Making sure you are familiar with the check-in and check-out time can come in handy in order to avoid additional charges during your stay. For this reason, relying on airport shuttle services or a pre-booked car service may also help you avoid any delays.

Amenities

Cancellation/Refund policies

Depending on the hotel, cancellation policies may differ. However, opting for bookings through Serviced Apartments could give you access to a more flexible cancellation policy. The standard cancellation terms are often a complete refund 3 months before arrival for yearly contracts, and 10 days prior to arrival for monthly contracts. However, it is beneficial to familiarize yourself with the policies by either contacting the support team or going over the T&C regulations of the hotel.

Safety and Security

Will the apartment/hotel room have a safe? Does the perimeter of the property have ideal security features? Do they follow well-established COVID policies?

The last thing you need is constantly living in a state of worry, consider doing some research before narrowing down on one choice.

Kitchen

Does it come with in-built appliances? Will you have access to basic appliances on arrival such as water, coffee, tea, etc.? Figure out your requirements for the length of your stay, and kitchen items that you would likely have to invest in. If you prefer well-equipped kitchens with access to cutlery, appliances, and basic amenities for longer stays, rental homes are also a great alternative.

Storage

Luggage storage is provided by most hotels, however, if you’re considering staying longer periods of time you may want to check in with the hotel staff and consider where you’ll be storing your luggage.

Although what you find, could range from both ends of the spectrum, going over customer insights could help you get an overview of what you’re dealing with. The positive aspects could also give you a few tips and insights on guest experiences.
