Both have their place \u2013 but since we\u2019re hosts heart and soul, of course, we\u2019d love to tell you why an apartment is the all-round better home away from home for so many guests. <\/p>\n<h2>More space, more freedom<\/h2>\n<p>The biggest difference is probably the space. Instead of a single room, you get a proper living area with us, your own kitchen and \u2013 depending on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rank.at\/en\/apartments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apartment<\/a> \u2013 separate bedrooms. You can spread out, unwind, live. Especially for families or longer stays, that makes a real difference, because no one is sitting on top of anyone else.   <\/p>\n<h2>Cook for yourself, whenever you like<\/h2>\n<p>With your own kitchen, you\u2019re independent: a quick breakfast in your pyjamas, dinner after a long day, or simply a cup of tea whenever you fancy one. That\u2019s easier on the travel budget and also handy when someone has particular preferences or the children just need their usual meals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-margin-top:40px;--awb-margin-bottom:40px;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Apartment 9 Living room with TV and kitchen\" title=\"_ferchergasse_ap9_georgeye-6\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rank.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ferchergasse_ap9_georgeye-6-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-1719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rank.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ferchergasse_ap9_georgeye-6-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.rank.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ferchergasse_ap9_georgeye-6-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.rank.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ferchergasse_ap9_georgeye-6-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rank.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ferchergasse_ap9_georgeye-6-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.rank.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ferchergasse_ap9_georgeye-6-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\" style=\"--awb-text-transform:none;\"><h2>Personal, not anonymous<\/h2>\n<p>In a big hotel, you\u2019re often a room number.
