When planning a trip, one of the biggest decisions is where to stay. While hotels have been the traditional choice for decades, furnished apartments are quickly becoming the go-to option for modern travelers. At ZuruBNB, we’ve seen more and more guests choose apartments over hotels — and for good reason. Here are five advantages that might surprise you:
1. More Space, More Comfort
Unlike hotel rooms, which often feel cramped, furnished apartments give you room to breathe. You get a living area, kitchen, and sometimes even a balcony. It feels less like a stopover and more like home.
2. Cost-Effective for Longer Stays
If you’re staying more than a few nights, hotels can get expensive. With the recent good performance of the travel industry, partments often come at a lower rate per night and allow you to cook your own meals, saving on dining costs.
3. Local Living Experience
Hotels can feel the same wherever you go. Apartments, on the other hand, are located in real neighborhoods, letting you experience the city like a local. Whether you’re in Nairobi, Mombasa, or Kisumu, you’ll be closer to the everyday life of the community.
4. Perfect for Groups and Families
Traveling with friends or family? Apartments are ideal. You can share common spaces while still having private bedrooms. It’s more convenient and usually cheaper than booking multiple hotel rooms.
5. Home-Like Amenities
From laundry machines to fully stocked kitchens, apartments are equipped with the little things that make a big difference. You can cook your favorite meals, do your laundry, or just relax in a cozy living room after a long day.
Conclusion
Hotels will always have their place, but for flexibility, value, and comfort, furnished apartments are hard to beat. At ZuruBNB, we connect you with beautiful apartments across Kenya that feel like home from the moment you walk in.
