This industry recognition confirms the support for and excitement around the hometel concept."A lot of hard work went into creating the concept and it was designed to push the boundaries of the hospitality sector and this has clearly been recognised by the industry as a real breakthrough. We thank the judges and ASAP for this recognition and their ongoing support, and we are looking forward to continuing to develop the room2 brand throughout the UK over the next few years." room2 has gone above and beyond the usual new hotel market requirements, such as modern design, quality bedding and free wifi.
