Choosing The Right Apartment

How to tell a quality serviced apartment from a sub-standard one.

I often get calls from people who haggle over prices. They tell me of dirt-cheap offers in posh areas, trying to negotiate a cheaper deal at Dreamhome. But we at Dreamhome do not believe in negotiations that will in turn compromise the quality of service offered. Some may take offence, but I firmly believe that "if you throw peanuts, you get monkeys"!

I have had a first-hand look at companies offering cheap deals. Most of them put together mismatched, cast-off furniture that are on their last legs with shabby linen and furnishings. That's definitely not the case with Dreamhome, as my clients will vouch for.

In fact, I have had clients who have come to Dreamhome after a horror stay at some of these cheap apartments. The list of complaints have ranged from bed bugs, unclean smelly bedsheets, small matchbox-like rooms where you get down from the bed and enter the equally tiny loo, bad service, etc.

Dreamhome specialises in exclusivity. Most of our apartments are exclusive serviced apartments, where there is no intrusion on the guests' privacy. Even a 3 bedroom Serviced apartment which is preferred by corporates and budget travellers, is completely self contained with television, digital cable connection, Wi-Fi, wardrobes, beds with comfort mattresses, dressing tables, electric kettles etc. which takes car of all the guests needs. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is also served at the apartment to make the guest feel completely at home. 

Guests also have the privilege of cooking their own meals, if they so desire. Recently, we hosted a Masterchef contestant at one of our properties, and she would cook up a storm every day that she stayed.

Thus, Dreamhome clearly has an edge over hotels in this regard.
