Ease of Travel

It’s like they saw the Geico TinyHouse commercial and thought it would make a great business model for a hotel room - they may be right. Stelios Haji-Ioannou, who brought you the no-frills airline EasyJet, now has EasyHotel - a no frills, ridiculously cheap, tiny hotelier. Featured on CNN’s Business Traveler site, the rooms range in size from 60 to 80 square feet at a maximum cost of $90 a night. However, EasyHotel might not be the cheapest option depending on where you’re going.

The hotel will have no entertainment, food, and your room will probably consist of only a bathroom and bed (maybe a window). Even the reception desk will only have one person - and he’s a robot. Alright I’m kidding, it’s not a robot but there’s only one person ever. They’re trying to capture the market above bed and breakfasts but below full hotel chains, claiming to be more reliable than a B&B.

The first easyHotel has 34 double bedrooms and is situated in a west London terraced property that used to house a 20-room bed and breakfast-style hotel.

A potential downside is that they aren’t necessarily the cheapest out there!

However, media reports suggest that easyHotel may not be the cheapest option in the area. Local bed and breakfast hotels offer rooms for about £38 ($67), which include satellite television, breakfast and windows.
