How do I book a hotel room for long-term use?

Why is long-term hotel accommodation a sensible option for business trips?

Long-term hotel accommodation offers significant benefits to employers and employees during business trips. Cost-effectiveness is one of the biggest advantages – long-term bookings often come with substantial discounts compared to individual nights. At Omena Hotel, the fixed price includes basic expenses such as electricity, water, and WiFi, so there are no unexpected additional costs.

The central location saves employees’ time and travel costs. When the hotel is centrally located, employees can quickly and easily reach their workplace without long commutes. This reduces time spent on travel and improves employee well-being.

For employers, long-term accommodation also means administrative ease. Processing a single invoice is simpler than handling multiple separate travel expenses. Additionally, employees are assured of accommodation quality – high-quality domestic beds guarantee a good night’s sleep and an energetic workday.

Long-term accommodation is flexible: if a project extends or shortens, reservations can usually be modified more easily than with traditional rental apartments. Employers also appreciate that there’s no need to invest in furniture or appliances, unlike with short-term rental apartments.

How do I book a hotel room for long-term use?

Booking a hotel room for long-term use has been made very easy at Omena Hotel. You can book accommodation for at least 10 nights in three different ways. The simplest way is to fill out the quote request form on the website, where you describe your accommodation needs. You’ll quickly receive a personalized offer to your email.

You can also call customer service, where you’ll get immediate information about the availability and prices of long-term accommodation. The third option is to book directly through the reservation system on the website, but for longer stays, requesting a quote is usually the more economical option.

When making a reservation, it’s worth considering a few things to maximize cost-effectiveness:

• Book as early as possible to more likely get a better price
• Be flexible with your arrival date – weekdays are often cheaper than weekends
• Mention during booking that it’s a business trip – special pricing may be available for corporate customers
• Ask about the possibility of special pricing for longer stays

When booking, you’ll receive a key code that gives you direct access to your room without checking in at the reception. This code works throughout your stay, making coming and going effortless during a long work assignment.

What special considerations should be noted for long-term hotel accommodation?

In long-term hotel accommodation, the room type and amenities become important for everyday convenience. At Omena Hotel, rooms are equipped with practical conveniences such as a microwave, refrigerator, and kettle, which allow for small meals in the room. This saves both time and money, as you don’t need to eat every meal at a restaurant.

Location in relation to the workplace is a crucial factor – the closer the hotel is to the work site, the less time is spent commuting. The central location of Omena Hotels in city centers means that public transportation is always nearby.

Dining options should be mapped out in advance. A central location ensures that there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores nearby. For longer stays, it’s also worth checking:

• The nearest laundry services, as Omena Hotels do not have laundry facilities
• Nearby gyms or sports facilities to maintain well-being during your business trip
• Opening hours and locations of grocery stores to streamline your daily routine

It’s also good to know the room cleaning schedule – at Omena Hotel, cleaning takes place every five days, ensuring a clean and comfortable environment throughout your long-term stay.

How long can you typically book a hotel room for?

At Omena Hotel, long-term accommodation starts from 10 nights, but there is no upper limit. Flexible booking periods allow you to stay exactly as long as your work tasks require – whether it’s a two-week project or a work assignment spanning several months. For longer stays, an individual agreement is often made, taking into account the customer’s specific needs.

Payment arrangements for long-term accommodation are flexible. Typically, payment is made either in advance for the entire period or in agreed installments, for example, monthly. For corporate customers, it’s often possible to arrange billing afterward, which simplifies the management of business trips.

Booking terms for long-term stays are usually more flexible than for short bookings. Flexibility in arrival and departure times is particularly important for business trips when schedules can change. Omena Hotel’s self-service concept allows arrival at any time without the presence of reception staff.

It’s good to note that in long-term hotel accommodation:

• Extending your reservation is usually easy if rooms are available
• Cancellation terms may be individual – check these when booking
• For longer stays, a security deposit may be required

How does the self-service concept make life easier for long-term guests?

The self-service concept provides long-term guests with unique freedom and flexibility. Omena Hotel has no reception, so you can arrive and depart completely according to your own schedule without queuing for check-in or check-out. This is especially valuable for long-term guests who may follow irregular working hours.

Privacy is another significant advantage – no one monitors your comings and goings or asks questions. You can feel like you’re at home, which is important when you’re staying for an extended period. The self-service concept also enables savings, as you don’t pay for services you don’t need.

For long-term guests, maintaining a life rhythm is important – in a self-service hotel, you can follow your own routines, whether it’s a morning shower after a run at an unusual time or a late work meeting via remote connection.

Practical benefits of the self-service concept include:

• The key code works throughout your stay – no need to exchange keys
• No stress about accommodating reception staff when returning late
• Freedom to invite guests and work colleagues to meet you according to your own schedule
• Opportunity to organize your daily life exactly as it suits you
