Zostel is a network of hostels and homes in India.[1][2] It has presence in 44 cities in India and Nepal.[3]

History

[edit]

Zostel Hospitality Pvt. Ltd was established in August 2013[4] by seven co-founders,[5][6] who initiated their venture with the launch of the first Zostel in Jodhpur, Rajasthan on 15 August 2013.[7]

ZO Rooms

[edit]

In November 2014, the founders launched a new project called ZO Rooms, which aimed to provide budget-friendly hotel accommodations and aggregate hotel rooms.[8][9][10][11] There were reports that ZO Rooms was acquired by rival OYO Rooms,[12][13] in an all-stock deal in December 2015, which was later denied by OYO.[14]
