Apply HN: Siris Rooms – African Hotel Chain

20 points

10 years ago

Millions of Africans travel everyday, most of whom are on a budget. The average expenditure per head is between US $5 and $15, which makes even Airbnb's listings in Nairobi, an expensive choice for most. The budget hotels they are forced to stay in, however lack facilities required for basic comfort; some have dirty linen and mosquito nets (we're in the tropics), difficult check in/out and payment processes, insects and at times no water for your morning shower.

Then Comes Siris, a tech based hotel chain developing in partnership with hotel owners, in a uber-like model. We partner with hotels to offer us exclusively, a percentage of their inventory, which we brand and sell as Siris Rooms through offline and online channels. We offer these hotels guests their first predictable hotel experience, while helping hotels sell unused inventory, in Kenya hotel occupancy is at 45%.

About Us.

We are friends and students of CS and engineering at University of Nairobi, and we are building Africa's largest hotel chain out of the iHub ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IHub )
