When is Little Hotelier on its own the better choice?
Little Hotelier without Staying is the better fit if you:
When Little Hotelier is the right call
- Need a channel manager that pushes rates and availability to Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. Staying only syncs calendars by iCal.
- Prefer one subscription over a PMS plus a guest-experience layer
Add Staying alongside your PMS when you want every guest to check in online, a guidebook with QR code, in-stay ordering with 0% Staying commission on the Growth plan and direct rebooking invitations.
