Hotels.com Top Travel Apps: Hotels.com

We all know that we can just about buy anything using our mobiles.  groceries, pizza even furniture, but what about a holiday?

Here at androidbloke we are fanatical about doing just about everything using our humble android telephones and tablets.  When the wife suggested  booking a quiet getaway for the family, I thought it would be a great chance to see what apps were  out there when it comes to arranging our mini weekend away.

Finding a good holiday place

Finding a place to go was pretty easy thanks to the trusty Google maps app. We settled on the lovely town of Salisbury thanks to streetView and recommendation from a good friend.  But where to stay?

Finding a home base

When it comes to picking a place to park up for the night, we checked out the hotels.com and wow – were we impressed at how good it is.  For many people, I hear them say why not just use the website? The hotels.com app answers this question with being fast, being really simple and having really great images included in it to really show off where you can stay.

Not only is it quick to find a hotel that you like, you can also pay for it directly in-app and even check how many nights you have to stay before you earn a free night stay.

If you want a great demo of how quick it is to book check out the frankly hilarious “intro video” that Hotels.com use for their app. Could a crazy japanese group manage to book a hotel while whitewater rafting down a mountain?? Watch below to find out!
