Meininger Hotels is specialised for young travellers, families and people on business trips, and the chain’s first Hungarian hotel is this

7,500 sqm, seven-storey building.

Beneath it, there is a four-storey underground garage helping to reduce the problem of parking in the area. In fact, the garage can also be used by the shoppers of the nearby market.

The company told MTI that they employ 50 people, and they are planning to open another hotel in Hungary, but they did not tell anything more specific regarding the issue. Furthermore, they did not say anything about their revenue plans for this year either.

According to Meininger Hotels, they have many different types of rooms from single and double ones to multi-bed rooms and dormitories. They plan to open new hotels this year in Heidelberg, München and Paris. Ten further projects are under development in Switzerland, Iceland and the USA. Speaking of numbers, in the 2017/2018 financial year, they had an

88 pc occupancy rate.
