With the rise of digital lifestyles, modern travellers expect seamless, high-quality internet access wherever they stay. easyHotel’s rapid expansion across Europe meant ensuring uniform connectivity across all locations — a challenge that required a robust and scalable solution.
To meet this demand, Wifirst deployed a fully managed WiFi service covering over 3,000 rooms in easyHotel properties — handling every step from cabling and hardware installation to network configuration and proactive support. Backed by intelligent architecture, including robust WAN and failover systems, the network ensures guests enjoy secure, high-availability internet access whether they’re travelling for work or leisure.
The partnership is anchored in Wifirst’s “WiFi as a Service” model — a tailor-made solution built to meet easyHotel’s unique operational and budgetary needs. Flagship deployments in Cardiff and Oxford laid the groundwork for broader rollouts across the UK, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium, with each site installation carefully planned through in-depth technical surveys.
Tech with Purpose: Supporting Low-Carbon Hospitality
Connectivity isn’t the only priority. Sustainability is a shared value for both brands. Wifirst’s green IT principles — extending hardware life, minimizing waste, and reducing energy consumption — perfectly align with easyHotel’s commitment to low-carbon, responsible travel.
By combining easyHotel’s focus on great-value, eco-conscious stays with Wifirst’s expertise in high-performance connectivity, the chain now offers guests easy-to-use, fast, and free WiFi as a standard amenity.
High-speed WiFi is an important part of the guest experience. Expanding our partnership with Wifirst into two of our new Spanish properties means more of our hotels now offer reliable, seamless connectivity. With nearly 50 hotels across Europe, we’re focused on providing a great night sleep and the services that matter most to our guests. Louis Poisson, Chief Operating Officer at easyHotel
Wifirst continues to be a crucial connectivity partner for EasyHotel’s future European sites, with upcoming Spanish property launches planned in Barcelona and Valencia in 2025, and Alicante in 2026.
