    Fantastic for a quick break

    Better than waiting on the airport after a long walking day in between flights.

    Fab, had very relaxing stay waiting for flight at holiday Inn express Stansted, seamless and nice app interface what a great idea would recommend instead of airport lounges

    Amazing app for people travelling for business like I constantly have to. Easy to use and fast for booking a hotel when you are in between meetings and just need few hours to have a break. You only pay for the time you need the room, as clever as it gets. A must on your phone!
