Hotel or apartment: how to choose?
A hotel, so you don't have to think
You arrive, your room is ready, the cleaning's done and breakfast is waiting in the morning. For a short stay, it's the easiest. And if anything goes wrong, there's someone at reception to help.
An apartment, for more space
A real kitchen, more room, everyone has their own corner: great if you're going as a group, a family or for a long stay. Just one thing: check the cleaning fees and what time you can pick up the keys.
What about the budget?
Always compare the total price per person, fees included. You'll see: for a couple going for 3 nights, the hotel often works out just as well.
Our advice
If you're discovering a city for the first time, go for a hotel, it's more reassuring. If you're a group staying 5 nights or more, take a look at apartments too.
