As a relatively new company to Asia, the hotel have found Guestline’s service and software first class. Even though they looked at similar products from other system suppliers, the team had no hesitation to recommend Guestline.
"Guestline’s solutions have allowed us to automate procedures and streamline operations, saving us time and money. We can control and optimise our rates effectively with the seamless two-way connection, essential for maximising revenue. As a result, we are already benefitting from the system by way of bookings and revenue in a relatively short period of time.
The on-site support from the local team has been invaluable and we know they are on hand to assist us if required.
Even though they are a relative newcomer to the market, I would certainly recommend Guestline to other hoteliers without a doubt!"
