Guestz is a UK provider of serviced apartments and studios. The properties suit weekend breaks, business trips and longer work stays. It makes most sense when you would rather have your own kitchen and some extra room than a standard hotel room.
What you can book
Guestz lets apartments, studios and rooms with a kitchen corner in places such as Blackpool, Hull, Warrington, Cheltenham, Lytham St Annes and Anglesey. The site lists properties like The Wellington in Blackpool, City Point in Hull, The Wire in Warrington, and Bayview and The Swell in Rhosneigr. There are options for couples, families, solo travellers and teams working on a project nearby.
According to the provider, the amenities include WiFi, an equipped kitchen, linen and towels, housekeeping, round-the-clock support, self check-in, a TV, and tea and coffee. Pets are allowed at some properties, and hot tubs are only at selected ones. Ask about both before you book.
What a booking really costs
With serviced apartments the room rate is only part of the bill. Factor in these points:
- Deposit: the FAQ mentions a security deposit that is returned after your stay. Check the amount and the refund timing before you pay.
- Parking: spaces are limited, so ask the team whether one is reserved for your property and whether it costs extra.
- Extra services: add-ons such as champagne, airport transfers or car hire are optional and come on top.
- Early check-in or late check-out: you can request either, but there is no entitlement.
- Pets: where they are allowed, a charge may apply. It is listed with the property.
Ask directly what is included in the price. Guestz answers this very question in its FAQ, and the answer differs from property to property.
Cancellation and payment
Cancellation terms and payment dates are in the FAQ and in the terms of the property. When you have to pay depends on your booking. Read both before you confirm, especially for dates in peak season. If your plans might change, choose an option with a late cancellation deadline where you can.
How to save
For stays of 28 nights or more, Guestz offers corporate rates on request. That pays off for longer projects or relocations. For short trips you save most by picking weekdays instead of weekends and travelling outside school holidays. The site also has an offers page. We collect current discount codes on our provider page, if there are any.
Tips before booking
- Check the location on the map and see how far the beach, station or office is.
- If you arrive after 10 pm, ask how self check-in works.
- Take your own travel insurance if you cannot cancel for free.
- Save the team phone number before you travel in case something goes wrong on the way.
- Read the house rules on smoking, number of guests and quiet hours. They can differ from property to property.
Who it suits
Guestz is not a hotel chain with one uniform standard. Each property has its own character, from a beach apartment on Anglesey to a city apartment in Hull. That also means you should read the description of the individual property closely. For families and groups an apartment often works out cheaper than two hotel rooms, because you can cook and have a living area. For a single night with a late check-in, a classic hotel with a reception desk is sometimes the simpler choice.
If you stay several weeks, do not simply multiply the daily rate. Ask directly instead. For work stays especially, you can often get a better total price than through the normal booking form.
Booking with cashback
The cashback runs through daily cashback. Open the daily cashback shop page for Guestz first, go from there to Guestz and book as usual. The credit follows after your confirmed trip. You can see the current rate on our Guestz page at TripPrice.
