Service Apartments Website Example: Keyholder Serviced Apartments

Someone booking a month in a strange city is choosing a temporary home, not a bed for the night. The Keyholder sample is built around that difference, opening on a living room at dusk while a city skyline rises and its windows light up across the view. Three buildings come first, each with its number of apartments and a line on who it suits, from short work trips near the station to quiet long stays by the canal. Four layouts follow, from a studio to a two bedroom apartment with two bathrooms for colleagues sharing. Every card repeats the same promise: a full kitchen, a desk with a proper chair and a weekly clean. A website for service apartments that leads with daily life like this speaks to the guest who will actually be living there.

Money and logistics take up the second half, because long stays live or die on the details. A table gives weekly rates for quiet and busy months and a four weekly rate that stays the same all year, with a note that tax and registration rules differ by country and city. Six cards list what is already in every apartment, from pans and a washer dryer to bills, wifi and a host who takes in parcels. A dark band explains arrival in five steps, ending with a code for the key box so a late flight never means waiting outside. A section for company stays promises one monthly invoice and week by week extensions, and the questions price parking, pets and extra cleans. Few serviced accommodation websites put the whole cost of a month this plainly.

Rates by the week, a key after midnight and one invoice a month: what a long stay operator has to spell out

Rates that reward the longer stay

Guests staying a month compare the monthly total, not the nightly price, so the page has to show both. Keyholder prints a nightly rate on each layout for stays of three to six nights, then a table of weekly rates for quiet and busy months and a four weekly rate that holds all year. The intro to the table explains why busy months cost more, naming the conference and festival seasons. A note adds that taxes and registration rules for stays vary by country and city, and that longer stays can fall under different rules. Seeing the discount grow with the length of stay is often what turns an enquiry into a three month booking.

The kitchen and the desk listed, not implied

A long stay guest needs to know they can cook a real dinner and work a real day. The sample's six cards spell out the hob, oven, dishwasher and pans, the washer dryer and iron, and a full size desk with an adjustable chair and tested wifi. Bills are included and building hosts take in parcels, which matters more on week three than on night one. Each layout card also repeats the kitchen and desk in short ticks, so nobody has to scroll back. Detail of this kind is what separates a service apartment from a hotel room with a kettle.

Arrival that works at any hour

Flights land late and trains are delayed, so a long stay operator needs an arrival that does not depend on someone waiting with a key. Keyholder's dark band explains five steps, from the confirmed dates and an identity check to the key box code sent by noon on arrival day. Guests arriving before eight in the evening are shown round by the host, while later arrivals let themselves in. Leaving is just as clear: keys back in the box by eleven, with no need to strip the beds. A visitor who reads this knows exactly how the first and last hours of the stay will go.

A separate lane for company bookings

Many service apartment guests never pay their own bill, because an employer or a relocation agency does. The sample gives company stays their own section with a photo of someone at work, promising several apartments under one booking, one invoice a month and a named contact. It explains that stays of four weeks or more can be extended week by week while the apartment is open, and shortened with seven days' notice. The request form asks who is paying and for the company name, so the desk can quote the right person. An aparthotel website or apartment operator that ignores the employer loses its most reliable guests.

Cleaning, parking and pets priced in the open

Small charges cause the biggest arguments at check out, so the sample names them early. Extra cleans cost $45 for a studio or one bedroom and $60 for a two bedroom, parking is in a public car park at an example $20 a day and pets are allowed in one building only for a $90 charge. The tiers note says that everything else, including bills and wifi, sits inside the rate. These figures are illustrations, and a real operator would put its own beside each item. Prices stated this plainly let a company sign off a stay without a chain of emails.

Guides for operators who let flats by the week

Would a search for a monthly flat with a kitchen land on Keyholder?

People who need a flat for weeks rather than nights search with that need in mind: serviced apartment with kitchen, monthly apartment in the city centre, corporate housing, aparthotel near the station or apartment with weekly cleaning, usually with the city named. Naming each building, layout, rate band and company service in those words gives a service apartment operator's page the vocabulary those guests type.
