One of the things that I run into being a travel agent is that information is changing all the time making it harder to book travel. I have to keep up with it to make sure I can pass it on to my clients. Though travel has nothing to do with plus size fashion, it relates in that I try to book travel for larger individuals like myself.
The latest tool available to me as well as those that are veteran travels is the online booking service EasytoBook. This website offers visitors the opportunity to book hotels in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Rome, London and Prague. Just like the title of the website there are several tools available to make booking travel simple and painless.
Selecting one of the flags that is located at the top of the page will display the page in English (UK), English (USA), Nederlands, Deutsch, Spanish, French, Italian, and Japanese. Exchange rates for the hotels is also listed. For example a person from the United States that wants to go to Rome could stay at the Hotel Veneto. Clicking on the link for the hotel opens another page that has a short review of the hotel, a price matrix feature as well as a listing of other hotels, attractions, landmarks, restaurants and transportation options.
To break things down even further EasytoBook shows the featured hotel, hotel of the month and the deluxe hotel special. I have found that when recommending a site to someone that the more information presented in an easy to read fashion means more than likely bookmarking the site for further use.
Another cool feature of EasytoBook is the easyMapSearch which will allows map access to all the hotels in a particular area. At this time this feature is only available for Amsterdam, Barcelona and Rome. Also available for download in PDF form is the easyCityGuide which show the best places to visit. Advanced search features powered by Google allow searching for a hotel by area and things around it.
All of the rooms including hotels in Barcelona are offered at up to 75% off. Because only high volume hotels are offered the rates will always be competitive to what others are offering. Booking is free whether rooms are booked on the site or calling the customer service number. There is also a newsletter available to sign up for so that deals and specials can be sent to a persons email as they come out.
Overall the navigation of this website was very “easy.” The tools are very helpful and the prices reasonable. I have already bookmarked EasytoBook for use as a source to recommend hotel accommodations for clients that come to me looking for an experience overseas.
