"I’ve worked with hostel.consulting since 2022 and the service has been absolutely vital to the hostel! They helped set up all operational systems, staff training and revenue management. It has been a complete hostel service and was exactly what we needed. The Hostel didn’t have anything setup correctly and Robert arrived and spent a lot of time starting from scratch and creating best practices and great systems for the hostel to use. This helped our operations significantly and we seen this as well in our reviews which reflected the work done by Robert and Lior. The revenue management service they continue to provide well exceeded our expectations and gave us an increase of 43% over the previous year! Their dedication to the project is outstanding and the on going support is greatly appreciated by us all! Overall The Hostel is in a much better place after the support of hostel.consulting to help us get kick started and thrive!" - Nibhan, owner - The Hostel Edinburgh
