Why Serviced Apartments Are Better Than Hotels for Family Holidays

After months of planning, Sarah and James were finally on their way to a long-overdue family holiday. With their two young children in tow, they couldn’t wait to make new memories. They had booked a hotel in the heart of the city, imagining carefree days of sightseeing and relaxing evenings. But reality set in fast.

The hotel room, while lovely, felt cramped with four suitcases, two excitable kids, and one cot squeezed into the corner. Dinners became a juggling act of finding child-friendly restaurants after long days out, and the lack of a quiet living space made bedtime routines challenging.

Fast forward to their next family trip—this time, they booked a serviced apartment. What a difference! The kids had their own room, Sarah and James could unwind in a cosy lounge after the kids were asleep, and having a kitchen meant family breakfasts in pyjamas became part of the holiday magic.

Sarah and James aren’t alone in discovering the benefits of serviced apartments. While hotels have their place for short stays or solo trips, serviced apartments—like those at SERCASA—are becoming the preferred choice for families who value comfort, space, and flexibility. Here are five reasons why serviced apartments are redefining family holidays.


Room to Relax and Recharge

When you’re travelling as a family, space is everything. In the hotel, Sarah and James found themselves crammed into one room, with disrupted sleep schedules and squabbles over toys. In contrast, their serviced apartment offered separate bedrooms for the kids and parents, allowing everyone to relax in their own space.

SERCASA’s serviced apartments are designed with families in mind. From spacious living areas to ample storage, these accommodations let you unpack, spread out, and truly unwind. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s part of the holiday experience.


Flexible Mealtimes That Suit You

Eating out for every meal may sound fun, but for families, it can quickly become tiring and expensive. Sarah and James experienced this firsthand, juggling rushed breakfasts and searching for kid-friendly restaurants every evening.

In their serviced apartment, the kitchen was a game-changer. They enjoyed leisurely breakfasts and prepared simple family dinners, saving money and adding to the sense of being at home.

SERCASA’s fully equipped kitchens make self-catering a breeze. From modern appliances to thoughtful extras like coffee makers, everything you need is right at your fingertips.


Thoughtful Comforts for Kids and Parents

Travelling with children means dealing with the little details, and serviced apartments excel here. During their hotel stay, Sarah and James had to make do with a cramped cot and limited entertainment options. At their Sercasa apartment, it was a completely different story.

From pre-arranged cots and highchairs to ample space for toys and playtime, SERCASA ensures families feel at home. Parents can relax in the lounge while the kids settle into their own routines—whether it’s unwinding with a movie or spreading out their toys in a dedicated play area.


Cost-Effective Without Compromise

Family holidays can be expensive, especially with hotels charging for multiple rooms and meals. Serviced apartments offer a more budget-friendly alternative without sacrificing quality. Sarah and James saved significantly on dining costs by cooking their own meals and avoided pricey laundry fees thanks to the in-unit washing machine.

SERCASA’s transparent pricing ensures you know exactly what to expect, with no hidden costs. You’ll enjoy more value for your budget, with the space and amenities your family needs.


Freedom to Travel Your Way

Hotels often come with restrictions—fixed meal times, scheduled housekeeping, and shared amenities. Serviced apartments offer families the freedom to create their own routines. Sarah and James loved sleeping in without worrying about breakfast hours and returning to a private space where they could relax as a family.

SERCASA’s apartments are also located in family-friendly neighbourhoods, offering easy access to local parks, cafes, and attractions. This blend of convenience and local charm made their trip feel authentic and stress-free.
