Finding the perfect hotel can be a time-consuming endeavour. But brand new booking provider RoomAtlas.com simplifies matters with a unique interactive map, combining all key information sources (including TripAdvisor and Street View) to help travellers make better informed choices in less time.
On a typical booking website, the user must click through multiple dropdown lists to be presented with a list of hotels - sometimes pages long. But how does she know which to pick? Which is closest to the beach, the shops, or the conference? What do previous guests think? What's the neighbourhood like? And after finding one that looks promising, do they have any vacancies?
Diligent shoppers might search Expedia for hotels, TripAdvisor for reviews, Google Maps for location, Street View for a walk around the neighbourhood and Wikipedia to find out more about the surroundings.
But who has time for that? RoomAtlas.com integrates all those sites through a simple, intuitive, interactive map to make choosing a hotel quicker, easier and more fun.
RoomAtlas.com sources over 50,000 hotels from Expedia and Hotels.com with live pricing and availability. There's no premium for booking via RoomAtlas.com and bookings are handled by Expedia and Hotels.com for complete peace of mind.
