How Ô de Casa, a 140-bed-hostel in São Paulo, enhances the guest experience and operational efficiency using Cloudbeds and integrated systems, including POS and housekeeping management.
Why it matters: Before Cloudbeds, Ô de Casa used another property management system. After much analysis and comparison with other providers, founder and co-owner Marina decided to sign up with Cloudbeds. Cloudbeds’ robust and precise system weighed heavily on her decision. In addition, Marina considers Cloudbeds to be a solution that caters well to the hostel market. “We really wanted to work with a company that was robust and attentive to the needs of the hostel market. This is essential for us,” explains Marina Moretti.
  • Connectivity with other solutions, especially POS, was another decisive factor in switching to the PMS, as it allowed the system to be turbocharged in a way that other solutions could not. Currently, Ô de Casa’s tech stack includes Glow POS for points of sale, Flexkeeping for housekeeping management, and Asksuite as a service chatbot. With these connected systems, the São Paulo hostel has managed to make its guests’ experience even more powerful.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Ô de Casa aimed to enhance its operations and guest experiences. They needed a solution which catered to their specific needs as a hostel and allowed for seamless integration of various systems.
  • Finding a flexible PMS: Ô de Casa specifically sought a system that understood the unique needs of hostels, such as managing rooms with various bed layouts.

  • Improving operational efficiency: Ô de Casa wanted to eliminate manual processes and reduce errors, which they achieved by integrating systems like their POS and housekeeping management with Cloudbeds.

  • Gaining data-driven insights: Ô de Casa wanted to be able to better forecast occupancy, understand pricing trends, and analyze guest data for strategic decision-making.
