleans the room and other areas daily.
Specialty: Facilities such as Wi-Fi, conference room, etc. are also available so that businessmen and professionals can carry out their activities efficiently. Therefore, these are also known as executive apartments in Mumbai.
Thus, serviced homes offer peaceful and luxurious stay with the utmost privacy, thereby giving you the feeling of home, which is difficult to experience with hotels.
