What Short Stay Group does

Short Stay Group is a privately held Dutch serviced apartment provider founded in 2008 and headquartered in Amsterdam, operating a portfolio of over 500 furnished apartments across Amsterdam, Paris, The Hague, and Antwerp. The company serves three primary customer segments: business travelers and corporate clients requiring extended-stay housing, leisure travelers and families seeking space and privacy over hotels, and individuals needing temporary housing during relocations, renovations, or life transitions via the SSG Resident monthly program. Its portfolio is organized into three tiers—fully serviced YAYS aparthotels with dedicated reception, 'by YAYS' hybrid properties with self-service check-in, and Short Stay Group branded apartments—offering studio to 3-bedroom units with hotel-like amenities such as housekeeping, multilingual support, and 24/7 guest service.
