When you stay in a serviced apartment, and especially, if you have diet restrictions, it can be become really hectic to come and do things on your own. Not all serviced apartments have the benefit of providing you with a cook at an additional charge.
  • There are also times when serviced apartments may not live up to the various promises that it has made. For example, the facilities or amenities that were promised are either not functional, or in some cases, may not be up to the mark compared to what was seen in the pictures. It can create a really negative impact on the clients’ minds, due to which, a lot of people may not prefer service apartments in future after having one such bad experience.
  • Sometimes, service apartments may not have enough staff to help around or even, at times; it may also be that the customer service that is provided is not as good as it was promised. This is also one of the reasons why some people do not prefer living in a service apartment. This can also become a matter of concern especially since you are out of the comfort of your own city. Some people may not really let this affect them. However, for some, this can be an issue.
  • Another reason why some people may not prefer a service apartment is due to some previous experience. For example, the apartments were not that clean or well-maintained; the amenities that were offered may not be up to the mark etc. It can also be due to the fact that personal hygiene level of the people working in the place may not be that good.
  • Another reason why people may not prefer a service apartment is because of the fact that for any additional service, there is an additional charge. For example, if you want to use the gym, not all service apartments include that facility in their rates; there is a chance that you would have to pay for these sorts of facilities separately.
