Irish Hotel Bookers Budget Comes Early
12.09.2008
Irish Hotel Booker’s Budget Comes Early
In a week that the Government announced the Budget will happen 6 weeks early www.hotelsinone.ie can announce Hotel Prices are down and staying down.
The Budget
Petrol up? The Pint up? Taxes up? More then likely yes. Hotel prices up? Not a chance. The simple fact is Hotels in the current economic do not have the comfort of being able to increase prices. Unlike for example a car that a dealer cannot sell today but will be able to sell tomorrow if a Hotel does not sell a room today they can never get that sale back.
There have never been more Irish Hotels around the Country & it is a difficult year to fill them. This is good for YOU the booker. Prices are down on 2007 that’s a fact. The value out there for Irish Hotel this year have not been seen for many a year & that is also FACT. Where is the best place to find these offers? www.hotelsinone.ie that’s a FACT.

Irish Hotel Booking Trends 2007 - Who is Having Fun?
11.06.2008
The numbers are out for 2007 are it is time to see who is having the most fun.
To start with we made trips 7.9 million domestically last year and spent €1.55 billion in 2007. That is a lot of trips for a small country
Last year, Irish people spent almost one fifth more on travel than in ’06.
Older, Wiser & Living it up??
Astonishingly, the over 50’s took 46% more trips in 2007 compared to 2006. In fact, the number of domestic trips taken by the over 50’s has more than doubled over the past 4 years, growing by almost 2 million. Today the over 50’s account for over half of all domestic trips (55%), compared to just 32% three years ago.
The web has grown in importance and currently accounts for 37% of all pre booked domestic trips. With websites such as www.hotelsinone.ie giving such great offers no wonder?
Will this continue in 2008?
If bookings on www.hotelsinone.ie are any indication yes but then we have some amazing offers. Is it just us???

Booking A Business Hotel - Is Good Coffee The Real Decision Maker?
06.06.2008
OK we all have been there booking a hotel to arrange a business meeting and there a number of different boxes that the hotel has the tick before you decide to give the business to them!
Location is this suitable? Suitable size room? Appropriate equipment? Professional Service? Parking?
So all things been equal between your top 3 selected hotels what is the real factor that makes you choose your hotel? Is the personal service? or maybe it is the standard of coffee that is served during the that all important mid morning break? What?
As a coffee drinker myself I do believe that the quality of the coffee has an emotional influence! At least you know if everything else doesn’t go as smoothly as anticipated in your meeting at least the quality of the coffee will be good!
We all have been in a meeting and the coffee break comes and you head for the coffee pot pour yourself a cup that you have been waiting for. The coffee smells good and is hot just the way you like it but when you take the first sip this all evaporates as the coffee tastes like warmed up dish water! So how does this happen? Well in most hotels the coffee that they use is “instant catering coffee” this coffee comes in large containers and is grounded into a dust like form so when you get your coffee at your mid morning break you are really getting a weakened version of coffee!
So I guess we are on the look out for hotels that provide grounded coffee and not the instant version! If you have any suggestions let me know and we will give the hotel a mention!
Oh if you are look to book a business hotel checkout www.hotelsinone.ie where there are excellent business rates in great hotels nationwide.

Hotelsinone.ie Offers Bertie Ahern A Break!
02.04.2008
“Bertie - We’ll Give You A Break!”
Hotelsinone offers Taoiseach a “Dig Out” as he prepares for extended holiday in May
As the Taoiseach prepares for an extended holiday from 9th May following the announcement of his resignation this morning, Ned - the face of www.hotelsinone.ie – has denied his appearance at the Mahon Tribunal yesterday was the catalyst behind the Taoiseach’s shock announcement today and, as a sign of good will, offered Bertie an extended hotel break with Hotelsinone.
An Taoiseach looked the April Fool yesterday as Ned – full name ‘Ned Needabed’ – arrived at Dublin Castle as the Mahon Tribunal reconvened to offer “the very thing for the Taoiseach and any close personal friends who may need to lie low for a while”. Ned offered a “one-stop-shop” solution to several current controversies, from avoiding the glare of the media to storing sterling lodgements and a thrifty alternative to housing Celia Larkin’s aunts. He even asked Bertie to poke him on his Facebook page!
Carrying a large sign that read “Hey Bertie, We’ll give you a break! P.S Our prices are in Euro, not Sterling”, Ned made a personal visit to Dublin Castle to mark the launch of Ireland’s newest hotel reservation site, www.hotelsinone.ie. According to Ned, the 120 hotels on hotelsinone provide “a safe haven to anyone who needs to keep the head down after Tribunal disclosures or a value-for-money pampering break for an elderly aunt - saving you, in some cases, up to £30,000!”. Hotelsinone, he added, offers “an oasis of calm where it may be possible to recall the tiniest minutiae regarding sterling lodgements to bank accounts”.
Leaving the Mahon Tribunal – where he was refused entry – Ned said that, at a time when there are accusations of low standards in high places, Hotelsinone guaranteed high standards in all of its locations, quipping “Once you book into a hotelsinone member hotel, you’ll never say, “I just want to go home”.
Now on the day the Taoiseach has announced his resignation, Ned has denied that his dramatic appearance forced the Taoiseach to bring forward his departure date and offered Bertie a complimentary break after 6th May saying ‘Bertie, we’ll give you a bed. Just talk to Ned”.
According to Ned, Hotelsinone is a favourite with Manchester businessmen as its “spacious rooms have wardrobes large enough to accommodate the biggest suitcases of sterling notes and bedside lockers to store pouches of cash.” He conceded, however, that the website’s online booking facility did not deal in cash lodgements and took bookings in euros only, not sterling.
