The main difference between self-catering and room-only accommodation is that self-catering provides you with facilities to prepare your own meals, while room-only does not include any meal preparation facilities.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Room Only: This option typically just includes the room itself. You won't have any cooking facilities, and no meals are included in the price. You'll need to eat out at restaurants, cafes, or order room service (if available).
-
Self-Catering: With self-catering, you are provided with a room or apartment that includes facilities to prepare your own meals. This usually consists of a kitchenette or full kitchen with appliances like a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, and cooking utensils. While no meals are included in the upfront cost, you have the flexibility to buy groceries and cook your own food.
In short, if you want the freedom to cook your own meals during your stay, self-catering is the option to choose. If you prefer eating out or ordering in, room-only might be a better fit.
