For those who aren’t yet familiar with the term ‘aparthotel’ or ‘serviced apartment,’ it may be somewhat tricky to justify the advantages of staying in one as opposed to staying in a hotel.
Basically, an aparthotel gives you more flexibility in the sense that it comes with a fully functioning kitchen — which allows you to save money by cooking for yourself and avoid eating out — and some extra space, as aparthotels typically offer one or more bedrooms making them the perfect choice if you’re travelling in a large group.
Additionally, services akin to hotels are also available, namely room cleaning and fresh linen.
So if you’re planning for an extended visit to London, here is our recommendation of the top five London aparthotels that will let you live like a local.
