Travel site ixigo moving into budget hotel market

Friday, 20 November 20153 min read
Indian travel marketplace ixigo has launched a new metasearch service focused on the budget hotel sector.
Called ‘Super Value Hotels,’ ixigo has started by listing about 2,500 low cost hotels in 80 Indian cities with room rates from Rs 599 to 2,499.
"We are making the lives of travellers simpler by narrowing down to the best budget hotels in India from among the 12,000 in our database. We’ve filtered them by amenities, location and by sifting through thousands of reviews and photos on the web," said Aloke Bajpai, CEO of ixigo.
"Our team has also visited many of our chosen 2500 hotels personally to ensure that only the best ones earn the ‘super value’ tag. These accommodations provide great value for money and hence we recommend them for price-conscious travellers. We will be rolling out super value hotels on our apps very soon, and will also double the number of cities and super value hotels we cover by December."
The ‘super value hotels’ are compared across several online hotel providers such as Oyo rooms, Wudstay, Zo Rooms and Vista Rooms, alongside independent hotels.
Search criteria can be filtered by amenities, rating, location or customer reviews.
