Little Hotelier
Little Hotelier · Sydney, Australia · founded 2006
What it is
Little Hotelier is an all-in-one property management platform designed for small accommodation properties, with a calendar, channel manager, direct booking engine, reporting, guest communications, website builder, payments, property accounting, and a mobile app. The pricing FAQ says it specializes in properties with 1–30 rooms, and the company says it connects to more than 450 booking channels. It is available on the web, iOS, and Android. From the mobile app, users can update pricing, manage reservations, and check guests in or out. The app store links customers to third-party services for guest communication, review management, contactless check-ins, and marketing. Little Hotelier does not charge to connect apps through SiteMinder Hotel Exchange, though app providers set their own prices. Little Hotelier Payments describes its processing as PCI-DSS compliant. A 30-day free trial provides access to the full product; there is no free plan. Basics is for properties with 10 rooms or fewer and up to five channels; Pro is for properties with over 10 rooms and 400+ channels. Flex has a monthly price that varies by room count plus a 1% booking fee. The company was founded in 2006 and is based in Sydney, Australia.
