Moving from 1BHK to hotel living for a year, does it make sense?
My apartment lease is ending soon, and I’m considering switching to hotel living for about a year.
Right now I spend around AED 8k+ per month (rent + bills). My family won’t be joining me until at least next year due to some uncertainties, and I’m also exploring opportunities outside the UAE. Because of that, I’d like to avoid committing to another lease and risking the 2-month penalty if I leave early.
I’m also not keen on moving to a studio, mainly because of the upfront costs (deposit, setup, etc.) and the same penalty risk if I need to exit early.
Hotels seem more flexible, but I’m a bit concerned about prices during peak season.
I’m not comfortable with bed space, but I might consider sharing a room, although I’m still hesitant about that too.
Has anyone here tried living in hotels long-term in Dubai? Does it make sense financially and practically?
Would really appreciate any advice or experiences. #local source
