Why Choose a Serviced Apartment Over a Hotel Room?

When planning a trip, accommodation plays a huge role in how comfortable and enjoyable your stay will be. While hotels have long been the go-to option, more travellers are now choosing serviced apartments - and for good reason.

At Riverstone Stays, we believe your accommodation should feel like more than just a place to sleep. Here is why serviced accommodation is often the smarter choice.


🏠 More Space to Truly Relax

Unlike standard hotel rooms, serviced apartments offer living, dining, and sleeping areas. Whether you are unwinding after a long workday or spending quality time with family, having extra space makes all the difference.


🍳 Fully Equipped Kitchens

Enjoy the freedom of a fully equipped kitchen. Cook your own meals, cater to dietary needs, or simply enjoy breakfast at your own pace. It’s convenient, cost-effective, and ideal for longer stays.


🛋️ All the Comforts of Home

Serviced apartments are designed to help you feel settled. Comfortable furnishings, thoughtful amenities, and a homely layout mean you can relax — without the restrictions of hotel living.


💷 Better Value for Money

For extended stays, group bookings, or business trips, serviced accommodation often provides better value than hotels. More space, more facilities, and fewer hidden costs.


🔑 Privacy & Flexibility

With your own private apartment, you can come and go on your own terms. No crowded lobbies, no rigid schedules — just complete flexibility and privacy throughout your stay.


✨ Who Are Serviced Apartments Perfect For?

  • Business travellers needing comfort and productivity
  • Families wanting space and convenience
  • Couples seeking a relaxed city break
  • Anyone looking for a true “home away from home” experience
