Congratulations! You have finished your exams and July will see you Graduate in manchester. What a fantastic achievement and one that your family and friends will be so proud of. All that hard work, or was it just hard drinking, has paid off. So, you are heading back to manchester for a couple of nights with your family to show them your old haunts before having a photograph taken that will haunt you for years to come!

Hold on, you need somewhere for you and the family to stay in Manchester don’t you? A hotel in Manchester might be the best option for your visit but if there are 4 or 5 of you, it might mean that you end up having to book 3 hotel rooms and that could work out expensive, especially if you are staying in Manchester for 2 or 3 nights. 

Have you considered booking a serviced apartment in manchester city centre instead of booking those hotel rooms? Many of the apartments in Manchester that can be booked with Serviced City Pads  have 2 bedrooms, but can sleep 5 people (or more). This really helps bring the cost of the trip down and means that you have a central space where you can relax and enjoy time as a family. You can’t do that in a hotel. If the family congregate in 1 of those hotel rooms, it will mean at least 3 of you perched on the edge of a bed and the other 2 cramped in a small sofa. Serviced Apartments in Manchester have a spacious living and dining area. You won’t feel pressured to always leave your accommodation behind and meet up elsewhere. There will be ebough dressing up for the day of your graduation. You will also need some time to chill out and enjoy your Manchester visit.

To book a serviced apartment in manchester please call 0844 335 8866. We have a wide range of apartments to rent acoss central manchester that will suit small or large families, or even if you are coming to Manchester on your own – a studio apartment is stil more spacious and will make for a more cost effective trip than booking a hotel in Manchester.

When searching for accommodation, many travellers focus on the style of the accommodation on offer and the price. Whilst style and cost are of great importance and most of us want somewhere comfortable and affordable to stay, there is another factor which is often not considered. What is often not an issue for consideration during an accommodation search is how quiet and relaxing the accommodation will be.

Edinburgh Airport is a busy and buzzing airport with numerous flights departing and arriving every day. A lot of these passengers require somewhere to stay near the airport and there is a selection of accommodation choice available. There are hotels at Edinburgh Airport and some of these offer style and some of these offer affordability. However, what these hotels struggle to provide is a quiet and relaxing environment.

Hotels are busy and noisy. Numerous guests all sharing communal areas, loud footsteps in the hallways, the banging of heavy wooden doors in the middle of the night and the constant hum of chatter and clanging of cutlery in the restaurants make hotels a noisy accommodation choice.

However, if you are looking for accommodation, hotels at Edinburgh Airport are not all that is available in this area. Serviced apartments can be the perfect choice for those guests looking for somewhere stylish and affordable but also quiet and relaxing too.

At Serviced City Pads, our serviced apartments near Edinburgh Airport offer privacy and luxury at an affordable cost. Ensure you have a great stay and a refreshing rest by staying in one of our luxury serviced apartments.

Bristol is a city with a lot to offer. Within the city there are many thriving businesses and many corporate travellers are often required to visit the city on business. These guests in Bristol require luxurious accommodation and sometimes hotels just do not offer the space, comfort and luxury that many would prefer.

However, if looking for corporate accommodation in Bristol, hotels are not your only option. Luxury serviced apartments provide the ideal alternative to a hotel and can often be a more affordable accommodation option too.

Serviced apartments in Bristol are a self-catering option and provide guests with a spacious apartment of their own where they can eat, work, unwind and sleep whenever they like. Many hotels do not offer relaxing places to unwind after a hard day and only provide a small and basic hotel room. This kind of accommodation can make a business trip dull and depressing but this is definitely not the attitude of those staying in a luxury apartment. Those who choose serviced apartments in Bristol have a comfortable and enjoyable stay in a luxurious and peaceful environment.

We at Serviced City Pads have a selection of serviced apartments perfect for corporate accommodation in Bristol. We know what guests are looking for from high quality accommodation and have developed our apartments carefully so we can give it to them. Tastefully furnished and fitted with everything you may need, our apartments provide an excellent haven just for you when staying in Bristol on business.

When anyone thinks of taking a short city break or staying away from home for a while such as working away, it is automatically presumed that a hotel will be the better option both in terms of cost and availability. An apartment can actually work out much cheaper than a hotel, especially if you are staying for any length of time. You will also find that serviced apartments are widely available in all the large cities in the United Kingdom.

Many hotels don’t have the essential comforts that you require when you are away from home such as a wide screen television and DVD player. An apartment has all these home comforts which are especially good for families who are trying to travel light. Serviced apartments in London offer much more space than a hotel, especially for a family who would be struggling to fit into a hotel room with all the beds in the same room. Hotels in London are notorious for being small and this is not suitable for anyone who likes their privacy.

For someone who is working away an apartment offers the convenience of being able to dine at home as serviced apartments in Birmingham, London and other cities have fully equipped kitchens where you can prepare either a meal or a snack. Here at Serviced City Pads we offer space, style and luxurious surroundings in peaceful locations that are still close to all amenities and transport for your convenience. With a widescreen television, DVD player and Internet connection you will have all the modern comforts of home.

At Serviced City Pads, we have noticed over the last 2.5 years a growth in the requirement for what Martin Holt, the Sales Director at Serviced City Pads has termed Intermediate stays (estate agents in London have started to call them Short Lets). These are stays of between 6 weeks and 6 months, it may be for a group of project workers working away from home or a team of consultants staying in another city. Short stay corporate accommodation requirements: often business people working away for a night or so who either want to stay in a serviced apartment or a hotel who are happy to spend £100 per night. They may be in London for a couple of nights a week and then head back home or back to their office. In this case the apartments are fully serviced – usually once or twice a week – with linen and towels changed and the serviced apartment cleaned throughout.

The Intermediate stays that are required are normally required at prices lower than those offered by serviced apartment operators. However, the project team don’t want the hassle of on AST. A 6-12 month AST can, on the face of it be a very reasonably priced option but it is not a flexible option for the corporate client who will not want the hassle of setting up standing orders for electricity bills, telephones, broadband accounts and council tax. On the other hand, if they are going to stay in an apartment for 3 months then they are often happy enough to do their own cleaning and servicing.

This is where an Intermediate stay comes into it’s own. Intermediate stay apartments London are often provided to the market not by serviced apartment operators but by city centre letting agents or property developers. In this instance all bills for the property are covered within the rent. This is a turn key accommodation in London solution, effectively a serviced apartment without the servicing element. The prices that can be offered to the corporate client make the stay much more affordable and the client can retain the flexibility of not being tied to a 12 month contract. Bookings are usually made by the month with each month paid in advance. These fees are generally not refundable but include all bills such as wi-fo, electricity and water. Apartments for Intermediate stays are fully furnished to the same standards as you would expect hotels and serviced apartments in London and across the UK. 

Serviced City Pads now has a number of corporate clients who are making requests for these intermediate stays and would like to speak to more companies who have similar accommodation requirements.

At the same time, Serviced City Pads is keen to speak with more city centre letting agents across the UK to discuss how we can help provide better returns on their properties.  

If you are interested to learn more about Serviced City Pads and Intermediate stays in city centre apartments then call 0844 335 8866 and we will be delighted to discuss with you.

The first option for many people who are working away from home on business is a hotel, which will usually only offer one room and a bathroom for you to live in whether it is for a few days or a few weeks. This can prove to be intolerable if you are used to the space of a whole house. A hotel is often considered to be the cheaper option with companies wishing to keep essential costs as low as possible. For a long term contract a hotel can work out extremely expensive as well as the fact that you are forced to dine out for all your meals which is another large expense.

In large cities such as Birmingham or London you will find that the hotels are actually quite expensive, especially in the summer. An apartment is the preferred alternative, providing much more space and comfort as well as flexibility if you are working away from home. Anyone who is expected to work in the evenings will benefit from the peaceful surroundings and the space to work in a separate room. As you will also have a kitchen in the serviced apartments in London or other city, you will be able to economise on the cost of eating out by preparing meals in the apartment.

Here at Serviced City Pads we have serviced apartments in London, Birmingham and many other cities around the United Kingdom offering a lower cost option for many companies and their employees who are trying to economise.

What’s that you say, you always stay in a hotel when you visit London? London does have a vast selection of styles of hotels as well as a variety of budgets. If I was planning to stay in London for a night (or maybe 2) and I was on my own, then I would probably want to book a central London hotel for my trip. However, if my stay was any longer than a couple of days, and let’s say I was having a holiday in London for a week or more with my family, then I would definitely choose to stay in a London serviced apartment.

London is a brilliant place to visit and there is more than enough to do to fill a weeks worth of sightseeing – the London Eye for views across the Capital; Bon Street for finding the fanciest of designer threads, Camden Town on Sunday morning to search out that perfect piece for your home – or maybe you just want to get your body pierced – or you might want to go and see the pomp and splendour of Buckingham Palace. You might even catch a glimpse of the Queen herself. Many visitors for the United States of America hope to. London is also a tremendous city for it’s large spacious parks. Take the kids for a picnic on Hyde Park, or admire the swans on Regents Park. There are others to choose from, where you can escape the hustle and bustle of one of the busiest cities in the world.

But ask yourself this: Do you really want to get back to the confines of staying in a London hotel room? I would much prefer after a tiring day seeing all the sights that London has to offer, to get back to a spacious serviced apartment – one that can accommodate all of the family; one that is equipped with a modern kitchen; dining area where we can eat as a family – without the formality and cost of a hotel; a London apartment that we can all chillout in front of the TV and watch our favourite DVD….sounds good eh?

Serviced Apartments offer a very different (and I would say complimentary) experience than staying in a hotel in London. There is room for both types of accommodation and where a hotel is probably preferable for the shortest of stays, a serviced apartment really comes into it’s own when you need a bit of space, comfort and the feeling of home. Stay in a hotel room for a week and the chances are you will go stir crazy by the end of it, the kids certainly will. If you have a 2 bedroom London apartment then you don’t have to worry about the children being in a locked room down the corridor.

So it sounds great, staying in a London serviced apartment, doesn’t it? But surely there must be a catch? Well, no there isn’t. You will find the apartment option to be great value: a 2 bedroom serviced apartment will generally work out much cheaper than having to reserve 2 hotel rooms; and there is a great selection of apartments to ensure that you can stay in the location of your choice, wherever that may be across Central London.

Serviced City Pads, is a professional booking company for serviced apartments across many UK cities, including London, so why don’t you give them a call on 0844 335 8866 and they will be delighted to find you the perfect serviced apartment for your London city break with your family.

There are flights to a number of impressive destinations currently available from Bristol Airport. Whether travelling within the UK, Europe or the rest of the world, Bristol Airport can cater to your needs.

Within the vicinity of any of the major airports there are always hotels to offer travellers somewhere close to the airport to relax and rest. Bristol Airport hotels are available and are a popular choice. However, these hotels also have a number of disadvantages which put some potential guests off and leave them feeling like they can’t stay near the airport of their choice.

A common issue with hotels like those at Bristol Airport is that they offer basic accommodation at an expensive price. Hotels located near airports are a necessity for some and so can charge high rates for their accommodation. Another common problem is that these hotels are often very crowded and noisy. If travelling, you need somewhere quiet and relaxing to spend your time and unfortunately a number of hotels just do not offer this. The result is many are now reluctant to stay in airport hotels.

However, this does not mean they can’t stay near the airport. Bristol Airport hotels are not the only type of accommodation available. Serviced apartments near Bristol airport are also available and offer great value for money.

At Serviced City Pads, our serviced apartments are private, spacious, quiet and luxuriously furnished to create a warm and inviting environment. Our apartments are also available for most budgets so are the perfect solution to your Bristol Airport accommodation needs.

There are many reasons for being away from home such as being on holiday or working away for a while, but your requirements for accommodation will remain the same whatever the purpose of your visit. Essentially you will consider the cost of the accommodation, the location and the comfort provided. Many people automatically think that a hotel is the cheaper option but in many cases an apartment works out much cheaper. If you are on holiday with the family in a busy city such as Liverpool the hotels in Liverpool will charge much more for a family room than if you were to select an apartment.

A hotel room also has other negative impacts such as a lack of space and privacy which is essential for most families. It is often the case that a family decides to book a cramped room in one of the hotels in Liverpool thinking that you will only be in the room to sleep, as you will be sightseeing all day. The reality is often different, especially if the weather is bad or if one of the family is feeling ill, you may need to spend some time in the room.

Here at Serviced City Pads we have many apartments that are suitable for a family or large party of people sharing, all with stylish interiors and plenty of space offering the chance for a little privacy. Your dining options will enjoy greater flexibility too as all our apartments enjoy a fully equipped kitchen with dining space.

Glasgow is a booming city with many thriving businesses. It is often a destination for corporate trips and can be an enjoyable city to visit even when away on business. For those who are travelling to Glasgow on business, high quality accommodation is required.

Glasgow hotels can be the obvious choice when looking for somewhere to stay but hotels do not always offer the best quality and value at the best price. If affordable hotels are chosen, the standards of it may be rather basic. Small hotel rooms, basic facilities and busy communal areas are often complaints heard from corporate guests.

When travelling away on business, it is important to find somewhere comfortable and spacious where you can relax and spend your time. Being stuck in a small and noisy hotel room can be quite depressing and can make it challenging to both work and sleep. It is often the case when away on a corporate trip that a few of those away wish to get together to plan or just to unwind. In a hotel, this can be difficult because there is always so much going on and because space is restricted.

The solution to these problems are serviced apartments. A serviced apartment provides the perfect corporate accommodation in Glasgow. These apartments are spacious, fully-furnished and are ready for the wants and needs of all guests.

At Serviced City Pads, we know our luxury serviced apartments offer the highest standard of corporate accommodation in Glasgow whilst still remaining affordable. Our apartments are the ideal accommodation solution.
