The chain will let key workers from all sectors stay in its hotel rooms at a flat rate of £175 per week or £32 per night – only enough to cover the running costs of the property, it said.
This is designed to help staff who need somewhere to stay close to their workplace during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“A number of hotels under the Oyo brand have already partnered with NHS Trusts and councils to offer rooms to those in need – something we are still exploring with other hotel owners and will announce more on soon,” said Rishabh Gupta, head of Oyo UK.
