What is a hometel? Hometels combine the freedom and flexibility of home, with the experience of Airbnb, and the safety, security and services of a hotel. They provide guests with a platform to maintain routine, feel at ease and wake up the best version of themselves.
A place to live, not just to stay. A home isn’t a building, it’s a feeling. It’s a set of rules that families create and live by. And it’s different for everyone. That’s why we created room2 hometels; to give people a place to live, not just stay for the night. No archaic rules or restrictions, but modern facilities, relaxed employees and seamless experiences. A place where everyone is welcome and no two guests are the same, and we’re excited to be expanding room2 across the UK.
