What is a serviced apartment?

Not only is the nightly rate lower for the majority of our serviced apartments than hotel equivalents, we also offer a tax discount on bookings which extend beyond a duration threshold, meaning the nightly rate reduced even further. This makes our apartments ideal for colleagues relocating and in need of Gouda serviced apartments for long term bookings while waiting for permanent accommodation.

Serviced apartments offer a true sense of privacy – away from the busy corridors and small confines of a hotel, these spaces are large enough to make yourself at home in peace. The functionality of multiple areas for sleeping, cooking, entertaining and working means you can truly relax and prepare for each business appointment fully, and on your own schedule.

·         Convenient services. Many of our apartments are set in dedicated buildings which feature a host of services designed to make your life easy and enjoyable. From gyms, swimming pools and cinema rooms to housekeeping and on-site restaurants, all features are optional and often included in the price of your stay.
