MiStay

We feel it is unethical and unfair to be charged for an entire day when we use a room for only few hours.We started MiStay with the aim of breaking the age-old traditions and changing the rules of hospitality to make travel flexible and fair to travelers.

Description

MiStay is a travel-tech company which allows booking hotel rooms by pack of hours with flexible check-in & check-out times. Instead of the rigid full day booking (12 noon – 12 noon) being done traditionally, MiStay offers booking based on slots (8 am – 11 am (Morning slot), 12 noon – 7 pm (Day slot), 8 pm – 7 am (Night slot)). Travelers can book a room for appropriate combination of slots and pay only for time stayed. This not only fills the needs of frequent business travelers as well as leisure travelers who require room for less than a day or with flexible timings, but also gives hotels a channel to increase their occupancy and revenue per available room. MiStay has partnered with around 115 hotels across 8 cities in India (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Pune, Gurgaon). The hotels range from 2 star to 5 star hotels including some chains like Pride Hotels, Mango Hotels, etc. We only partner with a hotel if we are fully convinced after our due diligence that they’ll give wonderful experience to customers. You’ll notice that most of our partner hotels have Tripadvisor rating more than 4 out of 5, for instance. The products were developed in-house by the MiStay founders. These include: MiStay Website (mistay.in): This was launched in April 2016. This is the consumer facing portal through which one can make a booking at a hotel through MiStay MiStay Android App (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.mistay.android): Another consumer facing portal allowing users to book hotel rooms from their mobile on the go. MiStay Extranet: Also developed in April 2016, this is the software provided to the partner hotels for managing room rates and inventory.
