Hostelbookers claims to out-price rivals
Author: Linda Fox | 25 September 2009
HostelBookers has launched a campaign claiming it offers prices an average 5% cheaper than rivals, following research into the budget accommodation market.
The budget bed specialist commissioned a study by Reed Business Insight which suggested HostelBookers’ prices are 5.1% cheaper than those of rival companies. The study compared 908 hostels in 48 destinations and concluded HostelBookers is cheaper in 90% of cases. For five of the sample properties, HostelBookers' rates were more than 50% cheaper.
HostelBookers chief operating officer David Smith said: “We have worked hard on price, and to compete in this market you have to stand apart. We don’t charge additional fees.”
However, a spokesperson for rival HostelWorld said: “We have no input into hostel pricing policies. Pricing is an issue solely for hostel owners and managers, the majority of whom maintain price parity across all distribution channels.
"Our key focus is ensuring travellers have the best experience on our site by offering them more than double the number of properties and almost three times the choice of destinations of any other online provider.”
Overall, you can see that Hostelbookers.com really is the best site for booking hostels, cheap hotels and well, they are the leader in cheap accomodation! Now you don't have to just take my owrd for it ~ here's proof! Go Hostelbookers.com Go!!!

I Love Hostels and Hostelbookers!
This captured my attention. Just thought this is a great ad. Any other ad you see for cheap accomodation is usually flashy and demanding attention. They are usually colourful and have lots of text featuring cheap hotel prices, discounts on hotels and even coupons for cheap hotels that gain attention but are expected. This, on the other hand, is promoting cheap accomodation in a more creative way. I like it!

Hostel alternatives - cheap hotels
Hi all,
Haven't been doing much on here lately - I do apologize! I will make some efforts here soon when I am not so busy, but as the cold weather comes things are bound to slow down and I will be spending more time at home. Just thought I would mention my other blog with info about cheap hotels - in case you can't decide. Often times a cheap hotel is in the same price range as a hostel room anyway (as you can see in my hostel vs. cheap hotel price comparison). Anyway, here is my blog address:
http://alongmytravels.blogspot.com/
Some of the links (the ones @ electicmarketing.net are no longer active - I let go some of my sites sadly as I just can't keep up with it all!) However, all the info is posted to the blog anyway. So check it out if you want a hostel alternative. It has all kinds of info on cheap accomodation like how to book a hostel or book a hotel room, as well as info on cheap car rentals and even flight deals.
