Studio or apartment? What’s the difference?
When staying at smartments, you can choose between a studio and an apartment. But what exactly does that mean, and which type of room is better suited to your stay? Here you will find everything you need to know.
What is a studio?
Our studios are the ideal choice if you want compact and smart living. With sizes ranging from 13 to 39 m², they offer everything you need for a comfortable stay – perfect for solo travelers, short trips, or spontaneous city breaks. We offer smartments studios in room types S, L, XL, and Twin, and they score points with their functional layout that makes optimal use of every square meter.
What is an apartment?
Our apartments, on the other hand, offer 30 to over 50 m² of space, giving you noticeably more room to spread out. They often have a separate living and sleeping area as well as a sofa bed—a plus for anyone staying longer, traveling on business, or traveling with their family.
No matter which category you choose, smartments always includes a kitchen, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a central location. This means you are flexible, independent, and right in the middle of the action with both options.
