The hotel. What is it, what are the features and advantages of this housing

Despite the financial crisis, inflation, any political changes, the demand for housing will always be. After all, students finish institutes and leave dormitories, some married couples, unfortunately, get divorced and have to exchange apartments, lovers marry and want to live separately from their parents, families have children, and those in turn grow up eventually graduate and also They are looking for their own dwelling. So it turns out "the circulation of apartments in nature." Another thing is that only a few can afford elite housing, and a full-fledged "odnushka" not everyone can afford. In this case, just attracts the attention of the hotel. We'll try to explain what this is in this article.

Where did the hotel go from?

Apartments of the hotel type (KGTshki) were actively built in the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 1970s. They were intended for workers in production, and often they were built with their help. The apartment-hotel at that time was considered a "transition stage" between the hostel and the full-length apartment. It was assumed that single rooms for workers or young couples without children are quite enough rooms in 9-17 square meters. M. For their meals intended canteens, which are often located on the first floor of the same house. And the Soviet citizen had to wash himself in public baths. And by the time the family grew, workers had to get a more spacious apartment. With this point of view, and the peculiarities of the layout of the hotel. But in the 1990s, many production facilities were closed, housing ceased to be built in sufficient quantities, and the desired square meters became available only on a commercial basis. Therefore, there are still so many people in the apartments, called the "hotel". What it is?

How are the hotel rooms?

The prototype of Soviet-style hotel-type apartments was popular in the 1920s and 1930s. The last century in America, the so-called studio apartments. But they differed a little larger area, not an example of our housing. So, KGT is a living room resembling a one-room apartment, but much smaller in size, with a combined bathroom (though sometimes only with a toilet) and a tiny kitchenette or even without it at all. In addition, the hotel is the building itself, where similar apartments are located. It usually has 5 to 16 floors, mostly without balconies. Typically, one entrance, on either side of the stairs are apartments. They can be from 10 to 50 on one floor, on either side of a long corridor.

Apartment-room

Features of the construction depend on the type of this type of housing. There are only two of them: room and apartment. The first option is a room with a tiny hallway and a bathroom, in which there is a toilet and a sitting bath. Although the latter may not be at all. Kitchen seats are not allocated. Sometimes there is a small cot without a window, which can be adapted for cooking. The whole space covers an area of 13-18 squares.

Apartment type KGT

There is also an apartment type hotel. What it is? This is a larger living area (up to 24 sq. M.), In addition to the room, there is also a kitchen, although very small (about 5 squares). The bathroom is also combined, with a seated bath or shower. In fact, we can say that this is a full-fledged studio apartment, only neighbors on the floor more.

The advantage of such housing

Despite a very small area, the hotels enjoy a stable demand in the real estate market. And the reason for this is a fairly low price, compared with the same "odnushka." It is natural that yesterday's students or young families can not afford to immediately buy a full-length apartment, but KGT is much more democratic, and if necessary - mortgage lending to help. Of course, often, when a realtor proposes to look at a hotel, buyers refuse, considering such a dwelling as something like a dorm room or a communal apartment. However, this opinion is not correct, because, in fact, the hotel is just as separate, isolated housing, only a smaller area. And quite often you can meet and improved layout, and quite interesting variations on the topic from the talented hosts.

How to equip small-footage?

The design of the gostinoks is, of course, a complex matter, but quite possible. The main thing in this process is the zoning of space, the separation of the kitchen from the bedroom. The decorative partitions made of gypsum board, glass structures or interior objects can help in this. For example, on the border of the kitchen and recreation area, you can put a rectangular dining table or bar counter. Then the hostess will not have to interrupt the conversation with the guests during the change of dishes. The role of the partition can also be played by a rack, a computer desk or a sofa. Ideal for furniture-transformer for an apartment, such as a hotel. The photo clearly demonstrates the advantages of this solution.

This can be a pull-out bed. It can simultaneously be a podium for visual zoning of a premise, and under it boxes for storage of things are possible. Lifting bed takes up very little space. It easily goes down at night, and in the daytime you have enough space to receive guests. And you can even try and find a whole kitchen-transformer, which, depending on the situation, will divide or unite space.

If you apply imagination and use all your creativity, you can turn your small apartment into a cozy and warm nest.

So, we considered what a hotel is. What is it, we hope, became a little more understandable. Good luck in your search for housing and personal space!
