Today, we really are spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding on what type of accommodation we wish to stay when planning a week-end get away, holiday or business travel in the United Kingdom.
The first type, which are often a popular choice for those on business travel, are the Chain Hotels such as the Hilton, Marriott and Holiday Inn. These types of hotels are found in most of the UK’s major cities. These hotels are targeted at the needs of business travelers by the fact that the guestrooms are equipped with spacious desks and Internet connection. The advantage of this form accommodation is that they are often located near airports and, or major Railway Stations for easy access and are equipped with facilities such as a fitness centre, dinning area, conference rooms, and lounge area in which to relax. The disadvantage is that they are generally a more expense choice of stay and are impersonal due to the volume of guests who come and go everyday.
Citizens of the UK consider Bed and Breakfasts to be a traditional type of accommodation. Typically, bed and breakfasts are private homes with fewer than 10 bedrooms available for commercial use. Rooms are offered to guests usually for week-end or mid-week stays as well as breakfast in a common dining area. The advantage of this type a accommodation is that the host will invariably want to make sure that you are comfortable and feeling at home, they are generally less expensive than a hotel stay and they offer a more personal touch. They are, however, not all suited to those on business travel because guest rooms aren't equipped with a desk and Internet connection.
Holiday Resorts cater primarily to leisure travelers and are generally found close to the beach, near established ski slopes and in or near theme park attractions. This type of stay usually has facilities for recreational activities such as a swimming pool, tennis courts, golf course and one or two dinning facilities. Prices vary depending on the location and are ideal for family holidays.
Lastly, there is the choice of a serviced apartment, which are ideal for leisure travel, business travel as well as for those looking for temporary accommodation while relocating to a different town or county. Serviced apartments are fully furnished with a fully equipped kitchen. The advantage of staying in a serviced apartment is that you pay per apartment and not per person, so if there is more than one of you, it is less expensive than a hotel stay of equal standards. You also have all the comforts of home and flexibility to prepare your own meals and invite friends to savour your cooking.
