A Home from Home in Windsor, Berkshire – the favourite home of The Queen!
Windsor is only 20 miles from London and Windsor Serviced Apartments are fast gaining popularity with travellers who want a bit more space and independence than your typical hotel room offers. Business travellers really appreciate the potential of an apartment and often think of it as a cost-effective lifestyle choice. The prospect of spending more than five nights in the same hotel room is not one that most business travellers relish. By contrast, staying in a standard rental apartment and having to set up utility bills, Wi-Fi provider, Sky TV and do your own cleaning is equally unappealing.
What are the Options?
Filling the gap between hotel rooms and rented flats are serviced apartments, which are fast becoming a popular alternative to the traditional hotel offering. It is evident from the number of properties available that this is a growing market, but the demand by clients is still relatively small. Long-stay or regular travellers are already seeing the benefits of staying in serviced accommodation.
Statistics show there has been a slight increase in serviced apartment bookings this year compared with last. Part of what drives this increase is awareness that serviced apartments exist.
With the growth of the web and the success of search engines like Google, more and more providers are getting noticed and getting on the lists of relocation companies.
The downside is that may serviced apartment companies require a minimum 30-day stay and will charge for the full term even if the client checks out early.
At Accommodation Windsor Limited we feel that as long as the property is cost-effective, in the right location and can match the clients’ expectations of quality then this should be a successful offering. We offer a minimum one-week stay. The cost of this when compared to a hotel and with two colleagues sharing a two bedroom, two-bathroom apartment could save the company in excess of £1000 per month.
Sample hotel room in Windsor per person: £100 per night x 7 nights = £700
So for two colleagues for one week this is £1400.00
Compare that to a typical two bedroom serviced apartment in Windsor at rates from £700 to £800 per week – your company could be saving more than £1600 per month! It makes sense to look at the options for serviced accommodation in Windsor as an alternative to a hotel.
Windsor has lots of fabulous attractions on it’s doorstep to keep you occupied. Windsor Castle needs no introduction.
