An independent guide from BRITARRIVE. Facilities and permitted occupancy vary by apartment; check the exact category before booking.
Make the everyday bits easier
A family break with a little more flexibility.
Breakfast before you head out. Snacks when they are needed. Somewhere to relax after a busy day. An apartment can give your family more control over the pace of a trip.
The useful details are the ones that fit your household: enough proper beds, a workable kitchen, somewhere for the pushchair and a layout that makes bedtime easier.
Space that works for you
What kind of family apartment do you need?
A family studio and a two-bedroom apartment offer different experiences. Look at the floor plan and bed arrangement alongside the maximum guest number.
| Layout | Why consider it? | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Family studio | An open-plan option for a family comfortable sharing one main space. | Sofa-bed setup, children’s age limits and whether bedtime means lights out for everyone. |
| One bedroom with a sofa bed | A separate bedroom and additional sleeping space in the living area. | Who can use the sofa bed, any setup fee and how it affects the lounge when unfolded. |
| Two or more bedrooms | More separation for different bedtimes, older children or relatives. | Actual bed sizes, bathroom count and permitted occupancy for your entire party. |
| Connecting apartments | A possible alternative when one apartment cannot accommodate everyone. | Whether an internal connecting door is guaranteed, rather than rooms simply being nearby. |
Travelling as a family of five or more?
A room described as “family” may only accommodate two adults and two children. Search for your full party, compare larger apartment categories, and ask the provider to confirm the permitted occupancy in writing if the listing is unclear. Do not assume a cot or sofa bed increases the room limit.

Your family booking checklist.
The best fit is the apartment that works for your family’s actual routine. A few questions before paying can make arrival, meals and bedtime easier.
Compare the final price for the same dates, party size and cancellation conditions. Separate-bedroom apartments may cost more, while cooking facilities may help with meal costs; savings are not guaranteed.
- Everyone included: enter infants and children with the correct ages and confirm the total occupancy limit.
- Beds: check double versus twin beds, sofa-bed size and whether bedding or setup costs extra.
- Baby equipment: request cots and high chairs where available; confirm charges and availability.
- Meals: verify the kitchen appliances, fridge space and dining seating you need.
- Laundry: ask whether facilities are private, shared or chargeable.
- Access: check lifts, steps, pushchair storage, stairs and balconies against your needs.
- Total cost: review deposits, cleaning, parking, visitor charges and extra-guest fees.
- Flexibility: read cancellation and amendment terms, plus check-in and luggage-storage arrangements.

Family serviced apartment FAQs
What makes an apartment suitable for families?
Look for a permitted occupancy that covers your whole family, suitable beds, cooking facilities and a practical layout. Confirm any essential cot, lift access or separate-bedroom requirement with the provider before booking.
Can a family of five or six stay in one apartment?
Some larger apartments can accommodate bigger families, but this depends on the exact category and children’s ages. Enter everyone in the search and confirm the limit. Do not book a smaller-capacity room assuming an extra child can share.
Does a family studio have a separate bedroom?
Usually a studio has one open-plan living and sleeping area. If you want to relax separately after the children go to bed, look for a category that explicitly offers a separate bedroom and suitable additional sleeping space.
Are children, cots and extra beds included in the price?
Policies differ by provider, room and age. A sofa bed, cot or extra bed may need advance confirmation or carry a charge. Check the total price for your exact party and request any equipment before arrival.
Do all serviced apartments have washing machines?
No. Laundry may be in the apartment, in a shared laundry room, provided as a paid service or unavailable. Check the specific room description if a washer-dryer is important for your stay.
Are family serviced apartments cheaper than hotels?
Sometimes, but not always. Compare suitable accommodation for the same party and dates, including all fees. Kitchens can help with meal planning, but the overall cost depends on the property, room type and your plans.
How do I check accessibility or a room’s suitability for younger children?
Ask about the actual apartment layout, building approach, lifts, internal stairs and balcony arrangements. A broad family or accessibility label may not answer your specific requirements. Request confirmation from the provider.
Can I book through BRITARRIVE?
No. BRITARRIVE helps you discover accommodation options. Follow a link to the provider or booking platform to check availability, read the terms and complete the booking. The company named on your confirmation handles payments, changes and booking support.
