Serviced apartments are fully furnished, self-contained units with separate living, sleeping, and kitchen areas, designed for both short and extended stays. They offer significantly more space and privacy than a standard hotel room, along with home-like amenities including a fully equipped kitchen, in-apartment laundry, and a dedicated living area.

Hotels typically provide daily housekeeping, room service, and on-site facilities such as restaurants and concierge desks. However, rooms are smaller and there is no kitchen. Serviced apartments usually include weekly rather than daily housekeeping, but guests benefit from more space and the ability to self-cater - often at a lower cost per night for stays of a week or more.
