This has happened to me a number of times while I'm staying in small hotels by myself and I'm starting to think its a conspiracy...

I'm currently staying in a hotel / serviced apartment which is pretty good. I pay €930 (of which around €170 is claimed back for MwSt - VAT) per month which includes underground parking. I have a small kitchenette as there is not too much near for eating (a Biergarten next door is about it) and find it very convienient for when me and the missus have an argument at the weekend as I can just bugger off there. There is not too much noise, only when there's a trade fair on in nearby Stuttgart but even then its not too bad.

Most so-called 'serviced' appartments are sub-standard and for long-term lets only.
Average contractor wants to fly/drive to work first thing on Monday then check-in Mon afternoon and check out again Fri morning before he goes to work (and back home). So 4 nts @ max. £ 40 p/n at a Travelodge/TravelInn/decent B&B = £ 1600 a week. A servived appartment will cost a lot more, plus there is no one to clean/tidy the room or anyone to complain when things go wrong (from my experience)

£160 per week

No thanks

Serviced apartments is the way to go. Did the hotel thing when I first started but had the same problems as most who have replied to this post. Serviced apartments can work out the same as a good hotel and most times you can get a better rate buy paying them for a month at a time.

Around here (current gig) they are almost twice the price of a decent hotel - also the last one I did the bloke upstairs had his subwoofer set to stun so I couldn't hear anything else. Why is it only me that wants to be quiet.

I remember staying in a hotel in the US and one night I was convinced they were making porno films in the room next door. The groans, screaming and bedhead-banging were most disconcerting

I was staying in a small place up near Halifax in the hills there and late at night the people in the next room starting going at it like rabbits. You could hear all the slap, slap, slurp, slurp, thwup, thwup noises like a good old pron movie, especially as all that was between us was a door. This went on for about 20 minutes and I wasn't too bothered as I was watching TV. What really got me was that about an hour later they had the telly turned up, some C5 thing about sex and went for it again. This time I was well pissed off, especially as I couldn't see under the gap on the door. I just lobbed a shoe at the door and it went all quiet.

What? Sorry could you repeat that?

You did for me, LMAA.

I'm often awoken by noisy snorey bastards in adjacent rooms.

I find a quick phone call wakes them up long enough for me to get back to sleep.

Well your post was a lie

Jealousy makes you nasty!

I remember that. They were 2 fit cheerleaders that started begging me to help them out so I did them a favour.
