Apartment rentals or hotel accommodation?
For all the seeming variety and diversity of options for temporary residence in a foreign city, in fact all of them come down to two basic rental types: privately owned rental properties and hotel rooms. Let's look at the strengths and weaknesses of each of the types of rental housing.
According to the local specialists, people are increasingly attracted by Poltava apartments for rent lately. First of all, this is the price factor that makes travelers prefer private houses or apartments rather than hotel rooms. You see, notwithstanding the fact that rents for the private apartments and houses have been still tending to increase due to the current economic crisis in the country and to the fact the demand for rental apartments is considerably outgrowing supply however, the cost of renting apartments and houses remains much lower than that of hotel rooms. Thus, a more reasonable price is the first and decisive advantage of their stay in privately owned rental properties.
Another merit to be mentioned can possibly be related to the both housing types. It’s an availability of a parking space as 40 % of the city guests would drive their own cars as assessed, but hotels offer this service for an extra fee. With privately owned rental properties, it would be better for tenants to rent a house with a garage or just with fenced courtyard that they can place their vehicle in, and thus to stop being anxious for its security.
The third advantage concerns those renters who arrive in an unfamiliar city for a long time. In such cases, some agencies have various systems of discounts where rental apartment cost is inversely proportional to the length of stay. The lodgers may sometimes receive a discount up to half the amount.
The fourth benefit. Some clients come as a delegation consisting of 4 or more people, and often want to stay in one room for greater effectiveness. In these cases, there is a spacious apartment with all facilities accommodating up to 7 people with very low rents. To this must be added that privately owned rental properties offer more room, flexibility, amenities, freedom and privacy than a standard hotel room often for less money.
Hence, the fifth advantage of private flats and houses over hotel rooms because the real estate provides guests with an excellent opportunity to feel the warmth and comfort of their home unlike hotel rooms which are invariably make you feel being on business trip and longing for home. For the tenants to really feel at home, the apartments are fully equipped to live and work: comfortable and cozy furniture, all necessary appliances (TV, DVD, telephone, air conditioning, boiler, cooker, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, iron, hair dryer etc.), tableware, high-speed Internet. In short, if the client, for example, likes to cook or catering is too expensive for him, it has all facilities for cooking on his own.
A large number of the apartments and private houses for rent are located in the green parts of Poltava, surrounded by trees, shrubs, flowers, etc., so by renting an apartment in that location the customer can also enjoy the outdoor recreation at the same time. This is one more, the sixth, strength of rental housing.
The seventh reason for renting an apartment and consequently, against the settling down in a hotel is that the latter does not let a person completely relax, not least because all the visitors coming to see any of hotel guests should report to the hotel reception, or even the guests are prohibited to take their visitors in some hotels. If rented an apartment it’s always possible to invite a guest at any mutually acceptable time without “any reporting”! It is worth mentioning that there is also confidentiality i.e. residence of celebrities and other well-known people without any publicity, which hotels with their numerous personnel can not possibly provide for, even if desired. In conclusion, we want to remark that city of Poltava does not differ from any other cities in the arguments in favor of renting an apartment on a per day basis.
Now we shall deal with reasons why people inclined to make use of hotels. If someone drove any of luxury cars of the class such as Aston Martin, Bentley or Porsche, then they would rather book some hotel accommodation as while staying at a hotel the client can be sure about a parking lot and security of his car. Protection generally applies to all personal property and even to health and life of the guests when staying in hotel rooms, i.e. hotels provide absolute security of their customers.
Around-the-clock and full customer service can be surely called the second benefit of hotels. It includes calling for taxi cab or ambulance at any time of day, availability of a night bar or restaurant and daytime cafes or snack bars within the hotel, making use of the first aid kit, mail delivery to the room when received, providing the guests with boiling water, needles, threads, one set of dishes and cutlery, and even details such as a free service for the guests to be waken up at the specific time, etc. There also can be other services such as shops, vending machines, entertainments (a disco, casino, nightclub, gaming arcade, billiards), sightseeing, escort interpreter service, theater, circus, concert tickets for sale, ticket booking for all kinds of transport, vehicle booking based on guests’ applications, bike hire, rent-a-car, flowers purchase and delivery, souvenirs, postcards and other printed materials for sale, public services (repairs and cleaning of shoes, repairs and ironing, dry cleaning and laundry, storage of belongings and valuables, handling and delivery of the luggage to the room, hire of television sets, kitchenware, sporting equipment and other articles of a cultural and social nature, watch repair, household appliances repair, radio equipment repair, hairdresser services, manicure and massage room, beauty salon, sauna, spa, swimming pool, gym, renting of negotiation halls, of conference rooms, business center services in accordance with the requirements of the particular category granted to the hotel. But it can be the feature of no all Poltava hotels.
The third advantage of hotels over apartments is every day change of the bed linen and towels, and every day cleaning. Bed clothes in the apartments are usually changed and their cleaning takes place once a week.
It’s up to you dear readers to decide which option to be selected. So the above question –apartment or hotel? – has been still opened.
