MY CHIC HOSTEL.COM
THE FIRST ONLINE BOOKING SITE SPECIALIZED IN LUXURY HOSTELS
Long considered as the poor sector of hotel and tourism, the hostels industry is experiencing a profound change. It’s in this movement
that mychichostel.com falls within, the first site for the booking of luxury hostels.
A basic trend
Never have the X and Y generations (18-35 years) traveled so much, especially thanks to the rise of low-cost and collaborative modes
of transport. Accustomed to a high level of comfort and quality of service, these new travellers, demanding and informed, no longer
want hostels with shabby decors and overcrowded dormitories.
To meet their expectations, hostels now offer private rooms, trendy common areas (bars, lounges, rooftop terrace with city view,
nightclub), modern leisure facilities (restaurant, cinema, pool and spa, art exhibition) and offer as well as multiple services (Wi Fi and
free breakfast, daily cleaning, excursions reservation, cooking classes or yoga...).
A quality label
Because there were no qualitative standards in this sector, My Chic Hostel, a start-up in Paris, has developed a label of excellence by
selecting the best establishments. To select hostels corresponding to a high-end quality level, My Chic Hostel reviews four main
criteria, which, combined, guarantee premium services. These criteria are the originality and /or the design, location, services offered
and popularity.
Partnership with Booking.com
My Chic Hostel also offers online booking - from all platforms (computers, tablets, smartphones) - to plan your stay in upscale and
design hostels. In partnership with Booking.com, My Chic Hostel references today 400+ luxury hostels (named also boutique hostels or
“poshtels”) worldwide, guaranteeing the best prices to its users and the possibility to book in a personalized manner via WhatsApp
(+33 6 51 007 041).
Striving to become one of the major actors in the sector, My Chic Hostel is positioning itself in an emerging market in constant
expansion.

I wonder why they're hyperlinking to Booking.com. If they joined their affiliate program, people could see availability and rates direct on mychichostel.com instead of leaving the site. that would definitely give them better conversion rates.

Hi,
This is a Bêta version, a brand new version will come soon, thanks for the feedback.
Concerning Booking, there are technical an commercial restrictions with their affiliation program, if you knew...:D

It's not only Booking.com integration I'm talking about, but also the project implementation in general. Ok, I will be waiting for the new version.
