Problem
Urban travelers often face challenges in finding convenient and affordable accommodations for short durations, leading to inflexible travel plans and unnecessary expenses. Traditional hotel bookings typically require overnight stays, which may not suit the needs of travelers seeking temporary lodging for rest, work, or leisure during the day.
Solution
Flow provides a platform for booking hotel rooms and workspaces by the hour, offering urban travelers a flexible and cost-effective solution for short-term stays. Users can access accommodations for as little as one hour, with options for rest, work, meetings, or parties. The platform partners with hotels to offer discounted rates, sometimes up to 75% off the full night's rate, and provides access to hotel facilities. Flow also offers flexible check-in times and free cancellation options before check-in.
