If you are going to visit London you obviously need somewhere to stay, and unless you have relatives here you really only have two choices. Some people would think that there is only one answer and that is to stay in a hotel, but you can also book an apartment in London.
If you book a hotel you pretty much know what to expect. You get a hotel room, breakfast and dinner are served in the restaurant within fixed hours, a maid comes in during the morning and makes the bed, there is a minibar, and downstairs there is a large lounge and bar which you share with 100 other people. And that’s it.
However, when you book an apartment in London you will find that the facilities provided can vary considerably. To begin with, apartments come in varying sizes: some can sleep just two people while others may sleep six or even eight. The number of bedrooms will vary and some will have an en-suite bathroom while others may have separate bathroom and toilet facilities. You should get a good sized reception room, and there may be a separate dining room. Certainly, you should get a fully fitted kitchen with a dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer, but there may be a separate utility room. With some apartments in London you may even get a small garden. Whatever the size of the apartment, you should have double the space that you would get in a hotel bedroom.
Some apartments have a considerable number of extra facilities. You may get a maid service, and of course there should be high speed broadband, which in a hotel you may be charged extra for. Some apartments have TV’s in all the rooms and some have access to multiple channels in a variety of languages. Some also come with a full time concierge and on-site security, and in a small number of cases you may even have a parking space. Most will have a music system, and may have things such as an iPad dock or your own personal safe for your valuables.
If you are going to book an apartment in London you really do need to check exactly what is included.
