General

  • What is a serviced apartment?

    Serviced apartments offer the comfort of a residence and the service of a hotel. PM-AM apartments always feature a kitchenette, space for luggage and an extra-large bathroom. At the same time, we also offer hotel services such as weekly cleaning, free high-speed Wi-Fi, 24/7 check-in and direct contact with our staff. Simply the best of both worlds: a residence and a hotel.

  • Why should I choose PM-AM Apartments over a hotel?

    PM-AM offers you all the comfort you need while being easy on your budget. It is a stylish home that offers space to feel good. You can choose between doing your own laundry or having it done for you and enjoy the option of self-catering. We personally take care of your needs, give you local tips and help you make your stay as pleasant as possible.
