International relocation is exciting, but it's also disruptive, particularly to employees with families. Taking their services one step further, Htel Serviced Apartments is now offering relocation solutions to cater to all of their clients' relocation needs.

International companies are increasingly providing employees with the opportunity to travel abroad for work, from anywhere from a few weeks up to a few years. Although international relocation is exciting, it's also disruptive, particularly to employees with families.

Htel Serviced Apartments offers a valuable service to international companies with employees in the Amsterdam area. Htel Serviced Apartments provides self-catering apartments that are comfortable and home-like, while also delivering the amenities of a five-star hotel, such as a safe and welcoming reception area, housekeeping services, a fitness centre and board rooms for meetings.

"It's a very unique accommodation," says Ingmar Sloothaak, General Manager of Htel Serviced Apartments. "Our apartments are situated in two buildings, rather than--as some companies do--placing clients all around the city. When you enter, you get the feeling you are in a hotel, in terms of security and safety, which is important when you are in a new place."

The central location of the apartments helps employees and their families to settle in more easily, because they are staying within close proximity of other expats  and/or their colleagues. "A lot of people get to know each other well, by meeting in the lobby and other on-site facilities  such as indoor swimming pool, fitness area and launderette.  

"The company is now expanding its services with relocation solutions, such as helping clients with opening a bank account, registering with the town hall  immigration authorities and even applying for daycare. ‘It's truly a one-stop shop," says  Sloothaak. "There's so much that needs to be done when you first arrive as an expat. For employees, it is very exciting and also confusing to move to another country, and for employers, it can be hard as well, because the settling-in procedure takes a lot of time and requires specific expertise. Htel Relocation Solutions has a very experienced and young team to assist with and advise in all these procedures."

The services are mostly offered to companies that seek temporary accommodation for employees in Htel apartments. Htel would like to expand with more non-contracted clients as well. "We are not aiming to be a relocation company," Sloothaak says. ‘We provide these services as an extension of our services. We offer a transparent menu of choices - we personalize our services to fit the needs of the individual." Htel Relocation Solutions are time- and cost-saving services that will help you and your expat manage the process of settling into the Netherlands with ease.

The company offers accommodation for short-term stays--minimum one week, to long-term stays--up to six months. Its rates for relocation services are very competitive: starting from EUR 65 an hour for clients who are working for companies with a Htel contract.
