Individual, comfortable and low priced
We offer you comfortable but affordable hotel rooms whilst treating you the customers as individuals and as personal friends.
When you come to check-in at the B&B Hotels, we do not want you to feel unwelcomed. We will go the extra mile to make you feel at home here.
Included in the services that we provide to you are free Wireless LAN internet access throughout the hotel and free Sky TV satellite programs. Most of our hotels also offer free parking for hotel guests. You may ask how are we able to offer all these things and still keep the room prices reasonably low? Well, it is simple - The B&B Hotel group avoids costs on unnecessary, expensive or luxurious items - you won’t find marble floors, glass palaces or gourmet restaurants in the building - which in turn saves costs for our guests. However, we are committed to ensure that we maintain high standards for the hotel product that we provide to you.
B&B Hotels – a success story
Our budget type hotel chain is nothing new. It all started right back in the 1990s. B&B Hotels made a name for itself by offering great hotel rooms at affordable prices. This is what the customers come to love and still expect today. We originally started the concept in France. In those days, we were known as Galaxie S.A. In 1998 the first B&B Hotel opened in Germany. A lot has happened ever since. Today B&B Hotels is the 3rd largest budget hotel chain in France with over 190 hotels, enabling the cost-sensitive traveller to experience the whole country at reasonable prices. In Germany, travellers can also enjoy the warm and charming rooms offered by B&B Hotels at more than 44 hotels. The expansion in Europe will continue. In 2010 the first B&B Hotels in Italy and Poland and in 2011 the first B&B Hotel in Portugal opened. One thing we can assure you about - the future looks bright! We intend to continue offering customers our comfortable rooms at affordable prices.
