When a big family or a group of friends travels, a hotel often puts them on different floors, and everyone shuts their own door; to share a late-night snack and a chat, you squeeze around the bed in someone's double room and worry about disturbing the neighbors.
So from day one Hello Stay rented out whole houses: we restored old houses in Yancheng so a group can have a whole house to itself.
We stick to two things: one group per house, and a private bathroom in every room. The grown-ups can make hot pot in the island kitchen and play mahjong, the kids have room to play, and anyone who needs a rest can go to their room.
