Rapid traction is always something to celebrate in the startup community and HotelQuickly has done just that. With its 100,000 download mark reached in the short span of three months, co-founders Christian Mischler and Raphael Cohen (read our interview with Raphael here) have a lot to celebrate.
If you aren’t already one of the many users hooked on this app, HotelQuickly has become the simplest and fastest way to book a hotel room at the last minute. This mobile app has already paired with 300 hotels in 10 countries and is available in six languages aside from English. Its popularity in Southeast Asia comes as no surprise because of the broad use of mobile applications here. Locating the right niche at the right time, Mischler and Cohen have hit the target right on the mark. Hopefully, this jumpstart can seal their success and expansion in the near future.
Update: A new feature has been added! Multiple-night booking, a heavily requested option, is now available. Although booking extra nights in advance may be more expensive than same-day booking, its convenience outweighs its cost. The prices for extra nights are similar to those offered on traditional hotel websites. More features, more fun. Happy booking!
