In 2013, Håvar Bauck and Endre Opdal, two former college mates from BI Norwegian Business School in Norway, found themselves living in the same neighbourhood in Nairobi, a decade after graduating. Being frequent travelers, they saw an obvious gap in the market: Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) was a major aviation hub, with no budget hotels nearby. Lacking significant investable funds, they leased five budget apartments in a residential estate in Syokimau, and marketed their concept on Booking.com and Expedia, as an airport apartments hotel. The concept was a success, and their apartment hotel was fully booked from the first month.
The success of their initial side hustle inspired them to launch a more ambitious project, to help East African hotels with their online marketing. That project became what we know as HotelOnline today.
