Starting out as one small hostel in the middle of Barcelona, Sweet Accommodations has grown into a diverse portfolio of unique hotels, hostels, suites, studios, co-living spaces, and apartments across Barcelona, Sevilla, and Lloret de Mar — catering to a wide range of guests, from families and friends to digital nomads and business travelers.

Why it matters: Before Cloudbeds, Sweet Accommodations used a different PMS to manage its properties. However, as the business grew, so did challenges in updating information, managing availability, and creating a seamless guest experience.

Since switching to Cloudbeds, Sweet Accommodations’ upsells and repeat customers have increased by 20%, and employees are saving up to 80% of their time previously spent on manual processes. This time savings allows the team to dedicate an additional 16 hours per week to elevating guest experiences, from personalized welcomes to organizing excursions.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Sweet Accommodations wanted a solution that could help them overcome growth challenges and evolve with them.

Simplify property management: One solution to simplify management across its diverse property types
Automate guest registration: Well ensuring all the required data is sent to authorities in Barcelona and Sevilla
Handle receptionless check-ins: Given that not all properties have a front desk, Sweet Accommodations needed a solution that enabled digital check-ins
