Frequently asked questions

GLANDON Apartments offers business and private customers furnished apartments «on a temporary basis» – at fair prices. There are three labels in different price ranges and with different standards: Light Apartments, Business Apartments and Residence Apartments. In all three categories, guests benefit from full service. For example, service charges, WLAN and a cleaning service every two weeks are included in the price.

Business apartments are not only popular among foreign business people. Swiss citizens are also among the clientele. For example the young woman studying in a different city. The older couple who appreciate the additional service such as the biweekly cleaning. Or, the craftsperson who has to work on a construction site in another city for a few months. «Temporary» apartments are also popular among people who are separating/divorcing or when the renovation of the house/flat is imminent.
