Introduction - These unique sites were developed by the current owners
with a vision of modernising traditional guest houses/hotels
to meet the changing needs of guests and provide a robust
long-term investment. Taking operational influence from the
serviced apartment/Airbnb market, they have created a
highly systemised, self check-in, Aparthotel-style business
model which has proven to be one of the fastest growing
sectors in the short-stay market.
Self service accommodation has boomed throughout the UK in the last few
years with many guests now valuing independence and convenience over
traditional bed and breakfast offerings. The onset of the pandemic acted as a
catalyst in changing the way people travel, with travellers increasingly
prioritising more private, self-contained spaces. One Broad Street which started
operating in 2018 was ahead of the curve and naturally met this demand,
successfully navigated Covid and remaining profitable throughout the
pandemic. Blok-74 opened it’s doors in 2021 and instantly benefited from the
staycation boom.
The trend for self-check in accommodation has remained and many existing
small guest houses across the UK have now followed suit by repurposing to a
room only model. However unlike One Broad Street & Blok-74 many of these
properties do not have the infrastructure and technology to safely and
efficiently manage an unmanned hotel operation.

Both these sites were renovated specifically with this model in mind and meet
the stringent building regulations and fire safety standards required by the
council for such operations. The properties both have sprinkler systems,
monitored fire alarms, CCTV and digital door lock systems which would all be
extremely costly and challenging to retrofit to any building.
From an operational perspective, the added levels of self-containment in the
boutique-style studio rooms and the automated remote management
processes, have removed many of the inefficiencies present in traditional hotels,
such as onsite reception, restaurants and staff/owner accommodation. This not
only results in increased revenue, but also reduces overall running costs
The streamlined operations are centralised and managed by a small offsite
team, providing scales of economy across the two sites. Housekeeping is
outsourced to a third party contractor and a trusted pool of tradesmen carry
out maintenance. There is 24 hour security/key holder via and independent
contractor who can be at site within just a few minutes if needed. A modern
suite of operational software integrates seamlessly to provide high levels of
automation. This includes a PMS with built in channel manager and guest
communication platform, digital locks software and dynamic revenue
management which can all be managed remotely.
This highly systemised structure has been created by the current owners,
allowing them to maintain a lean business that does not require their day to
day involvement and ensures an attractive proposition for any prospective
buyers looking for a highly automated guest model.
