Townhouse-tagged listings per city on oyorooms.com (10 Oct 2026)

Our count from each city's 'Townhouse hotels in …' page; cities with none are left out. 20 of the 81 cities we checked had none. The tag includes Super Townhouse conversions, day-stay slots (e.g. Surat's only listing is a municipal community hall) and a few Palette listings; the city pages say 'near me', so a few may sit outside city limits.

About the Brand

OYO Townhouse Outlet Network

Cities with Outlets

These figures are for Oravel Stays Ltd (OYO; corporate brand PRISM) as a whole group, not this brand alone — separate from what a single franchise outlet earns.

A profitable franchisor doesn't mean profitable franchisees. These are the company's numbers, not an outlet's. A franchisor can grow on fees and supplies while outlets struggle — talk to existing franchisees and see their accounts before you decide.
