About us
This website is part of the UniversityRooms Group, itself part of the Travel Booking Network.
UniversityRooms, which started trading in March 2007, enables Universities to generate revenue from the Bed and Breakfast market during the vacations, when students are asked to clear their rooms. This is designed as a supplement to conference business, the main source of universities' revenue during the vacation periods.
Since 2007 we have built a portfolio of 26 UK universities who use our services. In 2010, we added our first European universities, in Spain and Italy. Over the next few years we hope to gradually add more colleges and universities throughout the world to broaden the service for our customers. We are committed to both a long-term relationship with our universities and the long-term success of this service.
If you are a university or a college and are interested in hearing more about our service, please get in touch via sales@university-rooms.com: we would be delighted to introduce you to our service and answer any questions you might have.
If you are a member of the press and would like to write an article on us, please contact press@university-rooms.com.
