HOTELQUICKLY Receives a Sleek New Treatment

25^TH MARCH 2015, KUALA LUMPUR – Last-minute hotel booking app HOTELQUICKLY (HQ) announced its new features and updates over afternoon tea at Ramada Dua Sentral. CEO & Co-Founder Tomas Laboutka was present at the press event to provide insight and detail on the fast growing mobile app’s revised design.

Designed for the modern traveller, HotelQuickly is the first and most popular last-minute only hotel booking app in Asia Pacific. Obtainable as a free download for Android, iOS and Blackberry 10 devices, HotelQuickly offers the best available hotel rates that are competitively 30% cheaper than that found online.

Working alongside 3*, 4* and 5* hotels handpicked by the HQ team, last-minute bookings needn’t be expensive to achieve extravagance. With the application’s updated version 3.0.0, booking an impromptu staycation or vacation has been made even easier. Its mobile user-friendly interface makes it simple to navigate while on the go.

A simplified booking flow will also allow customers to make hotel reservations faster and more efficiently. Compressing information from numerous pages into a single page view eliminates the need to go from one page to another while securing a booking. In addition to that, the latest HotelQuickly app interface comes alive with animations and nine different languages – almost like a handheld concierge to ensure a smooth booking process! Travellers can also check the weather forecast and reviews from other customers to ensure their travel needs are met.

“We had people from every department hitting the streets beta-testing the new version to find out what people around Asia-Pacific really think of both the process and look. We’ve taken all of this research back to our designers and developers to create a truly stunning new version. It has been months of tireless work, but the team and I are immensely proud of this new rollout,” said Tomas about the enhancement.

Tomas Laboutka highlighted HotelQuickly’s new appearance and usability at the press event prior to a round table discussion about the future of mobile commerce. Together with Managing Director of Zalora Malaysia Giulio Xiloyannis, guests were provided some insight to the differences between brick and mortar, e-commerce and m-commerce while enjoying afternoon tea provided by Ramada Dua Sentral. “The significant growth of Internet Mobile and change in consumer’s behaviour in Malaysia will have a positive impact to HotelQuickly,” Tomas commented.

HotelQuickly currently operates out of 15 countries with over 190 destinations. It features more than 5,000 curated hotels across Australia, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan and Vietnam. With over 700,000 downloads, HotelQuickly fulfils all impromptu booking needs and re-defines the concept of last-minute hotel booking in mobile commerce.
