Dubai has a new service where people can book hotel rooms for very short periods of just a few hours. The new app developed by Spanish company Byhours allows users to book a hotel room according to the time they need it.
The company was launced in 2012 and now has offers with over 2,500 different properties through Europe, the Americas and the Middle East. Users can book as low as 3 hour stays, or up to 6 and 12 hours. Hotels in Dubai that have teamed up with Byhours to offer these very short stays include Emirates Grand Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road, Royal Ascot Hotel and Winchester Hotel Apartments .
This is perfect for travellers who are stopping over in Dubai for less than one day and with enough time to get out of the airport for a few hours, as well as people comimg to Dubai from another emirate who want a few hours rest. The app can be downloaded from the Apple Store and Google Play.
