Easytobook.com launches website redesign

[like]

Just as running water doesn’t become stagnant, change keeps us fresh and invigorated. We’ve presented our site with the same design for long enough; it’s time we changed it up a little.

The point is not only to make it look more attractive for you as a user, but also to make it easier to find what you’re looking for. No matter what type of traveller you are, we want it to be simple and even fun to find the hotel that suits you best.

Diving straight in, you’ll notice quite a difference to the home page:

TripAdvisor reviews now appear on Easytobook.com

[like]

If you’ve looked for hotels on Easytobook.com at some point over the past few weeks, you may have noticed a slight change to the information you can view.

easytobook.com in partnership with TripAdvisor logosWe always strove to provide the highest possible quality and reliable content so that our customers can make the most informed choice when booking a hotel.

However, we now list over 120,000 hotels worldwide, which demands a lot of activity on the reviewing front.  As a solution to this conundrum we teamed up with big boys TripAdvisor in order to achieve some kind of cross-platform arrangement.

Amsterdam Trio Competition winner announced!

[like]

Amsterdam Singel HotelMaaaan…this was a tough one.  We got SO many comments on the latest competition blogpost.  It was fantastic but also really difficult reading through them all and deciding a winner.  There are so many people that deserve a break, a special treat, and even the experience of a lifetime.  So we can’t give it to everybody, but at least we have one treat to give away.

First of all, thanks once again to the Singel Hotel in Amsterdam for making this possible.  Being located on Amsterdam’s central canal ring gives you the opportunity to explore so many cultural attractions of this magnificent city.  Plus, a canal cruise is a fascinating way to experience Amsterdam.

Well, I guess I should stop yapping and announce the winner of 2 nights in double/twin room with breakfast, a canal cruise and a bottle of champagne.  I already said it was tough – our shortlist was still several pages long…

Learn from Luigi about Naples, Amsterdam and Pizza

[like]

This time on our interview specials I am happy to introduce to you not only a colleague of mine at easytobook.com, but also a good friend! Luigi, or Gigi as we all call him here, is one of the nicest and most easygoing persons I ever met. Witnessing Gigi get stressed or upset about something is almost impossible as he always manages to keep his calm (it is almost hard to believe that he is Italian!). No matter what time it is, (even if it’s minutes before going home) Gigi will always be willing to help out with a problem, listen to long, unimportant stories, (mostly told by me) and to keep a smile on his face while doing it. I asked him a few questions so you will have the chance to get to know him a little as well :)

Name: Luigi Picazio (Gigi for all my friends)

Special close up with Shannon, our Facebook winner!

As all of you know, last week we announced our winner for the ‘Like EasyToBook.com and win 500€’  Facebook competition. Our happy winner (which was chosen randomly) is Shannon Reilly from Chicago. We wanted to ask Shannon a few questions about herself and we just caught her while she is travelling in Brisbane Australia. How nice!

Hi Shannon. First of all I wanted to congratulate you with the win! It must be nice to win 500€, especially if you like to travel. Tell me, how you would describe yourself in few words:

“Well, my friends always tell me that I am an adventurous and outgoing person, and when I set my mind to do something I always go for it. At the moment, I am on a trip around the world and before I left everyone told me how brave I was. But it’s really not that I am brave at all. I am just restless, and I want to meet as many people and see as many places as I can and while I can, because someday my rhythm will slow down and I don’t want to look back and say: “wow I wish I had done that”. For me, it is not an option.

Montpellier tips from our very own Jean

This week on our ‘Interview Special’ we have Jean from the marketing team! Jean actually used to sit in front of me and he always had some nice food on his desk. While I was eating my healthy salads, he was enjoying his Mc Royal meals, when I had my daily Granola snack; he was making me jealous with his yummy doughnuts. Aside from tasty food Jean has a lot more to offer. Keep reading to learn more about him.

Why did you move to Amsterdam?

The reason I moved to Amsterdam is because of my internship, which obviously I do now for EasyToBook :-) . My initial plan was to go to London to improve my English, but after I couldn’t find anything I saw that EasyToBook were looking for a French speaking person so I figured it was a sign from above!

Most Romantic Hotels in Europe

A romantic getaway is always nice to refresh your mind and escape from the sometimes boring daily reality. There are plenty of hotels around Europe where you can go with your partner in order to experience some romance and fully enjoy each other. Some hotels took it to the next level and designed a special room setting, or even their entire hotel, in order to attract couples that want to stay indoors and just be together all day long. After thorough research I came up with this list of the “Most Romantic Hotels in Europe”. These hotels are just mind-blowing! As soon as I get the chance, I will visit at least one of them with my partner.

166 Boulevard Berthier, 75017 Paris
