OYO

OYO is a hospitality brand that partners with independently owned budget hotels and homes, adding them to its platform under OYO branding and selling rooms through its app and website, with a large footprint in India and a presence in Southeast Asia, Europe and the US. Its parent, formerly Oravel Stays, rebranded to PRISM in 2025, while OYO kept its consumer name; the wider group includes brands such as Townhouse, Palette and Sunday, and owns Motel 6 and Studio 6 in the US. The appeal is low-cost, bookable rooms in many cities and smaller towns, often with app-only discounts. Because properties are independently run, standards, cleanliness and check-in policies, including ID requirements, vary widely between properties. Buyers should read recent guest reviews, confirm the property's ID and check-in requirements, and check refund terms before booking.
