Hostel Hero brings bed booking to the mobile
generation
LONDON -- With access to more than 19,000 hostels & budget hotels in the palm
of your hand, Hostel Hero is the brand new travel accessory that no
self-respecting flashpacker should be without. Hostel Hero is a free-to-download
iPhone/iPod Touch application that lets you find your next bed while on the bus,
beach or in the bar.
With the advent of "flashpacking," more and more independent travellers are
packing the latest mobile technology alongside their passports and sunscreen.
Dubbed "the Swiss army knife of travel gadgets," Apple's iPod Touch and iPhone
are the weapons of choice for most. Throw in increasing numbers of "Grey
Gappers" and a growing army of credit-crunch bargain hunters, and you have a
truly mobile community who are missing just one thing: the killer application.
Introducing a new level of convenience to independent travel, Hostel Hero
lets you research and book hostels/budget hotels whenever and wherever you want.
To avoid the high costs of international data roaming, and the gaps between
wi-fi hotspots when travelling in remote locations, Hostel Hero makes clever use
of the iPhone's local storage, giving you offline access to many features.
Download and save the details of all properties in your chosen countries, then
view them even when you don't have an internet connection. Do your research on
the bus, on the beach, or even on a plane. Save your favourites for easy
reference, and then make your online bookings with a few clicks when you reach
the next wi-fi hotspot.
All the details of your reservations are also saved to the device, giving you
instant access to them wherever you are. No more addresses and reference numbers
scribbled on napkins, or expensive print-outs from internet cafes. You don't
even have to wait for the confirmation email to arrive.
Hostel Hero integrates seamlessly with Email, Phone Dialling, and Google Maps
(even Street View and driving directions), so there is no reason to get lost on
the way. It is fast and simple to use, and the offline features give you
unparalleled convenience and power, right in your pocket.
Hostel Hero is free to download now from the iTunes App Store, or you can
view a demonstration video at www.hostelhero.com.
