Can I just make it clear that EasyHotels is absolutely nothing to do with easyJet the airline? To say so is extremely lazy journalism.
why should it be a surprise Mikael? After all they charge you extra for having baggage on flights!
looks like the perfect place for a quickie
easyJet does not own easyHotel!!! easyHotel and easyJet are different franchises of easyGroup!
