The Somerset in Bangkok, Thailand
Posted in HOTEL & RESTO on May 24th, 2011For retirees, families, honeymooners, businessmen and expat on an extended stay in the city of Bangkok, opting to stay in a serviced apartment is more practical and economical. Serviced apartments are multi-level structures comprised of residential apartments such as studio units, one-bedroom units, two or three-bedroom units that are for rent on a long time basis. The minimum allowable reservation is for at least 30 days. However, there are also units that could be rented for a minimum of 1 night but on a higher rent bracket.
Serviced apartments are definitely more practical and cheaper when looking to rent for more than a month. More often than not, the same services and amenities offered in a service apartment are of equal value to that of most hotels with the same rating but for cheaper rental. Rooms are more spacious and private for tourists more so if they are traveling with their family. Renting a serviced apartment is cost-efficient too as one can opt to cook light meals should he chooses to. The swimming pool and gym are open for guests to use, free of charge.
