In the grand scheme of things, extended-stay hotels and serviced accommodation are a relatively new concept in the hospitality industry, yet is one that is gaining traction fast as more and more people learn of its benefits.
The growing popularity of long-stay accommodation options is due to the many perks combined with its affordability, enabling travellers to comfortably book trips of 30 days or more without worrying about racking up an enormous bill or having to commit to a lease.
Our previous blog, “Short-term Serviced Accommodation vs a Private Annual Rental in Dubai” covers the major benefits that long-stay serviced accommodation provides. Today’s blog, on the other hand, will detail the lesser-known or overlooked perks that come with choosing to stay in short-term serviced accommodation or hotels for 30 days or more.
Where most rental homes are unfurnished, the majority of serviced apartments and hotels come fully furnished – and we’re not talking about the bare minimum bed, sofa and TV that comes in a standard hotel room.
Long stay accommodation is purposefully furnished in a way that makes it comfortable, warm and inviting to all that stay in it. From all the necessary kitchen appliances in the kitchenette to a study table for work purposes, these residences are designed to be a home away from home for the duration of your stay.
Many online booking websites, like Thirty Sleeps, offer many attractive deals when you book long stay accommodation for longer periods. For instance, when booking through Thirty Sleeps, you’ll get rewarded for your stay. Our Rewards Partners, like Amazon Credit, ADV+, VoucherSkout and Emaar Gift Card, offer a variety of monthly lifestyle rewards, ongoing discounts and benefits at restaurants, eateries and retail stores, as well as access to exclusive beach clubs, gyms, spas and entertainment spots.

Access to hotel-like services
Room service and concierge services are two unbeatable perks that you have access to when staying at a hotel. However, traditional hotel rooms don’t make for a great home base when staying in Dubai for months on end. Fortunately, serviced apartments and hotels come with all the services you’d expect when taking a vacation.
Although you can comfortably live in Dubai without ever owning a car, why would you want to? Renting a car for the duration of your stay is a great way to get around the city without having to abide by the various schedules of public transport. And the best part is that when booking into a long stay apartment, you won’t have to worry about parking, as you’ll have a dedicated free space for the duration of your visit.

All utilities are included
If choosing to lease a place for your long stay in Dubai, you’ll need to pay a monthly utility bill for water and electricity that serves as an extra expense in addition to your rent. When booking into serviced accommodation, however, all utilities will be included in your bill – which means no surprise extra costs at the end of each month.
Whether needed for work or leisure, an internet connection has become a necessity in the modern age. What once was a want has now turned into a need to go about daily life. But it’s just one more cost added to the endless list of expenses we seem to have – especially when you choose to lease an apartment. Luckily, serviced accommodation offers free WiFi for the duration of your stay.
Access to swimming pools, gyms, spas and even on-site restaurants are the reasons people love staying at hotels. Serviced accommodation offers the same leisure amenities and facilities that luxury hotels do to give you the best of both worlds.

All maintenance issues are dealt with immediately
One of the most annoying aspects of leasing a private rental is the delayed time between reporting a maintenance issue and some actually coming down to fix the problem. Serviced accommodation operates the same way hotels do, meaning that maintenance issues are dealt with almost immediately – ridding you of any inconvenience.
Serviced apartments and hotels offer a better security system than private rentals. This means you can rest easy for the duration of your stay knowing that you, your loved ones and your valuables will be safe and secure throughout.
Book. Sleep. Reward. Repeat.
What’s not to love about serviced apartments and hotels? They look and feel just like home while providing the same amazing benefits of a hotel – all at an affordable and convenient price.
