Hotel booking checklist for business travellers
Booking a corporate trip can be difficult, especially these days when you have endless options to choose from and what seems like continuously increasing, ever-changing travel complexities. Working with some of the largest travel management companies in the world, at HotelHub we understand the challenges travellers experience when booking hotels for business trips.
Our experts have put together six key points to consider when choosing a hotel for your upcoming business trip.
1. How far is your hotel?
Location has and always will be one of the key factors when booking a hotel for your business trip. Having your hotel closer to the office or meeting venue reduces commute times and helps you save on travel costs.
We at HotelHub, a hotel booking platform solely dedicated to corporate hotel bookings know the importance of location and therefore it plays an important role in the way hotels are displayed to our users.
By default, the application searches hotels within a radius of 5km from the desired location, you can expand your search to include more hotels as well. The user-friendly UI lets you toggle between the list view as well as the map view for easy visualisation.
2. Invest time in doing business, leave the hotels to us.
Time is a valuable asset so having to scroll through an exhaustive list of hotels to find you a perfect stay is not ideal.
To save you from this and help expedite the decision making we provide each traveller with a personalised list of hotels to choose from based on organisational preference, past colleague bookings and your own travel history.
With just a few clicks you can book the best hotel for your corporate travel.
3. Guest Reviews
The hotel description page may help you narrow down your options but the decision making information resides in the reviews section, providing you with an indication of what you can expect from your own stay.
Along with our own database of verified reviews, HotelHub also integrates with third-party sources, such as TripAdvisor and AAA, putting guest feedback at your fingertips to help you choose the right hotel for your business stay.
4. Worry less about changing travel restrictions
Are you certain you will be travelling on the set dates especially with the current ongoing situation?
Travel restrictions can be imposed without prior notice leaving you in an unforeseen situation, but booking a hotel with HotelHub has you covered, you can modify your booking to accommodate the change in requirements to better suit your travel.
No more worry about the changing travel restrictions.
5. No more out of policy bookings
It can be frustrating to book a hotel and find out that it is out of policy. All that time and efforts gone into vain and having to start over is not what you would prefer doing.
Having a hotel booking tool that understands and incorporate your corporate policies into the application would minimise the efforts letting you concentrate on what is important. HotelHub, ho tel booking tool does exactly that!
Booking your hotel with HotelHub will provide you with a customised list of hotels that are in-policy for you with a clear identifying badge so that you can easily book the right hotels without hassle.
6. You are valuable to the team
During unprecedented times like this, your safety is of the utmost importance to your employer. While it may seem a bit ‘Big Brother’, having a single, centralised view of your travel plan helps your employer look out for your wellbeing and ensure you have the support you need when you travel for business.
Booking different travel segments on different sites and applications makes it difficult to keep track of travellers throughout their trip.
While booking cheaper rates using alternative booking methods might seem like the right thing to do, your employer’s number one priority is and will always be ensuring your safety when travelling for business.
HotelHub solves this problem by allowing the TMC to attach the hotel segment to the existing PNR keeping all the travel segments in the same itinerary, enabling enhanced visibility into your travel allowing additional support to be delivered whenever needed.
HotelHub understands how daunting the hotel booking process can be and so has set on a voyage to streamline to process to provide you with the best hotel booking experience ever.
