Service Apartments - The new concept for Hotel Rooms

Serviced Apartments are a new genre of accommodation facilities, that had sprung up in the western countries and has now slowly penetrated to various parts of the Globe.  They  came in various sizes and shapes in the Middle East. During the real estate boom in Dubai, Abu Dhabi they reached to the exclusive and explicit levels. It continued in India as well, especially the metropolitan cities such as Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Chennai, Delhi. It is a new age concept in India and gaining  popularity among people, including Goa. These are replacing the need of hotel rooms for a traveler seeking a stay for a longer period, ranging from a week to several months. 

They are suitable for people who travel a lot and have to visit frequently a particular place for various purposes. Corporates, seeking extended stay to their executives prefer service apartments instead of hotels. As hotels might not be suitable for them due to various factors and hence they prefer to stay at Serviced Apartments.

The scope and growth of Serviced Apartments in Goa.

This concept is new in India but has been pretty successful in Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, Kolkata. Goa is no exception. Several flats, bungalows have been converted into service apartments that cater as guest houses for corporates. These type of facilities are useful for the corporate people who have to travel in and out of the city very often, for NRI’s to visit the city at times, for peoplee those who come to the city for medical  treatment and for students who visit the places for research purposes. Tourists, those who plan to stay over a week or so prefer to stay at Service Apartmets. 

 Some of the features offered by these serviced apartments are :-

  Complimentary breakfast.

  Internet connectivity(Broadband, Wi-fi).

  Linen change and housekeeping.

 Vehicle Rental Services.

 Gymnasium, Swimming pools.

 Special Room tariffs for corporate clients for extended stay periods. 

With  all the above facilities, the quality of the services offered is very high and I have observed that most of the clients are satisfied with their accommodation. Particularly, whenever I have a sought the comments from my customers with their experience at Urba Luxury Service Apartments at Porvorim, Goa, they are immensely pleased and happy. I have come across several entrepreneurs who have entered into this venture in Goa, particularly in the coastal belts of Candolim, Calangute, Baga etc.  However, they are unorganized and at a smaller scale. One or two apartments at different locations and in housing complexes. Some have converted their second home into service apartment similar to Mom n Pop shop. None at an independent or stand alone building consisting several Apartments, operated and managed professionally  like ours at Urba Luxury service apartments at  Porvorim.  

Those travelers aware of service apartment concept do look out for these type of accommodations in Goa. More and more people  are preferring service apartment instead of hotels. It is mainly due to various factors like homely atmosphere, spacious rooms, proper security, home cooked food, affordable tariffs and good service. Further, There is no disturbance by outsiders and the residents can come and go according to their wish and need. Clients satisfaction is the utmost priority here!
