How the switch to Little Hotelier helped Hotel Taverne save time and generate more bookings

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Hotel Taverne welcomes its guests at a lofty 1,740 metres above sea level, at the heart of Obertauern in the middle of the Austrian Alps. The property, which is ideally located within easy reach of numerous ski lifts, has been in the hands of the Oberhummer family since opening its doors in 1952. But it’s not only its location that has turned the Hotel into a travel magnet. Walter Oberhummer, one of the property owners, is responsible for selling the hotel’s 22 rooms and for managing its bookings among other duties. He explained how using Little Hotelier has helped him to handle these tasks more effectively and efficiently, streamlining his entire working day.

Why it matters: In order to handle incoming bookings, Walter needed a system that offered a clear overview and that allowed him to implement changes quickly. While looking for a new solution that met his property’s needs, Walter came across Little Hotelier.

“We were generally very happy with the onboarding and support, and because it was easy to use, we didn’t struggle with the transition at all. It meant that we could start using the new solution right away,” Walter recalls.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Hotel Taverne is looking for an intuitive and flexible solution which is also able to optimise their online distribution easily.

Intuitive and flexible solution: They needed a system that offered a clear overview and allowed them to implement changes quickly. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case with their old system. But they’re happy with Little Hotelier onboarding and support because it was easy to use, so they can start to use the new solution right away.
Optimising online distribution easily: The integration with a Channel Manager in their previous system was incredibly expensive, and they couldn’t offer direct bookings over the website. But ever since they started using Little Hotelier, they have been optimising his online distribution with ease.
