Recent surveys from a number of websites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, have concluded that a higher percentage of people prefer to obtain a private flat to a hotel.
Well, in my opinion, they make the correct decision. Why? Let me explain.
Due to my working experience as a manager in a short lettings company, I have discovered that people are just as satisfied in private flats as in hotels. But, you have a couple more priorities in private flats, compared to those you get in a hotel. They are as follows:
- No one will disturb your privacy (no room service or anything like that to worry about);
- You keep your own set of keys, meaning you can come in and out at any time, without any restrictions;
- You have your own private kitchen, where you can always make your own meal at any time;
- And the main priority is the PRICE. You can seriously save up to 60-70% compare to average London hotel prices!
As you can see above, these are serious reasons for you to choose a private flat rather than a hotel. Especially if you are travelling on a budget, if you’re a student, or you have a short term contract with an employer.
If you are considering staying at a short term flat instead of a hotel upon your next visit to London, then you may look into companies that specialize in short lettings. One of those companies is our company www.shortlet-london.com
