ByHours

ByHours is a microstay booking platform that allows users to book hotel rooms for a specific number of hours, rather than the traditional overnight stay. The service caters to individuals needing a room for short periods during the day, for purposes such as resting, working, or waiting for connecting flights.

The platform typically partners with hotels to offer this flexible booking option, utilizing their unoccupied rooms during off-peak hours. Customers can select the number of hours they need, the check-in time, and amenities, providing a more tailored and potentially cost-effective alternative to standard hotel bookings.

The business model addresses a market niche not adequately served by traditional hotel booking systems and offers hotels a way to monetize otherwise vacant rooms. The concept leverages technology to facilitate the coordination between available rooms and customer demand for short-term stays. The availability and specific terms can vary depending on the hotel and location.
