First place for HRS
HRS has come top of a major comparative survey of online hotel booking sites carried out by experts at Computer Bild magazine.
HRS impressed the jury with its cheap prices and the large selection of immediately bookable hotels. In the selected cities tested by Computer Bild, HRS offered twice as many 3-star hotels on average than any other provider. HRS was particularly far in front in terms of the simplicity and clarity of its booking procedure.
Great for last-minute trips: there is absolutely no problem about making bookings on the day of arrival. And the search for suitable hotels can be restricted using numerous criteria about the desired accommodation. Great idea: customers can have their booking confirmation sent directly to their mobile phone free of charge by SMS.
