How is the term 'serviced accommodation' best defined?

Accommodation that offers minimal services
Facility providing meals and room cleaning
Accommodation with self-service facilities only
Accommodation focused on budget travelers

The correct answer is: Facility providing meals and room cleaning

Serviced accommodation is characterized by the provision of comprehensive services aimed at enhancing the guest experience. This typically includes facilities that provide meals, regular housekeeping, and often additional amenities such as reception services, concierge support, and room service. The idea is to offer a more hotel-like experience where guests can enjoy conveniences that contribute to their comfort and ease during their stay. The hallmark of serviced accommodation is its ability to combine living space with hotel-style services, catering to both short-term and long-term guests. This appeals particularly to travelers looking for more than just a place to sleep—those who also value convenience and support during their stay. The other answer choices reflect limited aspects of accommodation services. Some may imply inadequate service levels or focus solely on budget considerations, which do not align with the broader and more comprehensive definition of serviced accommodation.
