Solarino House FAQs

Serviced apartments & apart-hotels

What is a serviced apartment?

A serviced apartment, also known as an apart-hotel, is a fully furnished home that comes fully serviced, with regular cleaning, fresh linen and round-the-clock support. At Rambla @ Solarino House in Brunswick, that means a full kitchen with an oven, cooktop, fridge and dishwasher, your own in-apartment laundry and a separate living area: your home away from home, whether it's a few nights or a few months.

How is a serviced apartment different from a hotel?

You get a lot more room to actually live. Rambla @ Solarino House gives you a separate living area instead of a standard hotel room, plus your own full kitchen, in-apartment laundry, housekeeping and 24-hour guest support. That's the apart-hotel difference: it's built for longer stays in Brunswick, so you can cook, work or just switch off on your own schedule.

Is this an apart-hotel or a serviced apartment?

Both terms describe the same stay. Rambla @ Solarino House in Brunswick is a serviced apartment property, which is what most people mean by an apart-hotel: your own apartment with a kitchen and laundry, plus housekeeping, digital check-in and shared facilities all looked after for you.
