How Easy Hotel does it in UK
About Easy Hotel
This is a company specialized in European cities
Companies operating budget hotels in core area
This company
Through a focused business strategy
Success
Overcome disadvantage of high rent
Good development
The following is an introduction to Easy Hotel approach in terms of these aspects
First
Less amenities, but better
Limited service hotel
Easy Hotel is only in room
Provide amenities that meet basic needs of guests
Less but better
There are almost no tables and chairs in room
No small electrical appliances such as phones and table lamps
No cups, teapots or coffee pots
Except
In addition to bed and linens, there are only two light sources in room
LCD TV
Multifunctional hanger and trash can
However
The bed is very comfortable and quality of linen is very good
The overall design of bathroom is good
There is a lot of water in shower head and water temperature rises quickly
Get into water faster
Shower head and faucet in bathroom
Toilets, etc. - all first-line European brands
The amount of yarn for bath towels and face towels is also very large
Very convenient to use
Although area is small
But design and decoration is very good
Strive
Aesthetic effects when using wear-resistant building materials
Create and decorate
Significantly reduce future maintenance costs
High quality hardware ensures durability
Increase service life
Long term
Reduced fixed costs
Small, but good amenities
Not only reduces construction and maintenance costs
Simultaneously
It also meets basic accommodation needs of customers
And ensure high quality of main products
Customer recognition
Second
Favorite Location
Simple hotel
It is located in a first-class area of the city
Although not main location
But it's far from main facilities
Tourist attractions and offices are very close
And surrounding helper objects are complete
This is London
For example, Easy Hotel in Croydon
It is located near main road of city
There are 50 restaurants and 6 scenic spots within a 0.5 km radius
London City Airport is only 17 km away
Economy class hotel
Light hotel
It is impossible to find luxury real estate in best location in city center
However
Searching for cost-effective second-rate or third-rate places in city center
How to support good real estate
Simple hotel
The ability to meet dietary needs of clients
Travel, Sightseeing and Shopping Requirements
Third
Encourage self-service
Focus on self-care
Each Easy Hotel didn't leave a phone number
All hotel information that customers are looking for
Transport routes, amenities and hotel policies
Book
Etc. can be done through website
This significantly reduces burden on staff
In addition
Sell small items/hot and cold drinks through vending machines
Sure
The hotel is open 24/7
When a customer has a problem
Staff can be found at front desk at any time
In addition
To control labor costs in each store
During client's stay
The hotel does not clean rooms every day
Don't change bed linen
If you need
You can replace and clean it yourself
Of course, hotel also provides this service
Clients just need to spend extra £10 and book in advance
Increasing number of self-service items
To a certain extent freed up labor force
Reducing hotel labor costs
This made problem of "difficulty getting a job" at hotel much easier
What I said above
Make
Easy Hotel can bring significant benefits
Sell goods and services at a lower price than other hotels in same area
С
The right products and services require right customers
Simple hotel
Positioning your target customers as a desire to "sleep well"
Short-term tourists who take a good bath
It better meets needs of these customers
But it should be noted that
Such a hotel is clearly not enough
Requirements for business and long-stay guests
This shows
Easy Hotel strategy above
Finding a targeted source of customers is a prerequisite for long-term success in market
For mass consumer groups in market
Provide affordable yet quality accommodation
Satisfaction of basic consumer needs
This is cornerstone of economy brand's success
But now
Some hotels seem to be
Loss of ability to serve budget customers
Actually
If you find right business strategy
Economy hotels are still possible
In city center for mass tourists
Provide high quality and low cost products
Easy Hotel Methods and Strategies
This should be one of ideas to turn tide and revive economy hotels
