Travelers and Businessmen Prefer Self-Catering Apartments to Hotels in Kiev

«In the USA and in Western Europe it is not normal to rent an apartment for holiday or business travel in another city. However, in Ukraine things are a bit different. Think of an apartment rental here like a Bed and Breakfast accommodation. To rent the apartment remodeled to Western standards, located in the Downtown, and for less than a comparable hotel room is more reasonable and comfortable. Also Apartment companies offer most amenities of hotels and some additional ones. We offer free mobile phones and high speed internet, laptop rentals, frequent flier mileage awards, and other services designed to meet our clients needs» — according to Nikolay Omelchenko, the director of KievApartment.com website.

Today hotel room costs about 2.5 times more than a comparable apartment. «If apartment rental ranges from $60 to $200 a day, the hotel room will be from $120-$504 per night, — notes Nickolay Omelchenko, — But a comfortable apartment with room to work and relax can accommodate up to 6 persons, whereas hotel room accommodates only two».

Choosing an apartment is becoming a better choice as hotel prices are expected to rise another 12% in the second half of 2010 according to The Ukrainian Business Resource.

Mike D., a businessman from Chicago, says that for his last three visits to Ukraine he used an apartment rental service. «For my work I need good internet access and a peaceful and quiet work place. Hotels can provide these, but for an additional expense, usually overpriced. Apartments are comfortably furnished and have a workspace with dedicated internet connection. There is also free local calls. One of the biggest advantages of apartments are the fully furnished kitchens. I can prepare coffee and snacks while I am working. I don't need to go to a restaurant. This saves my time and and money. In addition, I can meet my clients in a private and comfortable place without interruption or people listening into our conversations».

There are many advantages of rental apartments over hotel rooms. You will find excellent service, comfortable rooms, fantastic location, and the best prices available. Come to Kiev and Ukraine and see for yourself.
