First UAE hotel on Oyo sees occupancy jump 84% in a month

Occupancy levels for another hotel owner in UAE increased to 94% in under 6 months

UAE asset owners are reaping the benefits of technology to catapult their hotel occupancy, guest ratings and customer experience to phenomenal levels in today’s highly competitive hospitality sector. Two such asset owners share how their journey with OYO has driven growth and success for them and their assets.

Abdulla Al Hashemi, owner of OYO 140 Al Hashemi Hotel - and the first Emirati asset owner on the OYO platform - has witnessed an increase of almost 20% in occupancy levels (from 65% to 83%) in just a month. The revenue has also increased 1.5 times in the same period, and the hotel is now present on all OTAs and meta-search engines with great content, photographs and ratings, giving it enhanced visibility and reach among guests. 

Similar success story is seen in another Deira-based hotel, OYO 101 Click Hotel, where occupancy went up from 69% to as high as 94% in just under 6 months. This was due to the significant improvement in hotel ratings and enhanced property information across platforms. With several such success stories, OYO is further fueling the growth of UAE’s small- and mid-sized entrepreneurs in the hospitality industry.

This has been possible due to OYO’s proprietary technology that enables hotel owners to monitor their hotels’ performance and boost occupancy levels.

“I am proud to be the first Emirati hotel owner to partner with OYO in the UAE. The company has benefitted my property significantly, both financially and aesthetically. A year ago, we weren’t aware of OYO or the difference it will make to our business. However, today, we are not only delighted but also surprised to see how OYO has transformed our offerings to customers and helped us scale the growth trajectory both with regard to our occupancy levels and resultant revenues. Now I am keen to extend and expand my association with OYO, as it is worthy of my trust,” said Abdulla Al Hashemi, owner of OYO 140 Al Hashemi Hotel.
