INTRODUCTION

• Travellers expectations are continually
  changing. With millennials mainly driving this
  change, the way customers find and book
  accommodations has shifted as well. According to
  a recent survey, U.S. adults unexpectedly find
  giants such as Tripadvisor, Google or Trivago
  trustworthy sources, however the majority of
  travellers looking for hotel reviews are looking
  someplace else.
• Alert to new trends, Recommended Room, an up and
  coming accommodation recommendations platform is
  upping their game by now covering over 80 of the
  most popular locations from around the world and
  expanding their leading sources for reviews
  curation to include The Telegraph, CNN, CN
  Travel, The New York Times, The Guardian and more.

How does Recommended Room work

• The platform functions by bringing together
  recommendations from across the most trusted
  sources at a global level, specifically travel
  and tourism experts collaborating with top tier
  media outlets, and matching them with customer
  reviews. This aggregation of data enables
  Recommended Room to make an optimal selection of
  which hotels, BBs and hostels are featured on
  their website.
• The accommodations are then listed accompanied by
  photographs, price and the reviews and the
  booking process is made via Booking.com. The site
  also does regular round ups of recommendations
  per city.
• The platform has been growing in popularity due
  to its versatility and special concept. According
  to the company, they have recorded a substantial
  number of users in the past couple of years.

Succeeding from the underdog position

• Recommended Room was born out of a need to stand
  out from other travel platforms where reviews can
  be fake or inaccurate. It equally saves
  travellers time by compiling data from various
  sources and having it in one place.
• The internet can be a rather confusing place to
  navigate with overflowing information and every
  single place claiming to be the best, the
  cheapest, the most authentic and so on. At the
  same time we are seeing the rise of paid
  advertising which can sometimes be misleading.
  Our goal is to make the selection and booking of
  an accommodation as seamless as possible and
  ensure every customer can make an informed
  decision they will not regret. said a
  Recommended Room spokesperson.

Why Making Informed Holiday Choices is No Longer
a Time Consuming Process

• When arranging a holiday or any other type of
  travel abroad, people now have more options open
  to them than ever before. They can scour the
  internet for the best hotels, flights, prices and
  locations, rather than in the old pre-internet
  days where no such research methods existed, and
  booking a trip often required a leap of faith.
• But with this greater breadth of research, where
  every minute detail can be checked and measured
  against alternatives, comes an almost
  overwhelming level of information. There is
  always one more website to check, or another
  location to investigate before long, the
  budding holidaymaker has spent more time
  researching their holiday than they will spend
  actually experiencing it.

• RecommendedRoom is a website that aims to
  simplify this process, by aggregating
  recommendations on a wide range of overseas
  accommodation. There are six major cities
  currently front and centre on their website,
  Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, Rome, Paris and New
  York.

• The website also offers an FAQ list for each
  location, providing extra insight into appealing
  local neighbourhoods and landmarks, summaries of
  the likely costs of visiting, and the hotels with
  the best scenic views. In Amsterdam, key
  recommendations are for the Stedelijk and Van
  Gogh Museum, while also listed is the Andaz Hotel
  Prinsengracht for its quality breakfast.
• In Barcelona, there is also information provided
  about the closest hotels to La Rambla, and the
  best hotels with rooftop bars and restaurants.
  The page also includes a range of prices for
  available accommodation, including two smaller,
  stripped-down options in central locations that
  cost around 60 a night. In London, the site
  recommends hotels as diverse as the 500-a-night
  Savoy and the 100-a-night compact citizenM near
  to the Tower of London. It also recommends the
  Charlotte Street Hotel for families and the Hotel
  Intercontinental The O2 for couples.

• In New York, the site recommends the citizenM
  Times Square Hotel for anyone wishing to stay
  close to Times Square, and for scenic views of
  New York City it suggests 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge
  or Hotel The Standard High Line. The best-rated
  romantic getaway in Paris is the Hotel The
  Peninsula, with the Hotel OFF Seine recommended
  for its views across Paris there is also a range
  of price options provided, such as the
  100-a-night Yooma Urban Lodge, which also
  provides family-friendly facilities such as
  bottle warmers and baby washrooms. There is also
  extensive coverage of options in Rome, with Hotel
  De Ricci recommended for couples and price
  options offered all the way up to the
  700-a-night Hotel Eden Dorchester Collection.

• Because the reviews on our website are taken
  from those provided by actual users, they are
  honest and accurate and based on real
  experiences, said a spokesperson for
  RecommendedRoom. Gone are the days when
  travellers resigned themselves to potential nasty
  surprises when arriving at their accommodation
  they can make informed decisions about their
  destination without lengthy research across the
  internet.
