Vista Rooms, the Indian low-cost hotel network, has announced its first foray into Sri Lanka.
The company has now partnered with more than 200 hotels in 25 cities across the country, ranging from boutique hotels, to guesthouses, service apartments, private villas and home-stays.
Commenting on the development, Amit Damani, co-founder & head of growth at Vista Rooms said; “We are happy that Sri Lanka has warmly received Vista Rooms and the response we have received from hotel owners and customers has been very positive.
“Our expansion plans have been driven by our customer needs who have reached out to us expressing interest in certain international destinations. The past long weekend itself we received over 25 bookings through an emailer we sent to a select group of prior customers.”
Vista Rooms currently offers stays at around 800 properties in more than 80 cities in India. The company specialises in low-cost rooms, with an average rate of approximately around INR2,500 (US$38), including complimentary breakfast and Wi-Fi.
“We are working with our hand-picked hotels to change the perception of budget hotels. We want travellers, coming to Sri Lanka, from all across the world to no longer worry whether their bathroom will be hygienic or whether the AC will be working when they stay at a budget hotel,” said Ankita Sheth, Vista Rooms’ co-founder and head of alliances & partnerships.
