| One option which frequently remains unnoticed is the possibility of renting an apartment instead of staying in a hotel. The difference is that a hotel room commonly will have a fridge that is mostly stocked with overpriced drinks and has no facilities for cooking a meal and often no facilities for cleaning clothes. Today hotels have a "bar fridge" which is equipped with sensors and is entirely stocked with things that you have to pay for, if anything is moved.
An apartment will have a fridge which is completely empty for you to store foodstuffs. It will have a kitchen supplied with all the necessary where you can cook. Some apartments have a washing machine and a dryer, but it's common to have communal facilities for doing the washing. In any case, there will be some option for doing the washing which does not cost much.
Another significant difference between rented apartments and hotels is the layout that is determined to a large degree by the size. Rented apartment may have walls partially or fully dividing it into separate rooms. Some rented apartments may have two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a dining area separated from the rest of the apartment. This enables a tenant to have a business meeting in the dining area while somebody is sleeping in one of the bedrooms. There is a significant difference between having a business meeting in the dining area of an apartment and in a hotel room.
Rented apartments frequently are normally a lot more expensive than hotel rooms, as they are more spacious because of the kitchen area. But by cooking in the kitchen of rented apartment you can save a good deal of money on restaurants. One more way to save some money is to use some inflatable camping beds for four tenants to sleep in an apartment which is intended for two. Still, landlords try and discourage this by only having enough cutlery for two tenants and not having spare blankets, towels, etc. On the contrary, hotel rooms often provide spare towels and blankets, as it is easier to stock every closet with them than to handle customers' requests in the night.
