Tips to find the perfect accommodation in Madrid
1.- Hotel or Apartment in Madrid?: When is better to stay in an Hotel?
When we left home, either for work or for vacations, we have the dilemma of choosing a place where to stay.Nor can enjoy plenty of space. The rooms, although usually well equipped, have only enough space to accommodate our beds and a small desk where we can hardly work, or read a book. They seldom have a comfortable sofa. If we are tired, but it is not the time to go to bed, we will have to lay ourselves on the bedside reading our book or newspaper, because there has not usually no other comfortable place to sit.
Comfort is a very subjective matter. For many it is very comfortable to call room service to bring us a sandwich or our favorite beverage. But for others it is really inconvenient to have to always eat out, not having a relaxing time enjoying tea while we choose what clothes ourselves or what we will visit today.
In hotels it is assumed that when we are away from home we will be out the whole time, and that we are not leaving our home to "stay in" in a hotel room, but yes to be working, or to be spending all day sightseeing. So the hotel rooms are not ready to be able to stay, for example, a whole afternoon there.
And, although it is essential to find a hotel that is near the area where we will have to move around, so we will avoid unnecessary trips, we will never feel that the room hotel is our own shelter: we will always feel strange in their units, and just they are designed in advance, for anyone endears their stays.
So, on these trips lightning where only need a place to relax after a busy day of work or sightseeing, no sense to seek an apartment.
n this case it is important to find a hotel that is well located, their beds are comfortable and offers a good room service. And, of course: it is clean!

Apartamentos Frente a Hoteles en Madrid
HomesForTravellers tiene una gran selección de apartamentos de alquiler a corto plazo, dirigido a personas que desean permanecer desde unos pocos días a unas semanas en Madrid.
Pero ¿cuáles son las ventajas de elegir un apartamento en lugar de un hotel?
Pues bien, el precio es la más obvia (y seamos sinceros, a todos nos gusta un buen precio!) Por ejemplo, en uno de nuestros bonitos apartamentos de cuatro dormitorios, de 140 m2, situado en el corazón de Madrid, (como es el apartamento Molino) los alquileres tan sólo cuestan 165 por noche para 4 personas, y tiene capacidad hasta para 11 personas por sólo 235 € (y ahora, en Enero y Febrero de 2012, ofrece un descuento del 20%, y solo costaría 222€ por noche para 11 personas basándose en estancias semanales!!!). Intenta conseguir cuatro habitaciones en un hotel de lujo en el centro de la ciudad por el mismo precio!. Imposible!. Por lo general, este es el precio del alquiler de una sola habitación en un hotel de lujo en Madrid. Y, para un grupo de 9 personas, habrías necesitado reservar al menos 4 habitaciones de hotel. Por lo que si unimos al buen precio la posibilidad de cocinar en casa, ahorrarás un montón en una semana.
Podrá disfrutar de la interesante experiencia de comprar en un mercado en un país extranjero - los mercados de alimentos de Madrid son una auténtica aventura!
A algunos clientes no les gustan las agencias de alquiler temporal que piden dinero en efectivo solamente para pagar el alquiler del apartamento. Prefieren tener la opción de pagar en efectivo o con tarjeta de crédito. En Homesfortravellers, la mayoría de nuestros apartamentos aceptan el pago completo con tarjeta de crédito, por lo que tiene no llevar dinero encima.
Lo que a la mayoría de nuestros clientes le encanta de nuestros apartamentos es la libertad y la sensación de tener su "propio" espacio, sabiendo que nadie va a entrar en su casa cuando ellos están fuera de ella- esto hace que se sientan seguros de dejar sus pertenencias en el apartamento y no sienten la necesidad de dejar todo en orden, o devolverlo a su "correcto" el lugar cada día. Les gusta estar entrando y saliendo con total libertad, sin que nadie les "controle".
También les gusta tener una lavadora para poder viajar con poco equipaje. Y, por supuesto, les gusta tener una cocina para no estar obligados a comer en restaurantes todo el tiempo.
Nuestros apartamentos ofrecen más espacio y comodidad que las habitaciones de hotel, donde a menudo, por muy bonitas y lujosas que sean, nuestro espacio se reduce a un dormitorio. Alojandote en un apartamento en vez de en un hotel tendrás más espacio, privacidad y libertad, a la mitad del precio de un hotel de calidad similar. Y en caso de que necesites ayuda, también ofrecemos servicios adicionales de limpieza, y nuestro equipo está siempre dispuesto a ayudarte con cualquier duda o problema que puedas tener.
¿Te hemos convencido? No? Un último punto - contamos con una amplia selección de apartamentos de todos los tamaños, formas, estilos y precios, en las mejores zonas de Madrid. Si quieres alojarte en el corazón del viejo Madrid, o en las zonas más de moda, como Chueca o Malasaña, podemos ayudarte a encontrar el apartamento perfecto para tu estancia en Madrid
Por lo tanto, si todavía no lo has probado, en tu próxima visita a Madrid alojate en un apartamento. Si lo pruebas, te va a encantar!
Apartments versus Hotels in Madrid
Whatever is the reason, you have decided to go to Madrid. You’ve booked your vacation time and chosen Madrid, or just came to Madrid for work, and now the only thing left to do is to find somewhere to stay. Maybe a hotel or guesthouse may be the obvious choice, but it may be not the most smart, nor the most cost-effective.
HomesForTravellers have a great selection of short term rental apartments, aimed at people wanting to stay from a few days to a few weeks in Madrid.
So, just what are the advantages of choosing an apartment instead of a hotel?
Well, the cost is the obvious one (and let’s face it, everyone loves a good price!) For example, one of our apartments in the heart of the city, (like the Molino apartment) rents for as little as €165 a night for 4 people, and can accommodate up to 11 people for just 222€ (now in January and February 2012 with a 20% discount). Just try to find four bedrooms in a luxury hotel in the city centre for the same price! Usually this is the rental price of just one bedroom in a luxury hotel in Madrid. With a group like that, you would have needed 4 hotel rooms. So the good price and the ability to cook at home, you will save a bunch in a week.
Only think in that: If your group is larger than 2 or 3 people, you can save big by renting an apartment and cooking some of your own meals. Even in Madrid, Spain, it's hard to find a restaurant meal for under 10 euros/US$15. So for 4 people you get close to $200/day in meals. The downsides are that by visiting fewer restaurants you miss out on some of the local food culture and the time required to cook and clean. But if you enjoy cooking you get to experiment with new ingredients, and you can check out the food markets. All of our short term rental apartments come with a modern and fully-equipped kitchen. You can enjoy the new experience of shopping and cooking in a foreign country – the Madrid food markets are an adventure in themselves!
Some clients don't like the agencies that ask for cash only. They said that it's better to have the choice of either paying with cash or credit card and that it's much easier to get the deposit refunded as there'll be no cash to exchange. In homesfortravellers.com, most of our apartments accept full payment by credit card, so you have not to carry money with you.
Also, you will have more privacy and freedom having your own apartment. No need to worry about coming and going, wake up calls – you can relax yourself, and enjoy your new home away from home for the duration of your stay.
What most of our clients love about our apartments is the freedom of having their 'own' space, knowing no-one will come in when they are out - this makes them feel secure about leaving their belongings in the apartment and neither feel the need to leave everything tidy or return it to its 'correct' place each day. They like to stay in or go out every time entirely by their own choosing.
They like having a washing machine so they can travel light. They like having a kitchen so they are not obliged to eat out in restaurants all the time. And they love the Internet Connection for Free, to connect with their friends and family!
Our apartments also offer more space and comfort than the average hotel room, where you are often confined to spending all your time in the bedroom. A stay in an apartment gives you space, privacy and freedom, at half cost of a hotel of a similar quality. And in case you need help, we also offer additional cleaning services, and our team is always on hand to help you with any queries or problems you may have.
Have we convinced you yet? No?! One final point then – we have a broad selection of apartments of every size, shape and style, in some of the best locations in the city. Whether you want to stay in the heart of old Madrid, or in the trendiest areas like Chueca or Malasaña, we can help find the perfect property for you.
So, if you have not done yet, in your next visit to Madrid stay in an apartment. If you try it, you will love it!
