ByHours introduced the first pay-per-use system in the hotel industry. What does that mean? It means that the guest can choose what date and time he will check into and out of the hotel, paying only for the time the room is actually used.
The fact is, that people don’t only stay in hotels when they visit a city that is not their own. They also stay at hotels to take a break from their everyday lives, work, and other concerns, which is why it is so useful to have the option to rent a room for only a couple of hours.
The service offered by ByHours is also extremely useful for business purposes, allowing someone who came from far away to take a moment to relax from the journey before heading on to a meeting.
But the system that ByHours offers is not only advantageous for the customers. It is also advantageous for the hotel business, since it attracts a different type of client. The hotels can use an internal tool that will allow them to decide the price, hour packs and check-in hours they want to sell.
Their system is already in place in a number of locations, making rooms available by hour in cities like Barcelona, Paris, Edinburgh, London, and Lisbon.
