Hotel Tonight on Windows 8.1 makes booking a room a breeze (Hidden Gems)

At the beginning of June, the popular iOS and Android app Hotel Tonight (www.hoteltonight.com) arrived for Windows Phone 8, allowing those on their mobile to book last minute rooms at a bargain price.
Now, the Windows 8.1 version has also been released, making this another universal app for Windows users in 2014. Let's take a look. And remember, if you leave a comment, you enter into our daily Hidden Gems contest to win a new tablet or phone!
What it is
Hotel Tonight for Windows 8.1 is very similar in design to its Windows Phone counterpart, due to Microsoft's new app-platform, which allows developers to share code between their Windows and Windows Phone creations. In addition, the apps are linked in the Store with an icon letting users know that the app is available on both platforms.
Hotel Tonight has over 10,000 hotel partners so far in 24 countries, making it ideal for those traveling worldwide. The app excels in its design for Windows and Windows Phone with its starkly minimalist and clean UI. Featuring an all-black background, apropos for that 'night' theme, Hotel Tonight on Windows 8 makes the inns stand out through their bright photos of the locations.
To use the app, you can create an account or login through Facebook, making registration stress-free. From there, you can let Hotel Tonight use your location to find deals in your immediate area or use the search to travel abroad. The search feature has an auto-complete, which makes finding those whereabouts very easy.
Once you have your area, you can further navigate by locales. Each listing will feature a snapshot of the hotel along with a price per night, user ratings and category e.g. luxe or basic. Tapping on a specific hotel lets the apps drive deeper, bringing up even more information including mapping, photos and details on the hotel. By tapping the easily identified 'Book Now' button, you can then reserve a room in seconds with a single click, especially since Hotel Tonight can securely store your payment options.
Fast, fluid but not information overkill
Let's cut to the chase: Hotel Tonight is a gorgeous looking Windows 8 app. It slick, fast, logically designed and it makes finding that last minute hotel a snap.
What I like about Hotel Tonight is that it provides all the pertinent information I need, without overwhelming me with ads, frivolous details or other distractions. For instance, once on a page for a specific hotel, the app breaks down the important things with bold headers and bullet points, including:
- Why we like it – bulleted summary of the major selling points, including location or other unique features
- Need to know – all important details you need to know, including ID, restrictions, etc.
- The hotel – how many rooms, Wi-Fi, hot tub, etc. will be listed here
- The room – size, mini bar and any amenities
- The food & drink – Is there room service, on-site restaurants and more
The way the app lists hotel locations makes it very easy to 'glance-and-go' when looking for places. Windows Phone users will be very accustomed to the idea as there is no 'chrome' here, just the facts. There is no reason I would ever want to use a web-based hotel finder after using Hotel Tonight.
When you compare what Hotel Tonight has done compared to say Expedia and their 'web app,' you have to give a nod to Hotel Tonight. Not only have they embraced Windows Phone and Windows 8.1, but they made arguably one of the nicest universal apps yet. The apps are free, useful and represent the very best of the new Windows ecosystem.
As a bonus, if you have never used Hotel Tonight, you can type in ' WINTONIGHT ' in either the Windows Phone or Windows 8 app (under 'redeem promo code') to get $40 off your first booking. Not bad at all.
Because of all of the above, Hotel Tonight for Windows Phone and now Windows 8 earns our Hidden Gems categorization.

i really like the app in my windows 8.1 update 1 pro - THE UI is asusal BEAUTIFUL , SMOOTH app nice descriptions about the various details , findings of rooms , hotel details + payments and guest i like . make app to use too easy to use !! on the go (y) <3 <3 disappointed that can't use it in lumia 720 because it's broked 2 weeks ago . ( missing lumia - my love )
-
they should improve it on start screen : ALL CITIES - I think best way to show is : ALL COUNTRIES then when we click on ALL COUNTRIES whichever country we select ( eg : UK ) then in THAT section it shows all cities as a sub menu in ALL COUNTRY
-
THIS IS USEFUL IN APP : why we like it * what we need to know * the hotel + the room and food & drink details really impressive . and the image quality gives attraction AND BING MAPS ( IN LOCATION ) is powerful feature to find path in the app . - they can improve and take more benefits of bing maps very easy to use and everything fine . THEY CAN INTEGRATE with calenders reminder in windowsphone 8.1 and windows 8.1 OVERALL IMPRESSION is really impressive . HATS OFF TEAM
-
Is there a reason you had to take up this much space to say this?
-
Haha
-
cant think of any...hmmm...
-
he was 'spacing out' while typing this
-
Bwahahaha!
-
You just spoke my mind! Why in the world did he have to take up so much space???
-
lol.. what a try hard... i guess he's got the best chance at winning now....or the worst
-
Last I checked, the app didn't have 'India' as one of it's locations. Just saying. :P
-
I used the app when I was in Vegas. I got a great deal on a four diamond resort. The app is very smooth and worked like a dream. There was an issue with the company faxing over the check in info., but it was resolved very quickly and I wasn't even charged the $25 resort fee! Overall very impressed with the app and the service.
-
So i tired the app, it looks nice to have when traveling.
what i like is : Nice UI, it gives cool details about the deal (Wifi, gym, bar...) and provide photos of the room
what i didn't like : well actually nothing, it's really nice app
if the photos were real, daym the hotels here are real clean and nice for good price (Vienna)
but i want to know, why does it only let me chose for 5 days max ? what if i want more ? -
Cool Beans for me. Up MSMobile!
-
Sounds very nice, but not available in Bulgaria yet, unfortunately... Do you have a plan to add my country?
-
First of all. Beautiful design. Didnt think it would have options in puebla mexico, but it does and very good ones. The extra info provided is very helpful. I would like to see pics and comments from the users but I guess with time that should improve. Congrats to the developers :)
-
Very smooth and beautiful Interface like Spacely said. I like it, it seems to have its sh*t together. Perfect for planning trips too Atlanta. Speaking of, the next time I go I can get an expensive room with this $40 voucher.. Extremely stoked about that.. One thing, I guess the app will automatically update the home screen when your in a different city.. Right now its just listing a bunch of hotels in my area which I don't really need...
Might edit this comment later. It all depends. So far so good though -
Daniel sir can you tell me how the winner is selected.
-
Requires support for India... I barely go to abroad on trips...
-
Downloading on my pc, will give a detailed review once I'm done... And also on my phone. EDIT: Just as Dan already mentioned, it has partners in 24 countries, and it appears like it doesn't support Noida (India) yet, but I'll try some other city for the review ;)
-
First of all, thanks for creating such a *BEAUTIFUL* app. I've used the app for one hour both on my PC and my phone, and here are my initial thoughts. FIRST IMPRESSION (8/10) Although the app is simple, yet detailed, wherever necessary. I would love the app to show me a “TOUR” when I use it for the first time on how should I use the app to discover it to its fullest (because it has a lot to discover). Example: To explain the meaning of Basic, Lux, Hip etc without having user to go to help section (although it can be done by just tapping over it but a first time user can get confused as I did!), the way to choose no. of days to book hotels, etc.. India ain’t yet supported by Hotel Tonight but I wish it does so, soon ;) ANIMATION + UI SET (10/10) I wonder if there’s any other app available in the whole Windows / Windows Phone store that can compete against it with respect to UI. This is the second example of beautiful in-app transition after Magnify BETA, which works a bit slower though! but this one doesn’t compromise on duration either. I salute the developer (Reminds me of Rudy) to redefine the meaning of “Transition” and “Fluidity” while keeping an eye on "Performance". WINDOWS PHONE 8.1 UPDATE 3 COMPATIBILITY (7/10) The app works just fine with WP8.1 but while Windows Phone 8.1 is coming out to more countries, it shouldn’t be unobvious for me to expect a transparent tile for the app. It’s not that I can’t live without it ;D but you know, WP8.1 users usually prefer to have those apps on their start screen which has transparent live tile (Which benefits in two ways: for advertisement and for quick access). You can give option to user to choose a live tile right in the “Settings” page where there’s only “location” toggle option available now. And by live tile, it should keep the meaning ;) it should show me my “Recently viewed” hotel images / info, my booked hotels info (like the time I should report there) etc… Okay, next thing is Cortana integration. I would love Cortana give commnds like “Hotel Tonight look for a Basic hotel in Chicago”. It would be cool! WINDOWS 8.1 UPDATE 1 COMPABILITY (9/10) Again, everything works just fine in my Windows 8.1 Update 1 machine. But, after I installed the app, it appeared nowhere in the start screen. I had to go to the app list and pin it there. Would love it see it do automatically. Splash screen takes a while to load the app, should be faster. I've a PC with good amount of RAM and a decent processor, so it can't be due to..... Resuming the app after minimizing it for around 20 mins, takes even longer to show up. I guess a little tweak can fix this! (Its same with most of the Windows Store apps though!) NETWORKING + SOCIAL (8/10) It sure was easy for me to sign-up as I had a Facebook account. But I feel giving user this facility can add both to pros and cons. PROS: I loved that you made a “Suggested” category that shows the top notch cities / hotels in the world. I would also be great to have a search option right there to look for a particular hotel. Next, since you’ve facebook log-in possible, you can take some legal advantage through it. Like, you can see what user has “Visited Places” via FB profile page and show relevant place hotels. (If possible. I know that can be difficult, just my opinion!) CONS: Hotels can do their own rating (like those in “Photos”) and can lead to misinformation. Secondly, it was good to see I could “Invite a friend” and save myself money if he joins. But, I was actually expecting to link me directly to Email with PROMO CODE written in there. One more thing, the text “PROMO CODE” should appear before or at the top of the code not below it. I was getting confused if my name was the promo code or not LOL! It would be also great if a user who’s booked a hotel could write a review. This section could be included along with "why we like it", "need to know"... etc PERFORMANCE + BUGS (9/10) Impressive. Works amazingly great even on low memory devices like Lumia 520. It was really difficult for me to find out some bugs, honestly. When I tap a Hotel, it pops up quickly. But if i open the hotel pictures (those behind the hotel info, not "photos"), it has a slideshow. But it keeps on changing pictures even when they're not loaded! In such cases I just see a blank black space moving left direction. It should first load, then continue. Next, "Report" button could be changed to something like ( ! ) instead of (...) when browsing "Photos" of a specific hotel. And, “Taxes" and “Fees” could be brought to the short hotel info without having tapped "book now" to see at a glance ;) OVERALL: 8.5 / 10 Sorry for the typos! I’ll add later if anything else / bug appears in my experience and would love to see it getting 10/10. That’s all for now, hope you’ll work on these ;) P.S: I tried to be honest at my best, and again thanks to the developer for creating this impressive, beautiful UI app in this era, where the world is going web-wrapping app culture, slowly. ........................................................................................................... EDIT: Looks like I just encountered a little bug that keeps displaying this image again and again. I understood what the message said but it looked like it wasn't responding. Neither "Remind me" nor Back key on my phone was working. I had to force close the app. Here's the screen shot.
-
Here's my review. Most of all I love how the information is presented/organized. Also.. oh forget about it, Gautam Kabiraj said it all. I'll let him win =)
-
looks like u r trying too hard for it.good luck man :P
-
@carlo_b @champ13
The thing is I'm a student and just finished my 12th grade, have a LOT of free time to spend before my college admission and i know once I'm admitted in there, I'll have a hard time getting back to life (Earth). And I can't do a better job than this right now while i can, so just putting some effort that barely takes an hour. And thanks for your wishes ;) -
Hey..he does this anyways...12th haan bhai..science me ho kya?:P
-
Haan yaar, in Science (PCM with C++)... Applied for B.Tech (in Comp. Sc.) and now waiting for DU's cut-off lists... :P (Apologies to everyone for this off-topic conversation!)
-
Good luck.
-
Damn!!! WTH? Today DU has scrapped FYUG courses... I'm doomed :'( UPTU is my last hope now because either I'll admit in a Govt. college or its the end of my study for now. X(
-
I agree with Gautham. The app is awesome, guess better than makemytrip. I like the way UI designed, its not cluttered with junk information and pictures are neatly shown with a slideshow. Though there are no service in India, I tried some other locations to try how it works. I liked the section "why we like it" and disagree with Gautam for a con. Most others don't give a genuine review and just partner with them for a brokerage or commission for getting customers and don't bother about the services given. I agree there should be a section for the customer who stayed at the hotel to review it. I didn't see that anywhere and not sure if its under implementation.
-
Great review as always
-
relax my man... save some of that for the other hidden gems.. ****JUST DOWNLOADED****
-
Downloading on my Windows 8.1 Lappy.Will reply to this comment after I have used it for some time :)
-
Ok,so I tested this on not on only on Windows 8.1 laptop but also on my WP8.1 620.And I must say this app deserves a solid 10/10! :o One of the most fluid apps I have ever seen/used.The animations are really smooth and I like the smooth metro UI.Coming down to what's inside the app,The categorization into countries and then cities and then hotels is really really neat.The details of the hotel(what's there and what's not there),bulleting of important things I need to know makes me love this app.All the important info required is right here at my finger tips. Too bad my country isn't in the list but making it a universal app makes me like the dev's work even more.In the end,I would like to say,well done!This is a MUST HAVE app for the people who's country is supported in this app.Really liked this app.The UI was better than yesterday's hidden gem,no offence to the respective developer :)
-
P.S:An addition I would like to make is that I didn't expect the app to have Cortana integration or Transparent tiles as WP8.1 isn't out yet(except the preview) but a functioning live tile could be a welcome incusion in future updates :)
-
Nice app with nice idea. It helps me do personal stuff from my windows phone which helps make it most personal phone
-
Downloading
-
Did I download yet?
-
I downloaded this when WPC first featured the app. As this article mentions, the app is fast and the UI is clean. It's a cool app because it caters to the procrastinator in me! I haven't had much use for it yet but will try it out next time I'm out of town and am in need of a last minute hotel.
-
Love the interface..elegant and metro inspired...love the fact its universal even more! Another example of a WP app done right and done with care and purpose taking advantage of WP features and aesthetics...bravo..welcome to the revolution!
-
Looking good !
Let me try it !
Downloading . . . -
Did it download yet?
-
I tried this app last weekend on a road trip through Eastern Washington, and unfortunately, I found the service is limited to a few large cities. The app is not very useful at all until it can cover the whole country. I was pretty disappointed.
-
Haven't used it yet, but I definitely need to look into it. I travel a lot and am always looking for hotel info.
-
Any places on hotel tonight rent by the hour?
-
Really nice app and informational interface going on vacation soon so plan on using it over others
-
Just downloaded now. The app really does take advantage of Microsoft's design language and put all the information they need to display, in just the right place so it's not overwhelming, but not so minimalistic that it leaves out details. It's a really good balance with little to no compromise (from what I can tell after using the app for a short while). The same can be said for any Windows (Phone) app that really uses the system well. There's just something about information that can be consumed without frustration, which is more rare than we may lead ourselves to believe.
-
Downloaded just now on my laptop... Right time to plan for my next vacation when I am states side
-
Seems like a great app. Love the deals.
-
Okay, trying to be helpful here :D I think it's really complicated for them to add more cities/hotels, maybe some kind of partnering up with either hotel franchises or other online booking solutions would be good? Because for me (and most likely others) the selection of cities, especially in Europe, isn't good at all. The app is really nice in terms of UI and UX, but to me it's not useful - I just try it once, like the app but can't use the service.
-
I really like the design and ease of use of the app on both windows and windows phone.
So basically I can't say THIS is ugly or THIS doesn't work right....
I just can say it's very cool app and the developers should go on with this, whatever they want to do there.
I would change nothing except expanding the partners. -
Wonderful design and Works great.Easy to navigate. In short,time savings and money savings. :)
Would be better if they add more hotels and small cities too. -
Another great Universal app! The UI is really nice and easy to use. Too bad it doesn't really cover the Netherlands well. If it would, it would be a great app!
-
Lots of dollar signs listed in the screen shots. Is it restricted to dollars or does it pick up the regional settings from the PC?
-
Just downloaded on my phone. I love the interface. Will download on my Surface when I get home.
-
I actually love the idea, it's pretty easy to use and I like the images and the ratings on the hotels it pulls up. The one thing I am not crazy about is how far apart information is spread out. It feels like I need to scroll too much on the Win 8 app to see all of the information that is presented, it feels like the vertical space is under utilized, especially on the info page for each specific hotel.
-
This app works so well it's pretty crazy that it's free. Price points on most locations seem pretty good so far and the recent update means hopefully the developers will continue to take care of the app. Will definitely continue to use it.
-
I would suggest some sort of feature that could compete with hotels.com, which gives me a free night for every 10 that I book with them.
-
Great app to find really good rates (last minute).
-
These Universal Apps really need to be marketed prominently - its a major distinction from the other ecosystems out there. So many potential advantages from having the exact same app on my phone/tablet/computer - Macbooks and Chromebooks have no answer.
-
Not something I would really use but seems well designed. Also I like the hypocrisy in the comments with everyone making nice and articulate sentences to get a chance to win the WPC contest. No "seems faster" silliness :)
-
I'm glad Apps are coming out in pairs. It's nice to be able to use the same app on both the phone and the tablet. I haven't tested out if your information in this pair cross platforms, but I have seen in others.
-
A really helpful app if you travel a lot and has clean, fast and fluid UI and also available for many countries
-
Would be better if they didnt use fb for hotel ratings since some are to be trusted(artificially boosting their rankings)
-
Need to know... Tax for the locale Deposit Fees Penalty Fees Are reservations alterable? If yes, time frame? Other than that, for the traveling executive with their Surface Pro, very nice. Except that their assistant will be booking their travel on what is likely a plain old desktop = ( The aesthetics are very calm and appealing. Great interface. Lovely logo and splash screen. Purple is a hard color to pull off but when done correctly, it is fantastic. Not much to change there. But yes, the other data prongs are a must for anybody that does any serious amount of traveling. And the "Why we like it section" could feature a "needs improving portion". Any good and honest debate acknowledges both sides. A verified reviewers section would be a nice option as well. User input is great even with the strong potential many an experience may be manipulated. TRUTH
-
Twice during my years of traveling have I had the need to find a hotel room for the same night... Twice in roughly 15 years. I doubt that I will make space for an app that I may... MAY! ... use once every 5 years. I would guess that many would feel the same?
-
lol I second that very blunt assessment. But to offer an introspective, 15 years ago, most traveling was booked over the phone or through a travel agent...
-
I actually work for Marriott (who has yet to make an official app on WP8). While the layout is nice, as a hotel employee what I want to see are associate rates. I'm not sure if information like that could be integrated into this app, but it would be nice to compare offers with special rates included.
-
Awesome example of universal design. I was trying to use when i was traveling to greece, but it lacks of info about it. It is totaly cool app, but it needs to have bigger DataBase ASAP
-
Nice looking app, but not too sure how often I'd use this. Nice spotlight, though! Keep 'em coming!
-
I have not been out since I downloaded it so I can't comment on the actual booking process but the app itself is easy to get around and the deals seam to be good and it looks great.
-
Love the Metro UI in this app, works very well and looks clean. Major props for making it a Universal Windows App. We need more developers to convert/design apps using that model to take full advantage of the platform.
-
Well designed, works well on my Surface RT. Would be nice if it would link to Bing Travel app to learn more about the locale where the hotel is located!
-
I rarely travel but I actually really liked this app. They don't make you register before taking a look around. The layout is simple and easy to understand. I was able to search for a location and found a number of good results. I really liked how you could use the slider to adjust the number of days for your stay and it would update the price to reflect the days. I also liked that it had large photos you could browse through for the current selection to get an idea of what the place would look like. One other thing that was nice was the badge for each hotel such as Basic or Solid to reflect on what you should expect.
-
The app is really helpful for people who travel a lot!! Basic info about the hotels really lets them sort hotels out according to their preferences!! A really nice app.. :D
-
Nice, uncomplicated, smooth. Great addition to the genre.
-
The app has nice graphics and is fast when opening the app and also when we search for the hotels..But it lags in providing the details of the hotel..Its pictures also loads very late..Tried on a 820(same performance in Wifi and 2G/3G)..So that's why am sayin it lags don't know if its only in my phone..The prices mentioned are too high in the same hotels and inns I had visited in a trip 3 months back..The app has just come on WP and WIN 8.1..So hoping to get some bug squashing and feature loaded updates in the near future..Otherwise helpful for travellers..Kudos to the Devs as its a universal app!!
-
Nothing against the app, but after having already been featured on WPCentral, how is this considered a Hidden Gem? Seems to me that Hidden Gems should be apps that have not already had front page articles. As far as the app goes, based on the screenshots it looks like a nice polished app. Not sure that I will ever use it as I rarely travel and need a hotel. It is nice to see quality apps being created for WP though.
-
Its a Well designed app & its universal ... That should count for something right ? ;)
-
Love the app interface. It's smooth and provides a ton of information. The locations seem to be a bit limited, though. I will definitely use this on my next trip!
-
Great app. Works fine on my Lumia
-
This app need a better background, I understand that it's night but the black make it difficult to really see the beautiful pictures, but I love the layout and the deals seems good.
-
Which countries are supported? Is Austria included?
-
The UI is very nice, clean and follows the modern UI style. There are not many hotels to choose from for the city I looked up. Descriptions of the hotel are short and concise. Got to say it is a very nicely done app.
-
Unfortunately doesn't support where I live but the more official apps come, the better and healthier WP ecosystem gets.
-
I find the app icon very sleak and straightforward! And that UI is a complete gem (pun intended). Don't you just love the simplicity and its elegance. I do wish i have my computer with me to test out the Windows 8 app but on my phone it's just a joy to use. Im not gonna use this as a daily thing though haha.
-
I like the layout very modern nice...is Room 112 available cause thats where the playa's dwell...
-
Not very useful in Scandiavia right now, but it will hopefully save us some $$$ when we are on our roadtrip through NY, NJ, PA, WV, TN and MI later this year. The UI is good and easy to navigate. Good that I could use single sign on with my Facebook account. The map and navigation option is also very useful when visiting unknown spots (like we will on our roadtrip).
-
Such a great app! Android friends have been using it forever, the app itself is great and it looks and feels good on the windows phone too! So pumped it's finally here!
-
Man I don't use windows 8...sad :(
-
Universal Apps Rock! The more devs leverage it, the harder it will be to ignore this platform.
-
add achievement logo/symbol for the user xD eg: how many have you travel/distance/foods/etc
-
This looks like a great app for people traveling to major cities. If you're out in the boonies though, you'd better have Trip Advisor installed along side it. Hopefully they continue to add more cities going forward.
-
Unfortunately it doesnt support a lot of cities, like hole of Europe cities.
-
Gorgeous looking app. Would like to see more supported cities and hotels up here in Canada. Going on a road trip soon, so I definitely will try this out.
-
More cities definitely need supporting her in Canada...
-
I could have used this app last week when my family was traveling. Priceline ended up giving us a hotel that didn't actually have a room. This is by far the best interface of all the hotel apps I've tried. One issue I did have, however, is trying to make sure I'm getting a double queen room. Does that happen during the booking process that I didn't go through?
-
Looks like a great app for those of us that do motorcycle touring. Makes it easier to find those discount hotels instead of hit or miss.
-
Can't quite comment intelligently yet, but I'm taking a road trip to North Carolina next week and intend to use it extensively. Unfortunately won't be able to share any thoughts til then. :/
-
Okay, I downloaded the app as I wanted an app like this one .
First of all, I loved the UI. Its great ,no glitches and its fast.I pparticularly love it because of its easiness to use .No complaints from me.
Thanks for the promo code, I'll save some money!
Woohoo.
Thanks devs, I appreciate your work. -
I was really surprised that the app also offers hotel rooms in Belgium. :)
-
Looks promising but the app needs to cover more cities outside the US.
-
One criticism...please take advantage of the live tile on both WP and Windows versions...I envision some beautiful photos of properties as well as deal alerts etc to make use of it. The windows tile especially has the option for the largest tile but just sits there all purpley...nice color but needs to flip or slide.
-
I like the layout of the app and the fact that it is mobile compared to Expedia. Having a picture of the hotel on the price search page is good. And the ability to see all the hotel details and pictures is really good. The thing that is missing are user comments. Web sites that allow you to do the same have a lot of comments from customers which are lacking in the app so far. Also when I looked for options in my city of Austin for a stay-cation there was only one hotel listed for downtown and it was expensive. I won't be able to use this app until they can establish relationships with more hotels in the target areas I want to go to. If you're willing to wait though I think this will be a really useful app to have.
-
Looks like it's definitely worth a try. I'll try it next time I need to book a hotel! Can't download it now because I'm way low on space on my Surface 2 - this will not be a problem any my Surface Pro 3 arrives tomorrow (hopefully).
-
I'm glad we have this for those who can make use of this. For me though, I can't see myself using this very often if at all. I don't do spur of the moment travel. I hope they keep updating and refining it though. Our platform of choice can use every quality app available.
-
good way to book a room, we need more work apps like this.
-
Wow. I'm not sure where my criticism would be for this app. It's quite beautiful, fast, and efficient. I'll be using it over the next few weeks and maybe then I'll have some complaints but, right now, it's very nice. Well done!
-
Have this app already. Its really helpful during travel
-
Like others have said nice clean interface. Feel like the menu options could be improved. Making it easier to find and search cities covered would be very helpful. As long as you are in a covered location, looks like a great service for finding a deal on a room for the night.
-
One of the best apps to book for cheap. Also it has a beautiful UI,nicer animations and is pretty straight forward.
Wish it was useful in more countries and option for sort is important. -
Great to see on both platforms! But when I installed it on my Nokia lumia 920 it had a tendency to keep crashing Posted via the WPC App for Android!
-
Great UI. The photos, even for the smaller city I live by, are really awesome and, in my opinion, give a good representation of the cities I have looked at. Also like that it is a universal app. Always love to those!
-
It appears to be a very useful application. Makes finding that perfect hotel super easy without being too much. And it's free!
-
It really is a beautiful app, nice and clean UI, functional. I had no issues with the app. The extra discount is great, will definitely use it
-
Beautiful app
-
nice app with clean interface. it'd be nice if it has the option to show more pictures
-
I've got the Windows 8.1 version on my laptop, and it's great. Sadly, I didn't have this before my last few big trips, but I will definitly be taking this (and the WP8.1 version) the next time I travel. Saves loads of time.
-
I'm glad we keep seeing more and more Universal apps. It's what really sets MS apart from the others. This app would be great if it integrated a bit more with Bing and you could find a hotel with certain types of food+drink around it.
-
It's a great app. Really fits into metro kind of design of Windows and Windows phone.I like it.I like that it shows the imagery of hotels.Aesthetically, pleasing as well. For frequent travelers this app is pretty much mandatory. Hope it comes soon to India.
-
Love the UI of both the Win8 & Windowsphone app. That's how apps should look like!
Can't for Universal apps to take off!
Its a well designed app & very helpful ... Gives a lot of data about the hotel ... -
Actually the app is great but I Don't use it.
-
I used this app recently when my wife went out. We needed a hotel, literally, that night! And we found some!! Unfortunately they were all booked that night. So we didn't get one. But the app was cool!!
-
Very well designed app, I like the way the info is presented. The dark tone of the app also helps if you have an amoled screen. Overall a decent app, will give it a try next time I need to book a hotel, and see if it's better than booking direct.
-
I have not used it, nor do I have any use for it. However, this app sounds awesome for those who just want to cut to the chase and not be put on hold. Also, people who don't care what hotel they go to, if they need somewhere to spend the night and they don't care, this should work great.
-
Looking forward to using this on our next trip away from home. Will be nice to have eveything in one app.
-
I like that the app is quite smooth. My one gripe with it (at least in the Win 8.1 version) is that hitting Enter in the search box doesn't actually initiate the search...you have to click on the suggestion to get the search to go.
-
Nice app, simple and fluid but needs more Europe cities and more languages support
-
This app is not useful for most people, but for those who look for a hotel frequently it will be most beneficial. I can see myself using this when planning a vacation. I like way hotels are rated, solid, charming, basic ... etc. I downloaded both the win 8 and windows phone app, and while the design isn't horrible, I prefer how the windows phone app looks and flows. Mainly because the windows phone app fills the screen where as this one has a lot empty black space. I do like the slider for # of nights staying, great way to filter the hotels. And I do like how the details of each hotel are broken down, "why we like it", "need to know", "the hotel" ... etc. App seems to run without any hitches which is always a major plus, but as I said I prefer the windows phone version. I am sure more cities will be added as there are countries that are not listed.
-
The reason the Windows 8 version is not filling the whole screen is probably because it is a universal app. With the universal apps, they are stretched to fill the screen they are running on, I am pretty sure.
-
This sounds like a very cool app to bad i don't have a secure working phone to download.
-
Like the layout, nice and simple. The app is a bit clunky though. It needs more hotels too.
-
I allowed it to use my location. Now I can't figure out how to change the search location. I'm at the airport and want to know about hotels at my destination, not here. Lumia 1020.
-
OK, I managed to change the location but found nothing much better than the rate I booked yesterday on the hotel's own website.
-
Open the app, then hit back. Yeah, makes perfect sense. I thought so, too.
-
Naviating the app is easy which is always a plus. I would like to see more information avaiable when it comes to what speiality of food a particaular hotel my specialize in. For example some hotels serve great steak others it could seafood etc... Also I hope the selection of hotels diversifies over a period of time.
-
Great app with a clean layout but needs help in the serch department. If I'm in the app I should be able to just start typing and have search take over wether it be cities or hotel names, etc. Other than that the Need to know info is killer. Like you said, all the info without overload. This one will stay on my Surface 2 for sure.
-
Hidden gems ..... or naughty corner ;)
-
Do you sit in the naughty corner alot?
-
This is a really good app. It would be great if there was a larger selection of hotels to choose from but I suspect this will come with time. For instance, I was only able to find two hotels in Brighton which has tens of hotels to choose from. The ability to see the rooms, reviews, facilities and availability is very useful as is being able to book right from the app.
-
Booking a room is always burden...
But...
With "Hotel Tonight" it is fun. :P :D -
The app on Win 8.1 is simply beautiful. Smooth transitions, very classic Metro-style UI. The thing is, I'll *never* use an app like this. Why is that? Well, I can count the number of times I needed to book a room *tonight* on...well, no hands. I've never, ever done that in 24 years of being an adult. I mean, tomorrow? Sure, I've done that a couple of times. But tonight? No way. Who does that? Only the "oops I'm too drunk to drive home" crowd I guess. Because, let's say I plan a last minute trip to Vegas. It isnt going to be TODAY! Now, merge this app with Trip Advisor or Hotels.Com or Trivago....and now we're talking useful.
-
Different styles for different folks. I travel ALOT. I almost never book a room until the day I need it. Who knows where I'll be tomorrow!
-
just finishing a business trip. Will have to check this out when I get home. Great to see apps bring released on Win 8 and WP 8 at the same time!
-
I have not yet used the app to book a hotel room, but looking through the app on Windows Phone, I'm rather disappointed. First, when you open the app, it is localized to where you are. You can look around all you want in the app from there, and you can't find a way to search for a different location. It just isn't there. But then when you give up, and decide to get the heck out of the app, and you hit the back button, viola! There it is. Nothing intuitive about it at all. Counter that with my boss, who installed it on his iPhone when I mentioned the app, and he was searching while I was searching for how to search. This is no way to implement a UI. Second, the discounts that I'm seeing in the hotel prices are nothing big. $5 off a $75 room, $30 off a $220 room.... You get the idea - I look at these and I think, "I can beat that on priceline without even thinking about it, let alone other sites, including sites that allow you to have hotels bid on you." I seriously doubt that I'll book a room through this app, but I'll probably keep it around for a while just to see if a really good deal does pop up.
-
Slick UI and good presentation. I don't see anything that would make me not want to use this app. The details provided answer the questions I usually ask about a hotel. Thanks!
-
I wish I had the money to travel in order to use this app. :-)
-
Here here lol
-
I installed it on my WP. I like the interface but I wish it would have a better search based on country. When I searched for Germany, nothing came up in the results. But I see that Germany is listed when you scroll down the list. I also wish that there where more countries and partners.
This is a good start and am waiting for further updates. -
I just downloaded the hotel tonight app on my Nokia Lumia 625 and the first thing that came to my mind was "fantastic". I was awestruck when I used the app for the first time and here's why -
The loading is smooth and fast. The animations are nice and swift, especially the bed that magnifies and faded out just after loading.
The menus and tabs are smooth and the list of cities is appealing, the transition from the list of cities to the search page is extra-smooth and the search is efficient and can be used for "in-between-the-letters search"
The country selection method is quite revolutionary as most of the apps use a scrollable-list based selection whereas Hotel Tonight uses the index letters method to select countries (although its, sometimes a bit confusing to find and select the correct country code).
It's clearly visible that the Dev has put in a lot of sincere efforts in creating this app and has tried to revolutionize the layout of apps, loading times and smooth, for animations. I'm totally in favour of using and recommending this app for booking hotels while on a journey (especially an unplanned or unexpected one). Now all that needs to be done is add support for more countries but its completely upto the Dev. Keep up the good work. -
Don't have much need for this personally but +1 for Universal App! The number of hotels looked pretty low though.
-
The UI looks solid, but it does not yet support my area. So my constructive comment is to keep expanding the cities and hotels covered so more of us could use this useful app. I would actually use it, if it worked in my city which is Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
-
Hi there! Update and good news: HotelTonight is launching into Edmonton and other cities in Western Canada on Monday! http://www.craveonline.com/lifestyle/articles/731167-are-we-there-yet-ho...
-
Last minute and save money. I like the idea at least
-
Fantastic app!!! I live in California and have family from san Antonio to Pittsburgh to new York to Orlando to Puerto Rico... It is so helpful to have it when a sudden trip pops up and you need accommodations fast and as close to the family as possible!
-
I can't imagine ever needing this app! Even if you did need a bed for the night you'd be mad not to use an app with a much bigger database of hotels - the Agoda app for example. I didn't do any price comparisons though so maybe there are significant discounts? The app does look great. Credit for that.
-
When you select a hotel on WP the pop up menu with the "book it now" disappears to allow you to swipe through some pictures. Another tap and it reappears. The overall design is nice and I'll certainly compare it to others when I go to book my next room. It is displaying hotels from my home city on the start-up using current location. That is not really necessary as I'm never going to search for a hotel in town. At the same time I can see why that would be usefull if I were somewhere else. It displays recent searches which is great but I would like a way to save favourite destinations as well.
-
This is a great looking app on both windows 8.1 and windows phone 8.1. Its very minimalist and sticks neatly to the metro style. I cant see myself relying solely on this app alone as it doesnt have enough cities listed, hopefully this improves over time. As it stands if I'm in a rush to find a hotel as is quite often the case I have a feeling this app would let me down.
-
Overall nice UI im from India waiting for indian hotels to be added...!!
-
Very nice, easy to use app. I love the interface and how clean and sleek it is.
-
Just downloaded this app and while I must say that the performance is very smooth, but the app could provide a more comprehensive support for more cities so that it can position itself as the go-to app on Windows 8.1.
-
Maybe if some more dutch city's are added, it has only two cities now. Also i found no option to change the valuta from pounds to euro's, but maybe this is because i didn't create an account yet. Also the prices in these two cities are still a little to high for me. But besides that the app looks really beatifull and i think it works really well for those wo can afford it
-
Downloading the app. Just wondering whether it works in India! Anyone from India tried it?
-
Windows 8.1 Version
PROS
UI: The app has an good UI that is pleasant to use and easy to learn. One other thing thats nice about the UI is the preview pictures about the hotels and the cities. When you choose an hotel you can see a slider in the upper right corner, you can change the length of your visit in the hotel by just simply sliding it.
Functionality: The app gives detailed information about the hotels, for example has the hotel an WIFI, which is an important info to all geeks like us. The app also has an pretty good integration with bing maps, which can be really usefull sometimes.
CONS
UI: It would be nice if the app could have some backroung "wallpapers", maybe pictures of recently viewed hotels. Also an World map would be usefull to view the countries, it could be integrated with Bing maps.
BUGS: I found two bugs in the app. First you have an problem with Facebook integration. When I tried to sign up to Hotel Tonight with my Facebook account I got an error message, even though my internet connection was just fine. The second bug I found was when you went to view the hotel from Bing maps and tried to change the type of the map, the names of the different map types were written in chinese (i guess).
Conclusion: The Hotel Tonight app is an really good app which I would recommend to use, althought it has some small bugs that could be easily fixed in a software update. -
Credit to the dev for this one, looks really slick. Credit also for not needing my email address to use. The map feature is superb, helps barrow down the choices by local area. Would be nice to see a distance calculator, so I can check how far it is to any site of interest. For example, I had to visit a university in London last year, but had difficulty finding a hotel nearby as there were so many options. Would be nice to enter in my area of interest and have it show me them by proximity. Also by price. Very nice app.
-
I got the "Hotel Tonight" App on Windows 8.1 for my Surface 2 and I have to say this App has been built very well. For starters it's very fast and easy to naviagte. It gives all nearby locations to you, where you can browse hotels in the area. The service is also excellent because it gives you the best deals which is important. The prices for some of these hotels are not bad at all and I would consider using this App for booking a hotel if I was travelling to a location the App supported which brings me to my only bit of criticism. The service doesn't do Hotels in the smaller places or even large towns. However this is something that will most likely improve over time but if you're going to a place like London or Dublin this App is very handy! The App(s) could also be made better by giving options for how many guests you have and update the rooms and pricing so you're not misled. I really do like this App and would give it 7/10.
-
Love to see this app come to Windows. Downloaded it for WP a little while ago and now on my Surface. I have friends that swear by this app and they are right. Its beautiful, runs fast and is funcational. I like how the WP app jumps right into local deals; the Win version should do that as well. Also, I think alerts would be nice. So you put in a future date, city and price and the app alerts you that day with options.
-
I would use this App even if just to check out what rooms looked like before making a final decision as to where to stay
-
I've been an Android user since the start (of Android) and one of the reasons I'm switching over to WP is the universal apps. I like how MS is converging all their devices and services. PS - Can't wait for the launch of Lumia 930!
-
Pros: Simplicity and User Friendly App
Slideshow of Hotel Pics at background made app look more dynamic
Prices are fairly cheap
Decent Information of Hotels are provided Cons: Cannot cancel the booking nor refunded
Could be better if allowed to book rooms for any day not just tonight
If allowed to select Room Types for preferences. -
Tried out this app on my WP8.1 L520. Really good design, love the fill screen photos. The premise of a room for tonight and not in advance is very clever and the app sends to work smoothly. I'm in the UK, and the app found my location quickly and displayed a handful of Glasgow hotels. The prices were on USD, not sure if that's because over changed my region or if it is a US centric app. Couldn't see a way to list prices in different currencies.
-
Nice looking interface and I like to quick summary of the hotel. Very useful app if you travel a lot, i think it can be used very nicely with SkyScanner - but again the usefulness of the app will vary between everyone. It looks very useful though to book various hotels from within the app to make things easier; and hopefully those universal apps keep coming!
-
Really nice UI and very easy to navigate. What I did find a little annoying was that for large cities like London, you couldn't search for individual towns that lie within London's boundaries in the search bar, you have to go into the London page, where London was split into London East, London West, London Central, London West End. If you'd arrived in a new town and wanted to stay for the night it would be easier if you could just type the part of the city you are in (or are heading towards) in the search bar and then either get taken to a list of nearby hotels or to the map to have a look around.
-
The Hotel Tonight app is absolutely smooth and very responsive. I love the visual layout of the application. The information given on each hotel is very informative and factual. I think it could only improved with local scout integration or at least the ability to see nearby restaurants and entertainment. Also, I wasn't able to prompt navigation not sure if I needed to create an account for that but voice navigation integration would be superb. Keep up the good work!
-
Well... It looks slick, but clearly not put together by someone who understands Metro. Practically no use of the Pivot for example. It's very hard to find a hotel that's not in your immediate vicinity - why no Search screen or button clearly and consistently available? The mail is nice, but why can't you point to a spot on it and get results for that location? Also, frankly, they lost of covered cities and locations is very limited. I eventually found out how to search for a particular location, and went looking for places near a number of beach vacation sites on the Eastern US. Other than the Jersey shore, which frankly is to be avoided, there was almost nothing. Looks like it might be useful for a road trip or if your flight is cancelled leaving you stranded, bit not much more. It needs to be redesigned to use Metro properly, have a decent search capability and user the map for searching.
-
Overall I like this app. Once again I'm probably the wrong audience (since I don't do last minute bookings very often, I'm just far too nuerotic.) Having said that, if I wanted to take a last minute trip somewhere for a weekend get away this would be pretty useful (and there are several places w/in driving distance listed.) I'd note only 2 things: 1) Personally I'd like to be able to click to see teh hotel location on a map. Especially in a city like Chicago, where a few blocks may make a huge difference (if it was there, I couldn't see it.) 2) The slider to add extra nights is a bit confusing. At first I didn't even notice it, then when I did I was already on a specific hotel's page, and so sliding it did..nothing, it just snapped back. Presumably this was because the hotel didn't have multiple nights available (eh, it happens.) but the lack of any explaination or error message was a bit frustrating. (Eventually I figured I could back out to the city page to get the slider to work without problems.
-
The app has a damn good Metro style UI no doubt.
But then major drawback, I'm from India and I don't travel outside the country much, so the app isn't useful for me. If they add Indian cities, then I can definitely know this app better. As a person who's never been outside the country and doesn't know much..can't contribute too much.
My brother lives in Fort Collins tried looking that up, couldn't find it..So went for Denver. The bookings open at 9:00 Denver time so you have to wait and the 'countdown' doesn't work the clock shows 0:0 and screen flickers, that's a bit irritating. But does seem like a useful app for people who travel and make impromptu plans.
Overall Damn useful app for last minute bookings. Would be great if it came to other countries too.
Like the theme, like the UI.. :) -
Not to sound like one of "those people", but it'd be helpful if the app would show where it's getting the pricing information from. For instance, if it is getting the price quote from the hotel itself or from a service like Priceline or something, that matters.
-
The Hotel Tonight app is very easy to use. I've actually been using this app as a reference while traveling and it works good to see which hotels are trying to fill rooms at the last minute. However, I havent found the need to actually book a room through it yet. Many of the offers are actually pretty good. But some aren't any better or are worse than what you can get on your own. Particularly, if you normally get a senior discount, a AAA discount or a government/military discount for hotel stays, you'll probably do better with those rates than with the rates Hotel Tonight supplies, and sometimes considerably better. But when those discounts arent available Hotel Tonight could be a descent alternative. Just be sure to compare rates before booking through the app. Here's an example of a Hotels Tonight rate for tonight at the Westin Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Normal Room Rate = $329, Hotel Tonight Rate = $199, AAA & AARP Rate = $296, Government Rate = $186 As you can see, depending on the hotel and the rates you do or do not qualify for, the app can come in handy. As mentioned sometimes the other discounted rates are better than the apps rates. And for more moderately priced hotels the rates will be closer. I've also noticed that sometimes when a hotel website says that no rooms are available, you might be able to still get a room through this app, and probably with a slight discount. Overall, I do recommend it just be sure to compare pricing as you normally would.
-
This app was helpful for me when I had unplanned extended stay in Vegas. It was super easy to use it.
-
The UI is nice, but the problem with windows 8 apps is that its hard to compare other sites with the app information. Also, not enough hostels - they need to compete with Hostelworld if they're going to appeal to world travellers.
-
It easy, clean and helpfull. Love the design.
-
Not available for my location (Cyprus) but i like the UI and the details for each Hotel. Navigation is easy. Thank you.
-
The app is still in infancy.....24 countries and select cities is not much....Not to mention it doesnt work for my country India
-
looks great! will be helpful as I travel
-
this is excellent and convenient on windows phone so i'll get it for my yoga 2 pro as well. plus i got a $40 credit for downloading on my phone and signing up. very useful when you're in a rush, and good prices too. good stuff
-
Beautiful UI, attractive and smooth. Limited places in the UK covered though, and it's a shame that "last minute" just means the same day. It would be much more useful if it allowed a day in advance.
They are both "problems" with the service though, not the app itself. -
Great looking app but too few hotel in my opinion
-
Indeed the app is very fast and fuild and desgined very well but like many others have said it lacks many of the hotels in my area. I don't really stay at hotels that often so i'm not the targeted adudience for this app but the intergation with bing maps is what i like most about it and with an update to add more hotels i can see it being top hotel app in the WPstore.
-
+ Great UI
+ Full screen map
+ Much details
+ Direct booking
+ Much hotels
+ Ability to create account from the app
- In the Netherlands only Amsterdam supported
- You're able to choose a country, but it's a bit hidden (tap country name in cities list) -
Have to say they should have more locations. Other than that it had a very nice UI, very easy to use and features great hotels unfortunately the city I am currently staying in isn't in the list of places.
-
The app is totally legitimate for finding a good deal. It got me downtown Chicago on a weekend for $130. I wish I had found this sooner than I did. Thumbs up on the mention, guys.
-
Very nice looking, simple and easy app, but: only few hotels in the cities, even in Berlin, only few Polish cities (found only Kraków and Warsaw), too simple room info - beds are so important (ok, maybe there is some more info during booking process, didn't check). But local user currency is very nice, no need to convert. I'll wait for more European countries and cities to use it.
-
I downloaded the WP version and, as other here said, the transition effects (especially when magnifying photos in detailed views) and the simple design of the app are both superb. The amount of details and photos of the rooms and hotels are also good. Search hotels on a map of the city is also a good thing because I like to choose hotels close to tourist attractions or near points of interest. But I think search options are still too limited in this version of the app. There is also a big thing missing... It definitely should have an option to sort the results by price. Or maybe an option to search or filter results by category (5 stars, 3 stars, basic, and so on...) An option to specify more than 5 nights would also be welcome. I will try it on my next trip, but certainly I will compare its results with other search tools, as booking.com
-
Like others, I don't travel but a few times a year, and I book well in advance. Thus this app won't make it onto my phone. Based on the screenshots alone, it looks like a good app for those who need to book rooms with short notice.
-
It looks very nice. Good design and I like it. It´s really nice to see more essentials apps on Windows 8 and WP8.
-
Is this one of those discount hotel services though? The hotels always reserve the lowest quality rooms for thins like Hotwire :/
-
ON Lumia 1020, PROS - Attractive simple uniqe interface (really love the UI)
- Transition between pages is smooth and nicely done
- NIce and beautifully integrating the map with the apps
- Direct informations need by traveler or tourist CONS - It takes a long time to start the apps
- Need a lot of improvement on adding more countries. Like seriously.
- Need an exit confirmation button before exiting the apps
- I had turn on my Location (GPS), but it did not detect where i was
- Lags a lot on showing the content
- Adding a seach button to seach for specific hotel
- Didn't show any place where i can comment or rate the selected hotel
- Didn't show any contact or references for the selected hotel
- No calendar to select which date the customer to choose from SUGGESTIONS - Need to put setting buttons to configure what to show and what not to show
- Maybe a currency converter, or put it in the setting whereby you can easily change what currency you want to use
- Maybe add a button or something, showing the POI near to the hotel selected
- Adding not just Hotel and Apartments, but Hostel and Motel too NB. Sorry i comment a lot. I do travel a lot. And i really need like full function apps. I don't want to change between apps just to find what i wanted. For now, there is no TRAVEL APPS that best suited me in the WPStore. Hope you can make that changes -
Was looking for a good hotel booking app, hope it is integrated with Cortana! Best assistance ever!!
-
Great point that would be awesome
-
So I downloaded the app on windows 8.1 and here are some remarks that I have:
1) It have a nice design and it's easy to use it 2) The hotel selection is still poor, I've looked on some european cities that I know well and there are just a few hotels. Plus it looks like there are mostly (if not only) quite expensive choises.
3) There is a very important feature missing, the app doesn't have the abbility to filter hotels or sort them in different ways. I look forward to the next update(s) and hope the developers and much more hotels and add missing features. -
I think the problem is a LOT of hotels don't want to offer last-minute pricing on the internet, they want to gouge walkins in person.
-
I really like the fluid UI and simplicity of the app
for instance I like the slider control for selecting the number of days to book a room for -
Missing hotels in Ljubljana Slovenia to bad.
-
The app looks absolutely gorgeous! In addition, the info it provides is easy to digest at a glance. Great app!
-
I really like the whole idea of seeing the one-night pricing and this app seems to have it well-implemented. Frequently, I frequently go on day trips during the weekend, but due to the difficultly in searching the internet for prices for same-day checkins, I usually just drive home afterwards. I think both the idea behind this app, as well as the implementation, is fantastic.
-
I like the stability of the app, is very solid, also the transitions and "tiles-style" presentation of the info and pictures is very very cool. Everything is simple to use and minimalistic, it's beautiful. What I don't like is that could be very limited, you can't search for hotels you already know, I couldn't find the hotels I usually visit, you only can search for cities and even a lot of Mexican cities (big and touristic cities) are missing in the app. Also you can't see any packages or prices of the different rooms, you can't choose your room (deluxe or basic, can't even see the number or size of the beds) neither can choose the number of people for the reservation, or at least I didn't find that option. I wouldn't use the app if I need to make a reservation in a hotel, because of these limitations, is a very cool concept, please update the app, I'd use it if all this changes. Another thing that could be better is the map, it could show you directions (step by step) to drive to the hotel.
-
Duplicated
-
i dont travel but the app looks realy nice .
-
The app looks really nice. I don't really travel much anymore, but this will be really handy in a pinch. I've had a few trips in the past where this would have been really helpful. The layout of the app is really well done, and there doesn't seem to be any lag. Overall, it looks really solid.
-
I'd have to say that one thing missing here is integration with your calendar. Once you book a hotel or should automatically added the entry of wanted
-
I used it to book a room in Venice and had no problems at all. This is by far one of the best travel apps in the store and I really can't find a reason not to recommend it. Great job :) PROS: simple, effective design. Pictures look crisp and make the whole app look incredibly friendly and reliable. No need to waste time looking for info - it's all there. CONS: limited selection in some cities. No comments allowed. WHAT TO DO: add more cities and hotels. Maps and GPS integration should get a serious improvement. Possibility to rate and comment hotels via app or other sites desperately needed.
-
Nice app. Would be nice if more cities were available. Obviously its a working progress. Other than that, nice app
-
Love this app. The design is so fast and fluid that it's just a pleasure to use.I like how it has a "Why we like it" section, useful for seeing all the benefits of the hotel. Already got a nice deal on a weekend away with the promo code!
-
Nice app! Really helpful if you are a keen traveler
-
Looks better than Bing Travel
-
I'm using this app to help me find a hotel in Budapest. Works so far but I'll play with it further. I love the design. Classy.
-
Since pretty useful but didn't find the option to add your own opinion about the hotel or suggesting your some hotels. It fits more for tourists
-
A really nice and useful a[[ that allows for you to find the best hotels at a moments notice. The layout is just marvelous.Those were the PROs, but the only CON I have with this app are the limited selection in some pretty big cities that i'm sure with time will grow. Other than that keep up the excellent work!
-
I honestly never used hotel booking apps in my life. Have always been just calling up hotels or seeing online deals. But when I go down to my parents country again I'll for sure give this app a go! Looks beautiful, and honestly you guys pretty much sold me on it. Very very nice. :) The dev seems to have received praise for the right reasons!
-
I messed with this same app on android a while back. That app was quite buggy, but this one seems a bit more refined. Could just be the time in between the two.
-
The UI is clean and well designed. I like the simplicity and the way information is presented.
-
All in all a great app. The UI and overwiev is simple and easy to use. The informations about room's and hotels are detailed. The option to filter the hotel depending on how many nights you want to stay is a great idea. Theres many cities and hotels to choose from. And the booking is easy and fast.
Didn't find anything that is missing or needs to be added. I think its a great app for everyone that is looking for a hotel. :) -
Looks good - im a big fan of the clean, simple look. However, with hotel (or any booking site/app), I am skeptical of the top hits - How many are sponsored listings?
-
This looks very useful. I'm going away this weekend... may as well take it out for a test drive to see what it finds. I already have rooms booked, but it'll be interesting to see what this shows me. Thanks for the tip!
-
This needs to be advertised more... What a cool app
-
I downloaded and explored the Windows 8 version of the app. Quite solid and fluid. I really like how it gives you a stripped down amount of info, the stuff that you need to know. I really liked that they even gave you the info on the prices of drinks in the minibar. Great look and feel for the app. But as for thingsto offer improvement, I looked at one hotel, and they said "No fitness center" but the app had a picture of a room with treadmills and elipticals. So it seems there may be a slight issue with their info accumulation. I think it'd be great if you could also filter hotels by ameneties, and not just by location. After touring the app, i signedup for an account. I could see myself using this. Great work.
-
installing this! i travel a lot but from reading some of the previous posters, i hope it incorporates more European hotels.
-
i can definately use this, still waiting on a Marriott app
-
It is perfect for my next holiday. I love hidden gems :)
-
Hmmm. Under Windows 8.1 (on an HP laptop) the app keeps minimizing and returning to the desktop (clicking on the icon suggests the app has restarted, but to no avail). Something isn't working right.
-
You did say "HP", right?
-
Heh-heh. Indeed I did. Unfortunately, it also crashes repeatedly on my ATIV S.
-
Well before downloading this app I didn't really expect it to be for me....but I'll definitely be keeping it and using it!
I really like how opening it takes me right to hotel deals in my area. This is actually going to come in really handy as my girlfriend and I don't get to travel nearly as much as we like so instead we'll book a room for a night or two in town just to get away from our place.
With this, I see us trying out some new spots we wouldn't have gone to otherwise.
This should make for some nights when we feel like being spontaneous!
What I don't like and what could be improved....well...i like that it opens right to local deals...but maybe there should be a setting to make the default start page display recent cities you've searched for...aside from that its really well done! -
Well designed app,easy to use and book rooms . Needs the ability to have directions to the hotel from the Bing map.
-
The results that are displayed are very nice looking and helpful. My only suggestion would be to support more cities. Most California smaller cities that I regularly visit are not in the database. Keep up the good work!
-
Found a few bugs on my Lumia 720(8.1 dev preview) after selecting a city it toggles between the remind me and duration selecting screen.
Anyone experiencing the same?
BTW adding more cities is recommended a lot. -
Clean and elegant, just what you would expect from a windows 8 universal app, however it still lacks some key features such as user ratings for hotels and bing travel integration to learn more about the area.
-
It has a clean and easy to use ui, looks like most windows apps should.
-
Esta es una excelente aplicacion que no puede dejar de estar en nuestro Lumia, me ha pasado que durante mis viajes por cuestiones de trabajo no encuentro lugar en algun hotel, o en los hoteles que frecuento, con esta aplicacion es facil reservar e ir a la segura sin estar buscando donde quedarte. En cuanto al disñeo se lleva 5 estrellas, muy bien cuidado, con fotos de las habitaciones, de los hoteles y sus vistas, simplemente es hermosa esta aplicacion, ademas de muy util y mas que no solo la puedo tener en mi Lumia, sino tambien en mi Laptop con Windows 8.1.
-
English please, lol
-
Even if I do not need a hotel now, I installed this app to experience the user interface. And know what, I is a real good example how a good Windows app should look like. I like it, but not using it...
-
Shows me everything I need to know (features, pictures, pricing, etc.) about any hotel with a clean UI. Love that it's a hybrid too. But it would be nice if it supported more areas for when I travel internationally
-
I like it, but the UI seems clunky on my 1520. Maybe the icons are too big or I'm just picky. Also a sideways swipe feature for more info about the hotels would be cool. Overall nice app, very niche though.
-
Does what it says, UI is very pretty, love the little tweaks and touches everywhere.
In Switzerland, the hotels are a bit rare. Hope I can use it on my trip to the US in August. In the end you can do what it says. -
Normally I'd scoff at a hotel booking app, just use a computer, but the addition of last-minute to this makes it reasonable and worth having on my phone, even if it doesn't get pulled out that often. Might be part of an interesting "road tripping with your phone" sort of series.
-
Good looking app. Seems very useful if even just used to look at a hotel before booking. Contains good information on rooms and amenities.
-
the app is beautiful, fluid, informative, and intuitive. my main issue is that i don't generally book a hotel on the day of my travel so an app like this is useless for me. i wish you could book hotels on a future date and that there were a large selection of cheap hotels and motels. i'm a cheap ass so i'll likely never spend $100+ a night on a hotel room unless i beome rich. with a name like 'hotel TODAY' i get that its an app to book hotels i guess like 'today' but I would love to have an app that looks like this that can let me book ahead of time...heck lets go for the whole enchilada; an app that lets me book flights, hotels, and renal cars!
-
Very nice App :)
Using Lumia 520 -
Huh, I thought the promotion was only for WP apps. Would love to check it out, but I just don't get along with W8 on desktop.
-
A nice UI. Making it a universal app is always a plus and I hope most app will go that direction. Last minute deals are a bit of a problem wjen you have kids. It's hard to travel without some planning. I will try this for short weekend gataways.
-
Love the UI of the app, hope other hotel services follow with this quality!
-
Love the design, and I'm a big fan of the idea of Universal Windows apps. I wish there were more. Is there a list of them somewhere? Unfortunately, I don't vacation or stay in hotels very often, so I doubt if I'll be using this app more often.
-
Ok, another Hidden Gem, another review... Using an Lumia 720, sadly my Store app is kinda broken on my Win8.1 and I just can't install apps on my PC :D >What I've liked: - UI concept is nice, would be better with some improvments; ;) -App is really easy to use, it's too much iontuitive (that's awesome); -24/7 customer support... AHH I LOVE seeing this! :D -Details like "Free wifi" "free parking" are greatly showed on screen; -Just love the animations on app, looks incredibly smooth; -Tile icon is good, clean, minimalist and fits on WP homescreen :D >What I didn't liked: -Sadly didn't support my city (used with NY), :\ -increase space between the gorgeous 'tiles' on app home; -Some 'tiles' doesn't show Hotel images so it didn't looks nice (I suggest adding an color, or default image to display when there's no image to show ;)) Gonna keep it on my Lumia as I'm going to NY for some nights, maybe this app help me to find the "Tonight Hotel", thank Hotel Tonight! :D
-
I rarely travel out of town, but, this could be useful for when I do thanks.
-
hotels tonight is an awesome app, i got it on my windows phone when they were giving away the $40 free voucher with it! It is super convenient and works really well for people like me ( procrastinators ) ... great prices on rooms! I would say the only way to make it better would be more detail on the surrounding areas around the hotels, sometimes the best deals are in terrible sections of town, other than that super awesome!
-
Checking out out on my 1020 and it seems to be a well designed app looks like it might come in handy the few times a year I travel. I am going to check it out on my DVP8 tablet as I think with the extra real estate it will be even better.
-
It's nice, the only issue for me is that all cities section can not be sorted. Would be easier to find counties that way. Also, "Londres" should be "London", or I missed something? Tested on Windows 8.1.
-
This is actually the slickest app I've used on Windows 8. As far as the app design I'm not a fan of the limited choices but it does absolutely work and work fast. I'll try it for our next trip.
-
Fast and fluid on my phone and desktop. I think, though, that for those of us in the U.S., instead of having to scroll through a list of cities, it would be better to let you choose a state and then a city. I also checked their rates against the rates on the websites of some of the hotels they listed. There were significant savings on some; little or no savings on others. Since you lose a little flexibility booking through them, you should probably always check with the hotel first.
-
I think it would be useful to have an option to search for hotels based on events. For example, searching for "FIRST Robotics Championship" would bring up hotels in St. Louis, Missouri (or whatever city it is in next year, the year after that, etc.). I'd also like to be able to sign in with other accounts such as a Microsoft account (and a Google account, since people use those too).
-
I was able to claim the $40 promo reward, and can't wait to use it on my next trip out of town. My one issue with the Windows Phone 8 version of the app is that to change location you have to click the back button from the home page. This should simply be a search button in the app bar as it took me awhile to figure out how to change the city.
-
Sad :
-the apps join downloaded but didn't provide country like Malaysia, Singapore even India as well.
-when trying to open the specific location it just show me "we're currently busy....." Therefore the entire apps is just useless.
-furthermore the apps is contain a bug , whereby opening the specific location it just keep on repeating reopen the same page and reopen again .
Good :
-great interface and stunning facade.
-the catalogue is just very simple and easy to understand . Recommendation :
-provide specification column for potential customer. Eg . Price range, hotel rating(quality), location(provided) , time. -hopefully concern to provide service to south east Asia consumer. -
Nice app: Nice native Win Phone experience. Look forward to using it when I next need a hotel in a hurry!
-
I'm not sure why but on Lumia 1020, WP8.1, the app starts looping between two form unit after I choose a location like LA.
-
I like how minimilist the UI is. I also like the security.. Can't wait to try it out.
-
I actually liked the design of the Windows 8.1 app. It really looks awesome. The "remind me" feature is also a pretty handy addition. It's only unfortunate that it doesn't support any African countries at launch, I hope that'll come soon at a later date.
-
In general, this is a very handy and useful app. As possitive remarks: it allow users to search, view, review and book for a room (usually for the current night); the UI is intuitive; and it has gorgous images. In the other hand, negative points are its limited offering cities, and non-exahustive list of features for rooms. These bad poinst can force some users to uses other services, like booking.com Cheers
-
I realize that hotels may have to sign up for certain websites to be listed for travel deals, but I wish there was a way around that. Going on vacation this next week and would have missed out on a great deal on a smaller hotel just because they weren't listed with any of the major travel websites. Would love for this app (or any other for that matter) to somehow include those hotels even if a room for them can't be reserved. I know travel sites are in it for the revenue, but it really would be nice if it were possible.
-
Pretty slick app from what I can tell so far, will have to actually 'road test' it soon. Like the smooth streamlined delivery. Could maybe benefit from having additional information /options available.
-
Downloaded. I like the design but it's disappointing that hotels in the Philippines are not yet supported. It will also be great if it will have some sort of integration with maps. Also I found this bug that keeps on showing the same view when I click a city. Hope this will be fixed soon.
-
This is a great app! A detailed description of each hotel you want to look for. Very useful especially if your out of town and want to have a place to stay uaing your surface tablet.
-
I like how the design represent the design language of windows phone. Also I find it clever the words used in the menus like "hey you" it seems like talking to me in person. Just fix the bug when I click a city and it will be awesome.
-
Anything that embraces 'metro' gets a thumbs up from me, this beautifully crafted app will hopefully help me when the time arises, but as of now is a standby app (only because i'm not a hotel centric type of guy, still though, it seems easy enough to use when i decide to travel :)
-
Looks clean, I love the Windows UI...
-
Oh man you have no idea how useful this app would be!! My hubby travels alot for work and sometimes I travel along. There have been so many times when we needed to find a decent hotel at the last minute and ended up either paying too much for a room or staying in some grungy place. This app seems so convenient and easy to use!
-
Likes: Simplicity, black theme, immediate scrolling through high def photos, prices seem good. Suggestions : More cities in Canada (i.e. Winnipeg), larger selection of hotels, ability to set preferences to include only pet friendly, flag favorite hotels and always provide a quote for them.
-
Sounds like a great concept but sadly it is not yet available in India :(
-
It doesn't support my country, but useful when going for overseas vacation :)
-
I like that it caters to the last minute planners! The UI is easy to navigate and beautiful. I do wish it had more deals to offer, but overall it's a great app.
-
I stayed at the Residence Inn in Woburn last week! What a coincidence.
-
Not to impressed. Didn't have my location. Definitely doesn't show all motels in an area.
-
I downloaded this app right after I read the first article here. It installed without any glitches, and was able to open it. That's already promising since I've experienced some apps closing down just by opening it (ironic right?). What frustrated me though is that there is no south east Asian support as of now. Considering a lot of places here are hot tourist destinations, I was really expecting it would be supporting our region. So I had to uninstall it but left a 2 star rating on the rate and review page, citing my feedback. Hope they include more places soon. I'd gladly try it again when they do.
-
Would definitely use this if I ever went to hotels
-
Hopefully Australia will be included soon as the app seems good.
-
Seems faster
-
Windows Phone version. I'm on 8.1 dev preview I'm not off to a good start. I downloaded and installed it just fine and it opens up, but for some reason it didn't think that I had a connection at the first screen. I bypassed that though and it managed to have a connection to let me sign up via Facebook. When I go back in, I can't search properties because that part of the app doesn't think that I have a connection.
-
Very nice app!! Will use it on my holiday travels - I'm not a facebook fan and will create a native account for the app. However would like to see more devs just using the Microsoft Account in addition to facebook and google +. thxs
-
Nice app with an attractive ui. Works well if you are wishing to find a hotel in a major city. However, if you need a hotel in Springdale,Ut you are out of luck. Why is that a big deal? Because Springdale is the entrance to Zion Nation Park, the most visited park in the U.S. How about if you are traveling across country and need to find a hotel in Pigs Knuckle, Arkansas. Again nothing. Nice app, but not for me.
-
Beautiful app, but takes a lot of time to open...I'm on a high speed internet connection. Then why?
-
I am curious as to how people would reccommend this over something like kayak or hotels.com?
-
simple and easy to use UI, i guess. however, i don't understand why i need to sign in. i often get errors saying "Something went awry". i don't even know what awry means. it's a nice app but i won't be using it regularly.
-
I was looking for exactly that while on a road trip. Looking forward using this soon.
-
Looks like a well made app. I will definitely give it a try.
-
I will look at this because I am going to europe and should think about rooms.
-
Nice app overall. I have it on both Windows Phone and Windows 8.
I feel like design is a bit boring compared to its iOS and Android counterparts. I'm going to be using it this weekend! -
Love the Windows Phone app ecosystem as of late. Make sure you're reviewing the apps! Makes a lot of sense for these developers/companies to know we want more.
-
Looked nice... First impression was not good (its not available in AU and thats fine) My issue was no matter where in the world I looked there was a time wait period the shortest i found was 3 hrs so feedback was zero. Now it may be true the offers are not available till 9:am somewhere but basically its a fruitless search maybe display the hotels you do regularly have offers on would be nice with a pending status/time to go. It would be nice to know areas that have hotels that offer this ahead of time without me waiting up to 4am my time to see if thats a option if I am travelling there....
-
Love the design! Very metro, 'er modern. Seems to be a pretty well designed app - I look forward to needing to book a hotel and use it in a real world scenario.
-
well, nice UI.. usufull to some people as all the hotels available here are expensive. and hope they are working to extend their coverage without being limited to these big cities. also getting some "check your internet connection" error while loading hotels though connection was ok.
-
Well, I downloaded this and went to try it out. Unfortunately, it tells me that every city I've tried (St. Louis, Tulsa, Chicago) have no vacancies and that I possibly don't have an internet connection. Has anybody else experienced this problem? Otherwise, it looks quite nice!
-
I was stranded at Hannover airport tonight.. Almost considered downloading this app to book a hotel, but sadly as a student in to broke to seriously think about getting a room..
-
I love that this app cuts right to the chase: it boots to a list of locations for finding deals immediately, giving suggestions for nearby cities to streamline the process. The booking process is also designed for efficiency and intuitive use. My only two complaint is this: There are no points of comparison. Having done some research, I can say that the app DOES offer bottom dollar prices, but it would be nice if there was some middle-ground between opening up a browser to compare prices on other sites (like priceline) and taking Hotel Tonight's word that the prices will be competitive. Overall, this is a useful app with a good user experience. I would recommend it.
-
Pros: Great layout/UI. It's easy to navigate, and nice on the eyes. Black background a plus.
Pictures of the hotel is also a pretty big plus - looks are just as important as numbers. Cons: Need user reviews/input.
Needs smaller cities - problems with many big sites is it's not as easy to find small cities. This will need to include them if it is to stay competititive.
More metrics to filter results would be nice. Keep up the great work. Looks good so far. -
App's Interface is neat n simple. Checked in WP L822.They need to cover moe countries n cities. Frequently getting error while trying to get the hotel list. it says something went wrong and doesn't load anything.
-
App's interface is neat n simple. Checked in WP L822. They need to add more countries n cities. Frequently getting connection error and doesn't load the hotel list.
-
I can't speak for this app because I don't have 8.1 yet, but I like the WP version very much
-
+1520
-
just like how simple and slick it is. love apps with the black background. brings the best out of the amoled. :) and it works so far.. good work
-
This contest is making everyone a professional reviewer....:)
-
I find it very attractive to the eye and very useful. I like the fact that everything is clean, fast and simple and I'm sure I'll end up using it when I went out from a party at midnight or when I went out very late at work but there a little things that I don't like about the app. It only lists about 5 hotels, I know that the hotels need to meet their standars but 5 is just too little, maybe (well I'm sure) it's because I'm not in the US (I'm from Mexico) so more options for people all around the world will be great. Another downside for me it's the hotel cost, I know like I said before the hotels need to cover their standars but cheaper options will be nice and make the app more useful for more people.
-
Just downloaded (want to go to Berlin and was checking on hotels.com just now). It shows a timer that states: "Hey early bird, we are busy tracking down todays best deals etc". Then there is a timer that counts down from 1 hour to zero... Guess I'll continue searching on booking.com and check it again in an hour...
-
Nice and usefull. But there are so many other ways to find good deals in theses locations...
An app focusing on other location like Africa, Middle East,... will be very helpfull for many traveller. -
Used it on windows 8.1 and seems like a pretty decent app for checking out some hotels. Selection seems pretty limited at the moment but I would imagine it will expand as time goes on. App itself is mostly smooth, had it lock up and freeze to where i had to close it with task manager once when it had an error looking at London, after that smooth sailing. Content mostly loaded fast and smooth with a few delays. Nice to see why they like/recommend the hotels and seemed like it had alot of pictures of the rooms and common areas unlike alot of web services. Has room for improvent but is a nice start.
-
Very smooth app. I'll check it out tonight as I finalize the details for my next trip to Wellington.
-
Gorgeous app and layout. Speedy, perfect Metro rendition, but needs to enfasize much more on functionality. Some points I would suggest: 1. Cover more countries ( I know its a works in progress) but my country (not city) isn't even supported 2. I tried to place orders at this point in time - tried 3 different cities (Rome, Paris and NY) but the app isn't letting me - seems like its working on some last minute deals.Not a good start. I use bookings.com and never encountered similar issues 3. Currency rate to be user specified for all bookings. (if its already- I didn't manage to find it out and I do apologies.
-
Tried it on my phone. Nice design, needs some work. It got my location wrong by 80 miles, so the suggested cities list was a bit odd and excluded some major cities within a couple hours' drive in the other direction. When I went to all cities, there was no way that I could see to browse a city list by state; the list was alphabetized by city name for the entire US. I entered a nearby city name into the search box, and it told me there was no such city listing; however that same city had been in the suggested list, and when I clicked through via the suggested list there were hotels listed for it. It would have made things easy if I could have touched a point on the map to redefine my location or search a city listing. Since there were workarounds for the searches, this is still a useful app imo.
-
Just downloaded the app for Windows 8. Maybe it is just me but I'm unimpressed. It is 2:03am local time as I'm writing this review and the app is worthless to me. I receive a "hang on early bird" message and am told to wait until 9:00 when deals go online. I could be nitpicking here but at this point the app is useless. I can't get listings or prices for any city in the USA. Uninstalling.
-
Damn. I guess crying about your phone breaking can get you free stuff? okay so I lost my dog, my phone broke, my car got stolen, my house burned down all in the same day and I have a cavity so I cant eat cake anymore. How about that tablet or phone now?
-
First of all: Wow, Wow, Wow. I couldn't stop saying Wow, for its fluid User Interface. What an interface! Just mind-blowing. It is just awesome. There are no words to explain its UI, coz I fell in Love with the UI. Next thing is, it is much easier to book a hotel with this app. With just a few options, a hotel room is booked in a breeze. It really helps to book hotel very fast and I say it is a super-fast app. However, I thank the Dev of this app very much for this offcial release. Hope many Windows and WP Apps may get this type of awesomeUI, and would revolutionise the Windows Community. This app for Windows 8 is truly a Gem, that is got out..Thanks WPCentral..!
-
I quiet liked the app and it seems to run very smoothly, although I didn't find allot of rooms near my location (Germany NRW). But I expect that will change soon. I think I'm gonna keep the app on my phone for future travels.. :)
-
Okay, I tested this app a bit and here's what I think! I tested it on my phone. The loading screen of the app looks very promising. The app itself is in the normal Windows Phone style and that's why I think that it doesn't look very unique.. Developers, you can make this better by using a different background color, for example a grey tone and make the headlines of each section in the same color, you could use the accent color for this. The buttons could be the same color, but maybe a bit darker. This would make the app at least a bit more unique. Right now it looks a bit boring. A good thing however is, that it is completely lag-free and I didn't experience any bugs or crashes! Good work! :) Now a bit to the functionality: Everything you need is here: Choose or search a city, choose a hotel that suits you and there are lots of settings to choosw from to find your perfect hotel. It's so easy to navigate through the app! Well done! Another cool thing is that you can log in via facebook! All in one a pretty solid app, maybe a design change would be good. 8 of 10 points.
-
the UI is really good looking, but the lack of coverage/partners in my area is dicouraging. booking.com or similar global service app would be much more universally working solution
-
It's missing many cities for me. Also compared to other platforms it has less hotels, and those which are there are way more expensive. Beautiful UI yes, but I'll give it another few months.
-
Nice app, beautifully designed and very informative. Tried doing a trial serch in my region and was satisfied. it provides a lot of useful informations about the hotels, it's really a breeze to use. Will definitly use that when I need it.
-
It's a shame it is only available for a few cities in the UK at the moment but I'm sure more wil come in time. I really like how clearly laid out everything is and that it makes the most of the screen real estate on my computer.
-
This app is not of much use to me.Commenting just to take part..there..i said it..
-
The UI is a pleasure to use. Plus I'm very happy it does support South America, since most of the apps of its genre presented here doesn't.
-
This is such a sweet app! Really well designed, fluid and intuitive to navigate. Would be good to have the option to change to GBP and other currencies (might be there but can't find it), and also would be good to pull in info for hostels. E.g I know Amsterdam is pretty pricey for hotels, but hostels can be found for less than £30 a night - having these included in the lists would open up the app to a whole other market.
-
I was immediately taken by how pretty and easy to use the app was. I am going to be using this app regularly as I make hotel reservations for my work travel. Thanks for highlighting this app, I don't know that I would have found it otherwise.
-
I saw their CEO talk about the app at AppNation V and wanted it on my Windows Phone, so I was happy to see it's release. This app solves the biggest pain point for me with hotel booking (not knowing what you're actually getting) with curated hotels (badly reviewed hotels won't stay on their lists), categorization (luxury, basic, hip, etc), pictures uploaded by other users who booked a room at the hotel and a short list of reasons they liked the hotel. Since most of that info isn't provided by the hotel itself, I trust it more. Making a great looking app only adds to the experience I'm just not sure why they decided to go with booking a hotel for the same night only, even if it allows getting better deals (since they sell leftover rooms) I rarely find myself in a city without a place to stay.
-
Very nice I can't wait to try
-
Good looking app. The search button though is not following the WP design language imo it should be at the appbar like in all other apps. In genal I never used such an app yet but I will give it a shot. Also sometimes it crashed on my L930
-
Phone app is a little limited on first open. What distance is it searching around me? Would be nice to order by price. Hotel selection is limited to - in central Edinburgh it's only bringing up around 10 hotels - there are hundreds! No obvious way to search for hotels in the future or in different places?
-
The app has a damn good Metro style UI no doubt.
But then major drawback, I'm from India and I don't travel outside the country much, so the app isn't useful for me. If they add Indian cities, then I can definitely know this app better. As a person who's never been outside the country and doesn't know much..can't contribute too much.
My brother lives in Fort Collins tried looking that up, couldn't find it..So went for Denver. The bookings open at 9:00 Denver time so you have to wait and the 'countdown' doesn't work the clock shows 0:0 and screen flickers, that's a bit irritating. But does seem like a useful app for people who travel and make impromptu plans.
Overall Damn useful app for last minute bookings. Would be great if it came to other countries too. I liked how cities where highlighted where the bookings have begun. Tapping on a hotel gives you all the info you need. Once you slide down the info bar you can see through images of the rooms, and the slideshow of images is pretty slick. Adding the map with location of all hotels. Categorization of hotels based on parts of cities all these features just make it one SUPER app. And the best part is the app itself gives you some handy info, what they like about the place and amenities available at the hotel.
Definitely looking forward for the time when it comes to India and includes major cities :) -
Booking a hotel a week or a month in advance is easy with hotel apps like this. Take the guesswork out of "where will I be staying tonight?" by utilizing the Hotel Tonight app for Windows Phone. I think the name is just right.
-
Tried it. Pretty irrelevant in India. But really great UI, adapts very well to Windows theme.
-
Hadn't used the app before but brilliant concept, love the layout and will definitely keep on my phone incase I need an emergency hotel
-
Good app tried it to impress my father on booking hotel nights in India.. Love the look and thus game me the first appreciation from my father.. Thanks a lot
-
Dude
The app doesn't have any hotels list from India. -
The UI is awesome. But I guess some high standard hotels are missing in the app. Hope new hotels will be added.!
-
I think that this is far more convenient as a mobile app than as a Windows 8.1 app. It's pretty convenient to pull out my phone in an airport, train station, or city and book a hotel room. The metro design is fantastic, i agree, one of the best looking universal apps. As Rubino said, there's definitely no information overload in the app. But I actually prefer a bit more information. I'd like to know how Hotel Tonight ranks their Hotels and what qualities make them select a certain hotel for a deal. I, like many other consumers, like to see what options I have before me. I don't really like being told which hotel is best for me, even in a pinch.
-
I love the service and used it once when I was on Android. This app for Win8.1 is awesome. Everything looks nice. Fluid and smooth. The windows 8 design guidelines are met so everything is visible and layed-out. The only thing I'm missing is a filtering system. Like, I'm looking for a Hotel that allows pets. That information is provided on the hotel page, but you have to click on it. So I need to click on every single hotel within the city, so I can find the one that allows pets, that those are just a few. It would be nicer if there is a filtering system within the search, so you can check what you are looking for.
-
Looks like a great app; can't wait to try it out!
-
Simple, aesthetically beautiful, fluid and with the redeem promo code bonus. :) Great if you need a place to stay due to an unforeseen event, or not, and you don't have time to search on web sites with lots of publicity and other information not relevante. The first screen show the nearby hotels so that you don't lose time navigating. A must for everyone that travels.
-
I'm really loving all the universal apps that have been coming. I'm excited for this trend to continue.
-
Tried the app and just love it .
-
The app looks amazing with nice pictures of each hotel, but would be nice with more hotels in Sweden. Will definitely try this out when on vacation!
-
Beautiful, Fluent & Simple UI....looks great, feels great, although I couldn't really test it out, I really like love it. I see the app lacking on only 2 aspects - would be better to give the option of selecting country, through a world map or scroll list & then the user selects city, rather than the confusing short forms given now
expanding the network to include more countries -
I tried to check this app on my laptop, but while the loading screen was on I switch to the desktop to check something.
Now it refuses to start if I click on the symbol of this app in the task bar...
When I try to open it, it shows my desktop again after a couple of seconds...
It won't even start if I kill it and relaunch it from the application list.
So I guess something is wrong with the Windows version! Luckily, the app opens on my phone, and it looks gorgeous! Overview of hotels
Information is displayed very orderly.
It's really nice that they can provide this much information for each hotel, without that it's becoming a mess!
They did a really good job here. Information about a hotel
I love the concept about having the images behind the information.
You can see in one glimpse of an eye all important data (price, rating, facilities, map)
It's also very handy that the app provides an option to book a room! This app will certainly stay on my phone. The developers can be proud of themselves.
Also, I hope that they will fix this bug that I have on my pc! -
Not available in my country yet, but the idea is to use it in other countries. The list of places to stay feels more restricted to just hotels, and I've yet to find an option for desperation, such as hostels or other forms of lodging at lower rates.
The look and feel of the app is nice and straightforward. I use it also for comparison to other app/sites for better prices. -
Wassup Guys... It's already Day2, and WPcentral announced second app on Hidden gems series. Here is my 5 bullet review on Hotel Tonight Cons 1. Hm.... This app is a real disappointment. You've very limited choices to choose. 95% of the suggestions are expensive. Not suitable for Economy class :p 2. Even though it has got a attractive UI, it is lagging behind in customising user choices and filtering based on user requests. 3. Why would somebody really wants to use an app for just selecting a hotel. Apps from Kayak, MakeMyTrip, TripAdvisor, Priceline and Bing Travel will help you make flight, car and hotel reserversvations... These apps are like one stop shop for every thing but Hotel Tonight is not like them 4. On comparing with Hotels.com app, I understand that Hotel Tonight lost to Hotels.com in all aspects. No user would spend more than 10-15seconds on any app if he couldn't find what ever he is looking for in any travel associated app. In this app espically changing your location/searching for Hotels at a different locations is really dumb(you've to hit the back screen button to find the search page) Pros 5. Customer support information and FAR page.. I don't remember seeing these two thigns in other apps. Thats all for now Guys.. Regards Vamsi
-
Very nice and clean interface and the fact that this is an universal app is very appealing.Instead of saying what's great I'd rather say what could be better (it's not that much):
- more countries/citys/hotels (obviously)
- if i type a city in the search box that's currently not supported there should be some feedback (I thought the search box doensn't work)
- the resolution of some pics isn't good - if the hotels are hand-picked they should be better
- the german translation could be better
-
I wish this app was there last month as I needed to book rooms for 5 nights. Looks like a nice simple app. Though some improvements needed on the start screen.
-
Overall this is a fantastically designed app. It was easy to use while being easy on the eyes. My only real complaint is that I'd rarely have a need for it. That's really a shame because I hope other app creators will look to the folks behind Hotel Tonight as a shining example on universal apps done right. Overall: 4.5/5 (There are no perfect apps, but this ranks right up there.)
-
Wasn't able to search for hotels in Malta so when with other countries/cities I have stayed in. Found the UI quick and easy to get a search done and from the initial info displayed to the further details after drilling in ( info, pictures) really useful. I'll be keeping this app!
-
Although its a very nice set out app and gives a lot of information you will actually require when booking a place the downside for me its not available in my location but will be handy should I need a Groupon type app for hotels especially seems I have to keep the wife happy and take her away further afield.
-
How does this compare to booking.com? 24 coutries? Is that all?
-
Pros: +GUI is amazing +Pictures, always said if you want to sell something good pictures +Simplicity +Bing Maps Cons: -Needs a windows phone app
-
No doubt it's been said by others, but this app really is beautiful. It flows so nicely, pictures are crystal clear, well presented! Love how smooth the pop out location map is against each location. They could probably do with song some more Irish hotels on their database! Reviewed in Lumia 920
-
Wish that worked here on turkey well. They should partner with some companies to make it more available.
-
It entered a loop when I tried to see hotels in Denmark, and I had to close down the app from the task switcher. Also I wish there would be more cities in the app, but I'm sure they will add more in time...
-
easy to use, great UI. $40, i like it!
-
Can it filter to show only smoking rooms? My biggest complaint about booking.com website (their app is ugly) is that it can show you all 'non-smoking' rooms, but cannot show 'smoking' rooms, so I have to go through listings manually.
-
I think the UI is nice but it could use some touch ups. Nice experience still.
-
I really like the animations and the transitions that are part of this app. Good job.
-
This is a nice app. Windows needs better travel apps and this really helps.
-
That's a great discount, thanks! I'm guessing there's no loyalty program integration? Not a problem just wondering.
-
I wonder if it works well in other countries outside of US.
-
Would be nice if it could integrate with Bing Travel to provide detail information about certain locations where the hotels are
-
The app needs an overhaul in terms of UI. It's really polish, but it needs more color, more vivacity. I think it would be nice a random background on the start screen and a better division of what is presented on screen, removing the scroll view used in this version. It's also important to reduce load time, wich is not so fast.
-
All I know is that I've tried forever to win something, and my time is due..
-
I dig the UI
-
I'll use this app the next time I need to book a room for sure...
-
Very fast and fluid application. Functionality on both phones and tablets is really well done. There has been a lot of apps that try to cram to much into the UI lately. I like how this keeps keeps it simple.
-
It's a very great app, it's very helpful if you travel allot it has everything you need for finding a good hotel and what you think it is good for you, I recommend this app for every one who wants to find a good hotel
-
Seems like a good app to find a hotel. The location based part is great especially with all the information and reviews it shoes so you can make sure the hotel isn't crappy.
-
I'm going to try this app! :D
-
A very useful app. We were once stuck at the airport due to weather related delays and this app was handy in finding some nice hotels in the neighborhood. Like the smooth and clean interface, though inventory was sparse - I guess that's how they position themselves....
-
I really like the discount and that its for Windows, obviously. However, improvements on overall speediness would be nice.
-
Sounds good.
-
Not one for this sort of thing, still in school. But regardless, the icon is great design.
-
Looks like a handy app!!
-
Love the UI, very well designed.
-
Great UI, black theme looks awesome,
Really helpful -
No 7.8 support, boohoo
-
I used that app for a while, and i liked it very much. The UI is very pleasant, we have all information we need about the different places, wifi available, room size, etc. It's very useful for example in my case, too plan my interrail in summer 2015, because i will have the option to find a large number of places to stay, and i will choose the ones that have the best price/quality relation. That's nice too when you need a place to stay for one night, and you quickly use the app to discover what is around you, and if you want, you just book the room and perfect. I recommend that app to have in the WP everytime.. you never know when you will need it.
-
This app helped me book my honeymoon!
-
I booked a room from this app on my Samsung Windows 8.1 laptop. What can I say I found and booked a top room with everything I loved in just minutes... Now I know what they mean by last minute :') I would totally recommend this app!
-
Been looking for an app like this.
-
Beautiful app. Again, like the TRAINR app, simple UI (starting to see a trend in this area), everything you need is at your face, no unnecessary infomations visible. Will be awesome when they include some brazilian cities.
-
App is nice, but the only time I used it (Vegas) they put me in a 1980's room at the Ceasar's Palace. It was their oldest tower that should be demo'd any day now. Oh well, was cheap.
-
Got it!
-
I download the windows version. This is really an impressive app. I don't travel too often but I would be interested to know how this service compares to the others out there in finding good prices.
-
This looks awesome! When I get my first Windows Phone, I'll be checking this out.
-
It doesn't have my country yet, but the 25$ gift is nice for someday.
-
Wow! This app sounds very cool and helpful. The only thing this app needs is to include more cities worldwide. I downloaded the app but it's telling me that it haven't launched in my location yet. I hope it'll work just in time when I go to Singapore come September.
-
I hope someday I will need to use some of these apps, in other words, I hope someday I can travel a lot hahaha
-
Hope it could cover more countries tho it might take time.
-
. Very Clean UI.. Provides Photos of the room.. also great to add countries other than US
-
Useful app with fast-fluid interface.
-
I have not tried this app yet. (not needed to) I have to travel for work at a moments notice and I feel that this app will be of a great benefit to me in a time crunch. I look forward to using it!!
-
Super fluid UI, its so nice to continued development in this beloved style. Really easy to use, every time I thought "well where can I find this" I was cut short by the obvious layout of the app. Solid work.
-
My first hidden gems post... Full disclosure, I would never have posted on this particular story without the carrot dangling (very very, high) above me. That being said, the app is beautiful and simple. If i were someone who would use something like this I would love it. I was a bit disappointed I couldn't find anything but large cities as location choices but I guess that's to be expected. The real reason why I'm going to leave this on my phone though, is in hopes my wife "accidently" finds it and assumes I'm working hard at planning us an exotic trip (spoiler alert... I'm not). I figure that will buy me a few months before I'm forced to. What can I say, I'm cheap. As if that wasn't apparent by this attempt at a free phone. Oh wait, it has to be helpful? Ugh.
-
seems pretty interesting
-
With all the apps like this...how can people claim WP and Win8 "have no apps"? We got almost all the games and apps on other platforms. It's an image thing, nothing more.
-
The App looks very nice and simple compared to other Hotel Apps I have used. Countdown feature was nice, can't wait to see next Pargue offers! There would be nice to have more options but only selecting number of night. How many adults, children, ... But maybe the point is to only search room quickly for individuals or couples. Then this is quite good solution for that purpose. Left it on my phone after quick try, maybe I find it useful in the future.
-
helpfull it is
-
Looks like great app
-
downloading it!
-
I like the interface and the $40 discount. :) However, it would be nice to have a review or comment feature for each hotel so we can know more about the overall quality of the place.
-
don't travel but find his very useful
-
I love the UI of this app!!!
-
I used this app to find where to stay in the summer when I go to Nice, France and I must say, this app's design made me enjoy this task that I had been dreading! It puts everything in a simple format that allows me to see whether the hotel is/has what I'm looking for, and so I'm looking forward to my summer holiday now!
-
Pretty smooth app, I would love to be constructive about the app, but I don't use these kinda apps at all, so I haven't got nothing to compare at.. However the app seems to be pretty good, although as expected, needs more hotels to be added( since I go to a lot of small town venues) :p
-
Downloaded to try it out. The app looks beautiful. Can't wait to try it on an actual trip. But I wondered if the service offered by the app was worth the effort of signing up? So as a quick test I selected a random U.S. city (Denver) and then compared prices with Hotels.com. Price for Marriot Tech Center on Hotel Tonight = $87. The price on hotels.com = $214 CAD. Very interesting. Option to display price in currency of choice would be nice but not a deal breaker.
-
The app is smooth but I feel like the interface is a little cluttered using the windows tiles format. I think a more uniform design would make it seem more reputable. Haven't used it to book but may try in the future if I travel.
-
Nice and easy to use UI, love the fact that it's universal .. Thumbs up for the app (y)
-
Great app. Has lots of potential. Only problem is that there aren't enough cities. I live in South Africa and when we go on holiday we usually go on holiday somewhere in South Africa or near South Africa like Swaziland. There are no cities for these places so the app is pretty pointless for me. I'll wait for an update though and see if they bring cities in countries that are near to me
-
The design of the app is certainly great and it is full of needed info. However, it is very disappointing to not find destinations of the Middle East or Asia. Not useful to me.
-
I Can't wait to use this APP next time im going on vacation!
-
Nice Ui.
-
The app ui is very nice. It's a sleek looking app and it is very useful for finding some nice deals on some local hotels.
-
Nice..not of much use though for me...
-
USER INTERFACE: *One of the best apps which I could get on on Windows Phone.
*Slideshow of Hotel Pics at background made app look more dynamic
*The loading is smooth and fast. The animations are nice and swift, especially the bed that magnifies and faded out just after loading.
*Simplicity and User Friendly Rating would be ( 7/10 ).
*I would love the app to show me a “TOUR” when I use it for the first time cause there is so much to see and understand in this app PROS: *I really liked how you could use the slider to adjust the number of nights for your stay and it would update the price to reflect the days.
*The app gives detailed information about the hotels, for example has the hotel an WIFI, which is an important info to all geeks like us.
*The app also has an pretty good integration with bing maps, which can be really usefull sometimes. CONS (Needs improvement): *There is a big thing missing... It definitely should have an option to sort the results by price. Or maybe an option to search or filter results by category (5 stars, 3 stars, basic, and so on...) An option to specify more than 5 nights would also be welcome.
*I couldn't cancel the booking nor refund option is there. I suppose the hotels are not allowing refunds.
*(BUG) I found two bugs in the app.
First you have an problem with Facebook integration. When I tried to sign up to Hotel Tonight with my Facebook account I got an error message, even though my internet connection was just fine.
*(BUG) The second bug I found was when you went to view the hotel from Bing maps and tried to change the type of the map, the names of the different map types were written some other language.
*(Needs Improvement)PROMO CODE” should appear before or at the top of the code not below it. I was getting confused if my name was the promo code or not
*(Needs Improvement)The slider to add extra nights is a bit confusing. At first I didn't even notice it, then when I did I was already on a specific hotel's page, and so sliding it did..nothing, it just snapped back. Presumably this was because the hotel didn't have multiple nights available (eh, it happens.) but the lack of any explaination or error message was a bit frustrating. (Eventually I figured I could back out to the city page to get the slider to work without problems) -
I don't use this kind of app, because they are 80% fake. But this one is amazing, I only use this app one time and it is just amazing......
-
Doesn't yet support where I live. But looks to be a nice app.
-
I like it.
-
i guess this is one of the few apps which completely bring out the beauty of the window 8 UI. This app is really attractive.
-
Nice design :)
-
• What I like: Nice UI - smooth - many supported regions.
• What I suggest: reviewing feature, which I can see reviews from people about a hotel - add more region, still doesn't support my city :| - sort or filter hotel by stars or price. -
I have to travel for work often (and having to find my own hotel room), so this should come in handy. The interface looks great.
-
It has a very nice UI. Tried it on my computer and the app does its job. Us "early birds" though have to wait hours to get to see the app working. It would be nice to display some data about the hotel during that time instead of just displaying a timer with a background picture behind it (which is beatiful btw, but trivial). Great app, but can see improvements
-
The UI is really good, I will download this the next time I'll go to holiday
-
very fresh app. But unfortunately I am not so much traveling but when I do it next time ... It's very simple and I get all the information I want. I also like that there is in other countries, but there are still not many hotels to choose from. I like very much that the app is on Pade phone and tablet.
-
Great app and the UI is well design
-
Just downloaded it. It's quite good, but there aren't nearly enough countries. It'd better increase else I don't see me using this as my stock hotel app.
-
I'm going to see how this stacks up against the booking.com app on Windows 8. I like the booking.com website but the app itself feels a bit unintuitive. Downloading now.
-
I like the app, but I think I don't travel enough to use it frequently... Maybe I should change that :D
-
I love the hotel presentation stuff..and mostly but mostly..the fact than u can prepay your room..and see the cost exactly...no hidden/bad surprises:)
-
Beautiful, simple and clean UI, easy to use and understand.
Totally recommend it to anyone -
Nice app
-
Tested this app on the original Surface RT. I really like the layout of the app and it runs very smooth. It's clean and only the most important info is there; no info over-kill which is a big plus. I also really like the ability to see on a map where the hotels are. What I'm missing is user (mini) reviews and/or ratings. Also missing the ability to search for specific hotels. Would also like to see which points of interest are close the the hotel (and how far away) as a separate category in the hotel view. Also would be nice to have a category in the hotel view about reachability of the hotel: is it close to a metro station / bus station / airport / parking lot, is there a shuttle bus to/from airport, how much is parking, etc. For reviews it's also important to mention the date it was reviewed, because things might have changed in the meanwhile. Missing contact details for some hotels (phone number and/or email). Overall would probably use this app to search for hotels for basic info, but I'm not sure yet about booking. Would need more hotels in more cities and more essential info as mentioned above to be an app that I would use more often.
-
Daniel i have downloaded this app and tried it but as i live in India and this app does not have hotels in India but i did try other places and i like the UI very nice app. . .
-
would be useful on my next vacation, love the UI
-
I think I like the logo more than anything, haha. Partly because I don't spend any time in hotels...
-
PROS : Great user interface. Simple to use. CONS: Could have a lighter theme or background. Can integrate with calender.
-
Best thing about this app is it being a univeersal app. Works great on mobile amd my desktop.. Would like to see more hotel partnerships..
-
I always use kayak for this sort if thing. Definitely a well laid out application. Will definitely keep it in mind for my next trip. Now... Where to go??? jejeje
-
Wow very nice UI. I really like it. Maybe not all animations aren't smooth on my lumia 925 but it's ok. I hope you guys add other cities
-
The interface of the app is smooth but it's only limited to certain countries and aren't worldwide. Besides its taking too much time to load the app as I'm using Nokia Lumia 620. Maybe the app can have a joint app with HERE app. It would be better as I love the app so much. Traveling would be better if both app can be combined together.
-
Looks good, probably doesn't have NZ hotels but worth a look
-
Living in the most popular tourist destination ever there are plenty of hotels around. I'll probably never use this for myself, but it'll be handy for the next 20 'close friends' or 'long lost relatives' who think I run a hostel.
-
Its so difficult finding a decent hotel. I love the fact it essentially groups then into a standard format so you can compare different hotels. Plus its laid out metro style so its all looks great on a Windows 8x tablet.
-
Great looking app.
-
Here are my opinions on the Windows Phone 8 version of the app: UI: Really impressive, great design, includes full screen maps for the selected hotel Social: The option to sign in with a FB account is good but I think it should be expanded, for say: twitter, google+ and other social network account should be supported. Informations about the hotels: I tried the app, and I think it shows all the needed infos from a hotel that is needed. Possible bugs: I didn't found any bugs in the app, which is great, no slowdowns, no slow loading,... And the free WINTONIGHT (-$40) promo code is a great idea, I have to say.
-
I love this app. It has been on iOS for a while now, and I was really excited when it was finally released onto Windows Phone.
-
My wife has this app on her phone and we have found it useful. A new option on our Surface is welcomed.
-
I was trying to avoid rush hour so I checked to see how cheap I could get a room the night before. Great price and it was only 6 minutes from my destination. No rush hour travel. YAY!!!
-
This application is great for anyone who travels a lot. It shows great information that's relevant for a hotel room. Mainly things soemone cares about what the rooms have and the amenities. it makes it easy to select your best choice.
-
Love to win :)
-
Once I have the money to actually travel this seems like it will be a very useful app. It's so great when the same app is available on both Windows Phone and Windows 8 with a simlar look and feel.
-
I felt like the app was smooth, had a great interface, quick, but choosing your city unless it was your Gps location wasn't as intuitive as I would have expected. All around a great app that is pinned to my start page.
-
Hi this my complete review on Hotel tonight.
Frst of all what I liked about the app.
1.Its UI ,which is awesome.*****
2.i really liked the thing of the details it gave me categerising things like about services which are provided in hotel.
3.the app theme is comletley according to its name all dark like its at night.(specially black background)
Now wat I din't like..
•The category menu was sumtimes confusing due to the same colour of country name and city name; they both needs to be different.
Suggestions..
•There should be an option included to read reviews given by people who have tried that hotel.
That would give a more detailed impression on customers.
And also help us to choose a better hotel.
•There should be an option included oto choose hotel according to the budget of customer or the list should be given according the cheapest on top to increasing to bottom. -

Good presentation and makes finding a hotel very simple. The page for each hotel is laid out well with a nice image carousel at the top, a map view and plenty of info on the second page. Compared to the Expedia web app it is a lot easier to use but doesn't offer as many options.

Wat I liked about the app.
1the UI of the app which is awesome*****
2.the theme of the app is acording to its name which is black its all dark like night.
3the detailed information,it gave me about the services we get in hotel.
Now wat I dint like
It somitems was confusing for me to choose the city as the font colour for city name and country were same.. So it needs to be made different
Now some suggestions
1.there should be an option include for reading reviews about the hotels given by the people who have tried,that hotel.
That would,give us a detailed impression about that hotel and more over would help customers to chosse a good option for them.
2the list of the hotels given should be sorted in invreasing order of the rates like cheapest on top then decreasing rates
3.a seperate option to sort hotels according to,the requrements of the customer like budget ,facilities etc. -
The app looks really neat. (Sadly) in germany there are only hotels for the 5-6 biggest cities. The hotels, which are available are also kinda expensive. Add some more cities and hotels (also some cheap ones, so the app is also usefull for young people not just businessmen. The optic and usability is really cool, though. Will definitly try it!
-
Not something I would really use but defentitely an awesome example how universal apps should be. Great design and smooth handling!

Hi this my complete review on Hotel tonight.
Frst of all what I liked about the app.
1.Its UI ,which is awesome.*****
2.i really liked the thing of the details it gave me categerising things like about services which are provided in hotel.
3.the app theme is comletley according to its name all dark like its at night.(specially black background)
Now wat I din't like..
•The category menu was sumtimes confusing due to the same colour of country name and city name; they both needs to be different.
Suggestions..
•There should be an option included to read reviews given by people who have tried that hotel.
That would give a more detailed impression on customers.
And also help us to choose a better hotel.
•There should be an option included oto choose hotel according to the budget of customer or the list should be given according the cheapest on top to increasing to bottom. -
Sorry for spamming

Sorry for spamming so many times.....

Just tried this app, I have to say that it's quite good considering that it's the first version. I appreciated that the app gives you 25$ of discount for your first reservation, it's a good incentive from the developers that gives you the idea that they are very committed to the app.
I liked that for every hotel there's a section that gives you a brief explanation of why you should like that hotel and what distinguish it from others.
Another thing that I liked it's the feeling using the app: it's very informal and this makes it a pleasure to use. I think that there are a few things that could improve this app: - obviously adding more and more cities and hotels around the world
- I missed a home button, the only way I found to return to the main page was clicking many times on the back button
- more appealing visuals: the black background (eyes straining) + the minimalistic design gives you the impression that the developer didn't put much effort in this area, even because the photos of the hotels are often poorly made (but I think the developer is not to blame here). The animation on the contrary are really good and appealing. I would use a lighter theme and a background image/pattern instead of a solid color.
- the search box should be used to search both cities and hotels.
- ability to pin hotels in the startscreen with live tiles showing current prices and photos.
- add a "my favorites" section
- implementing the share contract, very important feature missing.
- it would be great to see what actual customers say about a hotel, so I suggest to add TripAdvisor reviews to every hotel, if possible. Hope my review will be helpful! -
Loving this app. Saw it the other day feauted in the store. Seems like the pictures they have of the hotel are superior to others, which is great, the pictures of the room are the main thing I use to determine if a hotel is in the running for booking, so better quality is a huge help.
-
Great! more apps in the ecosystem to help entice more people to move to windows phone
-
Very usefull app for both win 8.1 and wp. But since i'm from Brazil i'm a bit disapointed since no city in my country is listed. Maybe with time.. Let's see, only time can tell.
-
Nice ap and great UI, its darkness fits hotel tonight ;) but the category menu is confusing: cities and countries should be better divided.. and it needs moooore cities!
-
This is on my download list. I don't travel much but this app could be handy for last minute trips. Posted via Windows Phone Central App
-
I gave this app a spin on my desktop and I have to say I really liked it. It's good looking, responsive and does what it's supposed to. I'll still probably keep on booking hotels through the company's website (for some reason I feel more secure that way) but this was definitely worth a look.
-
Though it seems very easy to use and has a very nice layout, there is simply not enough locations included (in my opinion). For people how only travels to main cities on business it might be the perfect app for quick hotel booking. For the rest of us the usual alternatives must still apply.
-
Great app. A few small touches that really make it enjoyable to use for me: - All key info before taking that first click: price, rating, and tags. Tags immediately give me an idea of what I want, and generally map pretty well. This is what I need to know before narrowing down my decision. Amazing time saver. - Very fluid and compact in terms of packing a great deal of key information within each hotel's profile. I love how the pictures are already there scrolling while I read about the hotel. - Fantastic UI generally. Point of criticism and constructive feedback: - I know this may be contrary to the concept for the app (Hotel Tonight), but I cannot get over the lack of ability to select future dates for booking. For number of nights to so greatly impact the diversity of hotel options available to me, I find it surprising I cannot search with future dates in mind at all, which would almost certainly open up more availability. - Continue to push for more geographies! Many of the hotels listed are chains that extend to locations all around the world. Overall, cool idea for a Hotel finder app. With some added scope to include future booking and more global support, this app could dominate most/all hotel booking apps and websites. Great work!
-
Hotel Tonight seems like a very useful app, having looked for hotels on a number occasions, it is quite hard to find a app to cater for all your needs, unlike this app, I like the fact that this app gives you the rundown of the hotel, like what facilities it has, pictures of the hotel and user reviews, because previously I have had to visit various sites to get this kind of information like the actual hotel website, and then trip adviser just to check reviews of the website, but this app gives me both in one place, cutting down the time it takes to look up a hotel, and then you can book your hotel from the app. I think they have made the app from the consumer point of view rather than the usual way of information overload. The only thing I think they might be able to improve on is maybe to have videos of the hotel. And of course it’s a shame you can only use the app from 9AM to 2AM, it’s not a shop so I don’t see why it can’t be operational 24/7.
-
This app is so useful.... i mean it will be useful when I start travelling around the world. I have downloaded this app.. i wish it contained local hotels in my region.
-
The UI looks pretty good and having a nice decent travel app is always a big benefit. It's good to see some travel information getting attention finally that looks amazing!
-
Public rating is must and also not available in my location.
-
Just installed the app on my Windows 8.1 Llaptop, seems really smooth + the UI looks great. I checked all the most expensive hotels, for fun hahaha.
-
The app by itself has a great user interface but while selecting the city it has a black background which is really irritating.. remind me of running win7.x on my lumia 510. A couple of fancy backgrounds ought to do the trick.
-

-
This app is ok. I have not used many hotel finiding apps, but there should have been different sorting available for the holtels. Like based on price or comfortability as rated by the user or the availability of luxuries or blah blah blah. It was not available for my country(India) still the app was just ok, not great.
-
Downlaoded the app on my phone and here's what i experienced : UI & UX : the app's UI is very catching and its smooth navigating through the app Lovely splash screen ... hope there was lock screen support and that wallpaper. Good animations and the detailed view of the hotels' info ( Wifi, hot tub , number of rooms , restrictions etc.) Would love to see them expanding to India soon. Such a nice and smooth app...reminds me of FB app ... Although FB beta app has improved but will be rejoicing when FB apps becomes as smooth as this app. Have not tried it yet on my Windows 8.1 lappy though but ya will soon try it and see how it works on bigger screen.
-
I love the design and the way it works my family travels a lot and at times my dad has to spend hours booking hotels. This is really a great app
-
What I really like about this is how detailed the explanation regarding the hotels. There are facts about it, such as minimum age to register (big thing) and the personal opinion also helps, to give a different perspective.
-
Really a great app! looks beautiful, works fluid. great great great. only thing that could be better is integration, like calender, alarms etc. maybe in an update :p
-
very smooth and good looking UI. i am a fan finding deals on hotels expecially with the amount of travel i do for work :) more options in each city would be helpful
-
I really like this app, it seems easy enough where you can book a room and forget about the stress of calling to book rooms.
-
WHAT I LIKE: design: clean and very attractive looking app once app is started, but also how information is presented categories for each hotel offers a distinct differentiator from other apps that simply list hotel options WHAT I DONT LIKE: lImited locations and data about each hotel IMPROVEMENTS: Add more locations and data (perhaps tie into reviews from yelp, etc)
-
THe UI definitely makes a great way to book that last minute hotel
-
awesome app! I hope it'll let us choose more days soon though.
-
Nice!!!
-
Very cool app. Do not use it a lot. But when I ever need a room, I will surely use this app to find one.
-
Need more places.
-
Hopefully Telus here in Canada will actually start to carry some new Windows Phones so that I'll be able to have this app on the go.
-
The app works great! The only hing it really needs is more choices of hotels. I guess in time that wil happen though.
-
It would be nice if we could pin individual hotels to the start screen and be able to monitor the price fluctuations from there. Still I love the WP8 style of this app. Couldn't find anything for Bournemouth on the South Coast of the UK though. Hopefully with time the app can give us more options.
-
What i liked about the app: -The beautiful splash screen when i open the app.
-The design and UI are awesome.Feeling love with design and UI of app.
-I like the details about the hotels like free wifi available,check in time and check out time etc. which make this app different from other apps.
-Auto-moving pictures in the background when open the hotel info.Firstly in thought it is a bug because pics not loaded at that time. But after loading pics looks great in the background.
-i also like booker photos and info and amenities section.
-No bugs
-Running smooth on my phone
-Liked showing location of hotel in the map and recently viewed hotels. What i don't like about this app: -No support for my country(India).
-No transparent live tile Suggestion: -Bring support for transparent live tile.
-Bring support for another countries as soon as possible. -
This application is beautiful. it runs so smoothly on my phone. The hotel pictures are perfect for judging the hotel or motel. I like how I can book in just a couple clicks of the app. The app has a calendar, reviews, maps and pictures but it needs more cities!! im going on a trip to seattle this weekend and i wanted to use the app but SEATTLE!? isn't one of the participating cities yet.
-
Sleek and neat app for booking hotels with ease. Very simple and informative, just keep rolling out updates for new content
-
The Great thing of this app is it's user interface. And also it's free!
-
Now this looks like the sort of app Microsoft should be bragging about! (or maybe they are seeing as this article exists.) Great effort by the devs on this one, really nice use of Modern UI!
-
Very nice app and interface! If I was with my previous employer, this would have simplified things for me greatly!
-
One word: gorgeous! One thing that could be improved is being able to search for countries AND cities at the same time. As of now I can't just search for Sweden and see the available places, but I have to browse through the list of all the cities. There isn't really much more to say to be honest. I don't know how accurate the reviews of the hotels are, or if the hotels at the list has bought themselves there, but as far as the app goes: Perfect* * If the search gets added search functionality that is :) I'll keep this app in case of any urgent travels, because it might come in handy! :)
-
Looks like this could be interesting when traveling, but as that only happens a couple times a year I don't know how useful it would be. When we travel we're usually searching for a good place to stay overnight before we move on - kid-friendly, clean, safe, relatively inexpensive, and having a breakfast can be a bonus. For extended stays, we're looking for a kitchen and separate rooms if possible, with price being a major factor in our decisions. I may download this as we get closer to our traveling time.
-
The UI is fantastic. I love how it looks. The pictures are stunning, and it is incredibly easy to use. I did notice that although, I'm currently 140 miles away from Milwaukee, WI (Same state) it shows me Milwaukee Hotels aside from the local ones. This might be a setting that I need to look into, but so far a very solid app.
-
I like how the UI flows like windows 8, its really cool that you can get $40 bucks off with the promo code
-
Very nice app to have. It can be pretty stressful finding a hotel on short notice. This could be very helpful.
-
UI is nice, I'd still prefer to see what other options I have on the web myself.
-
looks like a well-designed metro-style app, with large helpful photos
-
Very useful app. I love in New Orleans and searched and found a few awesome deals on rooms at hotels I'd generally not consider. The app is simple yet informative which makes it a huge plus.
-
Their tile icon takes "simplicity" and "minimalism" to a weird level! Would be great if they redesigned it.
-
Best last minute booking app.
-
To be honest I haven't downloaded it because I don't need it right now, but it looks pretty nice and detal. I like because it's free and it could be usefull one day for me. The ony thing I don't like about this app is that it doesn't support all the cities and countries. This app could be better by supporting new and smaller cities. It's ok for now.
-
Very helpfull, but it's interface could use a little bit more colour.
-
Awesome app. I'll be definitely using the $40. I wish it would include hotel Groupon offers in the area I'm searching for.
-
Woburn?
-
I'am the first one to like this app when it comes to India but for now it too good in handling the heat....!!!!
-
This is a very smooth and good-looking app! The maps integration could be improved - but I don't know how bing or here maps can be implemented as of today, do they allow that you e.g. can switch to here drive if you need directions to the place? The really big differentiator of this app to the yet also awesome Bing Travel App is the ability to do the payment in-app and not getting redirected to a regular website. This touch-friendly option is really huge! You could improve: The way, information is presented on the screen. For me, it's too many boxes and too many images mixed with another. Why not accentuate the text sections and picture sections with a framing color or something similar? PS: Works great in Switzerland!
-
Excellent job on the look-and-feel. My one request (apologies if it is a limitation of the site or API) is that I cannot filter. For example, I want to search only for the super tricked out rooms.
-
I tried the Windows Phone Version. Pro The app has a Nice and Clear Design - I like the „Slide down to show Pictures“ in the Detail view of a Hotel. I like it when apps use the Black Theme. The app is also available in german language. Con There are too less citys and hotels in the app
-
This definitely is a pretty app. I like that it integrated hotel information with room specifics like wi-fi and mini bars. I just wish it had more cities, that is what would get people to use this app! It would also be cool to see reviews about the hotels, either directly inputted in the app by app users, or outsources from other hotel websites.
-
Hotel tonight is one those apps you don't need often, but if you need it there are super handy.
Like the titel already says, this app is made if you need an hotel TONIGHT.
It features a lot of hotels from different city's ask over the world. Unfortunately not every city in every country.
The app has a wonderful interface with fantastic page transitions, gestures and animations. But no support for the light theme :(.
If you sometimes need to travel unexpected for your work, then is this THE app you need! -
This app seems very fluid and well thought out. Navigation is very easy ans straight forward. The only thing I wish it has was a way to include Express Deals from Priceline. They are hard to beat, but I would assume they want users to frequent their site for those perks.
-
I love ur forms and updates wpcentral
-
I love ur forms and updates wpcentral
-
This may have 10000 locations but it does not have Croatia, at all. To be the best they need to cover more!
-
I couldn't find my previous post so this is my edit: Hotels need more details, other users' reviews, good things and bad things etc...
-
I really like the app, although it doesn't support my country but still I will give it a review.
--------------------------
First Impression (9.8/10):
--------------------------
App looks beautiful, Icon is beautiful, Live Tile is beautiful and most of all UI is incredible. And the utility it provides is un-matched.
----------------------------
User Interference (10/10):
----------------------------
This app has one of the nicest UI around, it have simple minimal UI, but provides all the necessary information.
Both Windows Phone & Windows version are beautiful. The information both apps provide is not overkill.
--------------
What I Like:
--------------
Seriously this app is perfect, everything about this app is great.
• It has one of the most beautiful UI.
• It is simple, fast, fluid and smooth to use.
• Makes booking hotel on the go much easier.
• Loved the fact that it is an universal app.
• App is free.
• It is incredible that they have 10,000 hotels partners.
• App has beautiful minimalistic design yet it provides all the necessary information.
--------------------
What I Don't Like:
--------------------
Absolutely nothing, it is one of the nicest and more better apps around. However the only thing I don't like about app is.
• App is only available in 24 countries (Please expand your base to Asian Countries too).
---------------
Suggestions:
---------------
• Add Push Notifications for deals.
• Please bring the service to more countries.
-------
Bugs:
-------
I seriously didn't find any bugs, apart from occasional lag while opening pics, but I know it will be fixed in future update.
------------------
Overall (9.8/10):
------------------
It is a really beautiful app and a nice addition to Windows Phone. If it supports your country then I urge you to download it immediately. -
This app will be really helpful on my next trip. Although i found a few hotels missing in my area, but that's just another 3rd world problem i guess. Good app.
-
That's a nice app, but I found that the prices are "buggy"... Often the price shown by the app changes when you are going to book the hotel. The choice of hotels/towns is rather limited (I did not check for US) and sometimes prices are too high compared to other search platforms. On the bright side, I like the UI / search features. Is there any way to change the currency?
-
nice cool app. Very helpull.
-
- At first I didn't like the h logo, but it really grew on me after some time.
- I like the nice UI and running smoothly on my old laptop.
- You can try the app without creating an account.
- Universal app, so it already scores points from me. Good job.
- Could be an nice addition to have an money exchange rate built in (might be wrong about this, but I wasn't able to find this feature)
- Could add more cities and countries imo. In my country, it only has 2 cities. Can be more helpful to have the whole country covered. Keep expanding the database please.
- Hope to see more of the photo's. Just curious about the hotel rooms I might be staying. -
This is some nice app. Neat. very useful thanks
-
Yay! Another universal app! The UI on this is slick and gorgeous. I love how they put all of the important information all together. It is really frustrating using some of the different hotel sites because I sometimes have to dig for the information I want (if it's even there to begin with). I haven't been able to play around with it much yet but how have the prices for Hotel Tonight faired next to the prices from other booking sites/services?
-
haven't tried it out yet, but i will. seems pretty nice made and very easy to use. hope there will be lots of hotels europe too.
-
It does not support India yet but my use of the app shows that it is remarkably beautiful and easy to use. The app has good options for last minute bookings as well. About the places i know, the options are quite limited and that puts off the potential customer. It can have sections on advanced booking and last minute bookings. That will ensure that all users are covered. That said, when I compared the prices, I was impressed since this offers good deals on last minute bookings.
-
I don't travel so I might not be needing this app...
-
This app has a nice and clean UI which is a breeze to browse around. I don't travel much and therefore do not feel the need to keep this app on my phone. But if I ever will, this must be the one I will want assistance from. It provide the basic needed information for who want to book a hotel. I wish it had this feature where users can post images of the hotel they logged into. This shall give a real view of how good the hotels are.
-
The app is smooth with no hiccups or sort. I kind of like how viewing the hotel photos at the background. I know getting details of many places is hard, but would love to see some parts of Asia included. I also like the reminder countdown.
-
this i love, we need more and better apps to help us travel. this is one of the prettiest i've seen.
-
Looking good !
Let me try it !
Downloading . . -
Great UI. Is it possible to pay with paypal?
-
Nice app. It would be even better if it said some where what 24 countries are supported, as now it only says Europe, Nort America and so on. Starting to be a bit tight with space until I have bought a SD card.
-
Never used an app like this...I have never seen the point of it. But you know what? you should DEFINELETY give it a try!^^
*also like the UI -
The app itself is very nice, but I've found the pricing is not significantly better than prices on other last minute deal sites who post earlier than noon. That said, compared to the hotels' prices it's significantly better!
-
It is a nice app. It have a great design, Its pictures are beautiful. Furthermore, It have prices. It could be better If they add more information and more pictures, and more Hotels.
-
Will definately use this app for my next trip ! Thanks for showing us these great apps !

-
Good to see more developers taking advantage of universal apps, maybe they could add some sort of cross-device sync? from windows 8 to windows phone? like you could look at a hotel and pull it up on your phone
-
Bang on time! We were just planning our summer holidays but were not able to come on final plan. Thanks to Hotel Tonight that now we can have final time offers to choose from hotels so that we don't need to plan our holidays well in advance.
-
It's been a very busy day reviewing apps today for me and Hotel Tonight was one of them! Here is What i found: WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THE APP: Developers take a bow! You've created one of the most beautiful apps in the windows store i've ever come across. UI is Superbly amazing! The Best part is this app covers 24 countries! Mind-Blowing! Its very simple! And your room is booked in seconds! This is the last resort for the ones who are facing a need of booking a room urgently! The App, apart from being beautiful, is great, Performance wise! This App gives all the required info about the hotel! User Ratings are very Handy! Catogorisation of hotels is a plus point! "Why we like it", "Need to know", "The room", "The Hotel"and "The food & Drink" make this app uniquely different from other apps! WHAT I DIDN"T LIKE ABOUT THE APP: INDIA is not supported! Well! This made me disappointed! Period! WHAT THIS APP NEEDS: Add More countries! (India PLease!).. Add some more themes! Like Light-Theme or something else like that.. Thats It! WRAPPING IT UP: Overall i had a mesmerizing experience using this app! Absoulte Beauty! This app can definitely become your primary hotel booking app for sure! Give it a try and you'll never regret! Download it now! Double Kudos to the Developers! Amazing!
-
I like the user interface. And i also like how it gives a detailed info about the hotels
-
Did anyone get any good deals yet?
-
Wow. What a beautiful app!! And such a sexy logo/tile image to go with it. It is definitely better than the makemytrip app. Great job, dev. Thanks :)
-
Nice and fast universal app, surprisingly working even in Czech Republic (Prague). Maybe could use little bit more settings, than just location on/off.
-
Nice to see that Hotel Tonight is a universal windows app, like the clean user interface and good quality location photos, the precise and useful information provided like hotel room description, features and amenities description in a clean manner is the major plus point for this app.
-
I really like the personal touch this app gives to hotel reviews. I just wish it covered more, less major cities. However, I'm not a fan of how the app only shows a selection of the hotels and not all of them. I suppose this is useful for only finding deals, but a national-brand hotel I used to frequent in Cleveland was not listed and I was curious to read the review. Definitely do like the custom photos and written comments. Much better than the PR stuff on the official hotel's websites.
-
Good job on making the app Universal. The app actually looks very good but I can't appreciate it that much since the number of countries are limited right now.
-
It should add a option to sort hotel by price. It would be great if it integrate with the GPS apps in phone by clicking the hotel address. Few picture of hotel should be included, or else it is good also if it direct us to Bing search for the hotel. User review section can be added as new features so that we can know the hotel is really good/bad. More price details of the hotel like rate for different rooms.
-
i like this app. but it would be better if my country is supported because as of the moment Philippines is not supported
-
Very well designed app, both on W8 and WP8. But as others have mentioned, it's not for everyone, because the collection is small and only a hand full of cities are available. I understand that curating the list of hotels has got it's merits, but due to that the app will only be useful for people who have the money and not the time to look for a better alternative. I'm sure the list will only grow and from what i've seen this could be a nice app for frequent travellers. When searching for a city in the W8 app, you don't get any feedback that the city is not available other than nothing showing up. Would be great to have some hint that there are no results, like in the WP8 app.
I'd also like to see other payment methods. the best thing would be to allow payment through wallet, even it my paying option only includes something like paypal. Having only credit card seems limiting. -
The good things are 1) It is very simple use and awesome UI - miles ahead in design than other apps in this category which i know of 2) Need i say UNIVERSAL app are always great Suggestion 1) Need to add many more contries
-
Ok I don't do much traveling but I'd say it has a nice UI
-
Beautiful UI
-
Is booking a hotel from your phone fun?
-
Sadly, I haven't been on a vacation in a while. However, I donwloaded the app for future use because I really like the flat, modern UI. In playing around with the app, I really like the hotel detail view where you can tap on the behind image to go full screen and slide through them, and then tap again to get the text details again.
-
The app is, indeed, very beautiful. I found myself looking for hotels all over the world, even if in my country the app only shows about four hotels. I love the fact that you can click the images and see them almost instantaneously in full screen. There is absolutely no lag and everything is very fluid. I would like to see more languages available.
-
I can't really test this in Kyrgyzstan, but I am well travelled. I have to wonder if it is possible to integrate the program with popular websites like tripadvisor or even B&B websites. I am not entirely sure if these companies have open APIs that would allow it, but it would still be awesome. It might also partially address the low quantity of countries available.
-
There are a couple of things I like about this app. First and foremost the beautifull and simple, yet easily usable design. Secondly the fast and fluid performance. The integration of different languages (in my case german) is a very welcome feature. The colorcoded hotelclasses (basic, luxe, ...) and map functions are helpful, too. Highlighted places of interest could help for orientation. It would be nice to not only see the rating in percentage but to be able to READ the reviews. Moreover I noticed, that some of the pictures used in the app have a bad quality. But I quess that's because of the source they were taken from e.g. the hotels homepage. The number of hotels is sadly very small and so is the price range. Looking forward to additions over time. Lumia 920 with WP 8.1 Developer Preview
-
A decent user interface. But providing good offers and bargains is the best part...
-
Sadly this app isnt available in India. So changed regions to download on my dad's 920...very intutive..the app's design make it pleasant to view the details..Quite good compared to the apps we have here.checked out their website too, it isnt an app thing..they have covered India yet. Seems like a high profile app though...wonder why it would get promoted through this series then..? It will eventually catch on without help..its popular on the other OSes right..? :)
-
Stunning design and very clear way of summarizing the important information. 10000 hotel partners in 24 different countries sounds like this app is on the right track.
-
Great app, but obviously requires some updates like it takes a lot of time to load on my phone , and also they need a currency converter sort of functionality
-
Hm.., to offer worldwide hotels info is may be unreachable.
-
That's a good one. Will try it out next time I go on a vacation.
-
I'll remember this when planning my next trip.
-
Very nice and smooth app. Works like a charm. I am now able to order a hotel in no time!
-
The app runs fast and smooth. But what really caught my eye is how beautifully designed it is. Absolutely gorgeous! :)
I like how the countries, cities etc. are nicely divided into categories. The app also provides a lot of details about hotels, which is essential for this kind of apps.
Another good thing- it is a universal app.
I would like to see transparent live tile in the next update. Also a search button to search for hotels by names and more countries.
All in all, a useful and beautiful app for those whose countries are supported. -
Design is great, but the features and the hotel search needs improvement, although that could be to do with the API in use.
-
It's great to see developers take on our OS, and it seems like a more rapid change today with universal apps seemingly enticing over developers :)
-
Quite simple and intuitive... Cortana integration will be the cherry on cake :)
-
Compared to the booking sites I normally use online, this app simply doesn't cover enough hotels or places. Also I am a heavy user of filters to limit the number of possibilities and from what I found this isn't possible in the app. Lastly I usually read user reviews on both the booking page and on tripadvisor.
-
Nice hotel room booking app for windows... I really like the look of the UI
-
As an Argentinian I am jelous of having this app in my country at its full potential, can´t wait for some of these awsome apps to integrate more places.
-
Gonna try it in my upcoming short trip!
-
This is a must have for travelers and even if you don't travel a lot you should use this app and the $40 off code to take a night out and relax at a nice hotel.
-
Going to Vegas in a month. Guess what Im gonna use?
-
Useful for the repetitive traveler, or the weekend warrior. Spur of the moment traveler a must to have.
-
Great application as a whole. I didn't find anything wrong with it and have already booked a hotel for the family's annual summer road trip. Very clean and well organized when listing information.
-
I really like the design of this app. For some reason it gets the modern UI just right while still being unique. For a lot of apps the UI just looks boring. But in this case they managed to give it enough flair to stand out.
-
Visually - almost perfect! That's how the most WP apps should utiliye the design guidelines! I wish I could have more control on filteering the Hotels. I mean by price, by distance and so on. Keep going!
-
Pretty slick looking app.
-
If I was going to a hotel, this looks like a nice intuative app. Looks nice and clean. I would request a light version if there isn't one already
-
Beautiful App but very limited on Canadian Cities, and very picky on which hotels it features
-
This will be a great app for those nights out when you just gotta get a hotel room quick.
-
Another great travel tool indeed... though this one could use some work. I think there is definitely not enough hotels listed to make it useful for my tastes. The UI is not too bad though.
-
Thanks! Been looking app like this
-
does this app cover south east asia?
-
does this app cover cities in thailand and singapore?
-
This is probably a tall order, but it would be nice to have some integration with points/rewards programs so that I could book a room with my Marriott reward points (for example).
-
Another app with a beautifull user interface. Keep them coming! Seems more something for a road trip though so will be something I'll put to use in another year.
-
Best Hotel booking app ever
-
Cool app. I put it in standby while there are no hotels in Brazil, but gonna keep it in case I ever travel abroad.
-
I like the interface and design of the app, however there are some things that could be improved: I would like to see a function to leave comments about hotels. (It would help tremendesly to choose the right hotel). Also some sort of watch functionality would be nice (e.g. notifications if there is a deal that matches predefined constraints) Otherwise good app :)
-
I've only used the app once (from the phone version), but have the tablet version as well. Both are very well laid out and easy to use. I really can't say much more, but I do highly reccomend them.
-
For a person who's really bad at planning where to stay during vacation, this is a must-have app. Found a lot of places around my hometown, but I will compare to HRS on my next trip. With an app like that, I will always have the feeling of not seeing all options around me thou, so it probably won't remain my only search-option.
-
Wow!!! I am definitely going to give this app a try on windows and windows phone. Looks great. Thanks for the heads up. :)
-
I am not a big fan of these kind of apps. But this app takes a different approach. So it makes me comfortabel using it for hotel search.
-
Nice for those travelers, the problem would be finding the best hotel.
-
This one is a hidden gem indeed - beautiful UI, fast and sleek. The only thing that bothers me is the poor hotel list. Oops... and I've just found a big! Launched the app, selected Berlin (it was in the list already). A new page appears telling me "We're tracking today's best last minute room, etc." There is a timer showing 0:00 and the page keeps reloading over and over :) One stars less! :)
-
Holy crap this is a beautiful app. This dev totally get's how to layout an app without falling into the stale templates that others do. They really understand Metro as well, again without just falling back on bland templates. Content is king. For any app devs out there, definitely look at this as a great example of what you can do with your app. Simple and excellent. Well done!
-
I really like the way this app is presented. Unfortunately I don't actually need to book a hotel right now but my favourite feature is the one where they have the bulleted list with what they like and FYI information.
-
I like the additional information offerred for hotels...very useful.
-
Works great for me.
-
Its nice to se more and more interesting tools like this on Windows/WP.
-
Holy hell this app is amazing. Pros: BEAUTIFUL layout. Now THIS is an example of how a developer can use the modern UI properly and efficiently. I love the layout. Everything makes sense and is extremely smooth. All of the information is in a spot that makes sense and is easy to see. The pictures came up quickly, were higher quality (as in not pixelated or too small. They served their purpose!) than I expected and the rates seemed nice. I'd use this app to book a hotel before Priceline or Booking.com because of the smooth interface and whole aura of the app. I don't say this often, but the app felt high quality and I would rather use it than an actual website. As stated multiple times this app just made sense and that is all I really want. Cons: I didn't actually book a hotel so I don't know about the payment aspect, but as far as I know there are no cons. This app is perfect. 10/10 guys. Great job on this one.
-
The interface seems to sacrifice functionality for sleekness. I've seen much better on other platforms.
-
great App
-
This app is awesome! Especially the 40 windows phone credit! I used this app like 2 days after it launched and it helped us add a day onto our anniversary weekend which was awesome!
-
Awesomeness unleashed, a must have app. Please make it for India. Very clean UI and provide all the info. i love the UI.
-
I like the minimalism of this app. I tried the Windows 8.1 version and miss a couple of things: There may be something wrong with the price calculator: as it displays the same price no matter how many days you selected The slider selector is a good concept but it has its limits: what if I want to book for 6 days? All cities list could get a semantic zoom: If I pinch it could show list of countries
-
Well hell, this would've made booking accomodations in Austin for my brother and myself much easier. Next time, I suppose.
-
I really like the app . The UI is beautiful, simple to use and fast. Nice description of hotels around the world. Now, I will reallly use this app whenever I am out of my City !
-
As I always used iOS I must say this app is gorgeous!
-
Unfortunatelly I am not a big fan of going away on vacation, I am usualy visiting friends and staying with them. But next time I am goign on vacay, I am going to try this.
-
Like it
-
Great but must support more hotels. Also why doesnt apps in general display a background image, it will fill the empty
-
useful app for frequent travellers
-
USER INTERFACE: *One of the best apps which I could get on on Windows Phone.
*Slideshow of Hotel Pics at background made app look more dynamic
*The loading is smooth and fast. The animations are nice and swift, especially the bed that magnifies and faded out just after loading.
*Simplicity and User Friendly Rating would be ( 7/10 ).
*I would love the app to show me a “TOUR” when I use it for the first time cause there is so much to see and understand in this app PROS: *I really liked how you could use the slider to adjust the number of nights for your stay and it would update the price to reflect the days.
*The app gives detailed information about the hotels, for example has the hotel an WIFI, which is an important info to all geeks like us.
*The app also has an pretty good integration with bing maps, which can be really usefull sometimes. CONS (Needs improvement): *There is a big thing missing... It definitely should have an option to sort the results by price. Or maybe an option to search or filter results by category (5 stars, 3 stars, basic, and so on...) An option to specify more than 5 nights would also be welcome.
*I couldn't cancel the booking nor refund option is there. I suppose the hotels are not allowing refunds.
*(BUG) I found two bugs in the app.
First you have an problem with Facebook integration. When I tried to sign up to Hotel Tonight with my Facebook account I got an error message, even though my internet connection was just fine.
*(BUG) The second bug I found was when you went to view the hotel from Bing maps and tried to change the type of the map, the names of the different map types were written some other language.
*(Needs Improvement)PROMO CODE” should appear before or at the top of the code not below it. I was getting confused if my name was the promo code or not
*(Needs Improvement)The slider to add extra nights is a bit confusing. At first I didn't even notice it, then when I did I was already on a specific hotel's page, and so sliding it did..nothing, it just snapped back. Presumably this was because the hotel didn't have multiple nights available (eh, it happens.) but the lack of any explaination or error message was a bit frustrating. (Eventually I figured I could back out to the city page to get the slider to work without problems) -

+ minimal UI and its User friendly designed
+ interesting Slideshow of the Hotelpics :)
- There ist no defined ability to filter the results -
The app looks great from what I can tell, but sadly they say it isn't launched in my area yet. It seems to be for bigger cities (which makes sense). I'll have to try it out the next time I'm going to be staying overnight in a bigger city. The app installed quickly, though, and at 4 MB it won't use up much space on your phone.
-
Providing user raitings is nice and very useful idea. Additional points for making the apps free for both Windows and Windows Phone.
-
Helpful app, great!
-
I hardly travel because of the nature of my job but do hope that who use this app often find it very useful. It's a beautiful and nicely designed app though.
-
Not available in my country, Malaysia. So no use at all lol.
-
I couldn't find anything for my trip through Montana. If you're looking for small towns, this app won't have listings.
-
I like the layout a lot. Less is more and this app layout will defintely help to find the best hotel the fastest,
-
I really love the interface of this app both on my Lumia 820 and Surface RT- clean, simple, beautiful and intuitive. Love the universal app element which makes it truly useful for my mobile computing life.
Criticisms:
- Not yet available for Australian destinations (uninstall!)
- i want to log in with my Microsoft Account -
It doesn't cover Sweden right now, but I'll be waiting for it...
-
I hope dis app can b used in india...
-
Even if it might not be an app that is available in my country, I found the app very useful.
-
The UI, information, and presentation are fabulous. Really great stuff. Other companies should look at this as an example. Really, no complaints on that side. But... it doesn't support Canada too well. The biggest hurdle is coverage. Otherwise, this would be an absolute killer app.
-
great app, easy to use, clean UI, will give it a shot to find hotels on my next trip!
-
This is a stellar app. The UI is very clean and everything seems to be integrated that's needed. I especially like the map icon zooming to a full-size map. The automatic slideshow is also a nice feature. A couple of things I didn't like were, being forced to sign-in for the Atlantic City area and part of the photos navigation. As to the latter, it's nice that you can drag down on the hotel card to review the images but you can't drag back up to reveal the card again. Very good job though!
-
Seems like a pretty useful app to use when you're travelling around in big cities. Although I may not prefer to use it because I prefer to select the hotels that are just cheap and simple which they may not be partners with this app. However, the details like "need to know" and the pictures and the convience are definitely bonuses for this app!
-
It's an app with a huuuuge amount of potential. The good:
- I'm not exagerating when I'm going to say that the design language in this app is as good as it gets! Cuddo's to the developers.
- Expandable map! Why hasn't anyone alse done this in a location based app is a mystery to me, but the devs behind this solid app have thought about everything in my mind. The not so good:
- An app which is constantly expanding is a nice way to put it. Not a lot of cities, but the big ones are there. Conclusion:
Honestly, one of the most beautiful apps (design wise) I have ever layed my eyes on. I hope they expand quickly to more regions and more cities/towns. They would rock the Windows store bigtime if they achieved in their goals. This app is a keeper on both my WP and my Surface. -
I've tried this out, however I haven't actually booked a hotel. It's very rare for me to be on the road and want or need to book a hotel room. I usually use Kayak for personal trips, generally including flight and hotel at the same time. This will be handy if I just need a hotel room for the night, but otherwise it's not a huge use app for me.
-
Very fluid app.
-
Nice app, but would like to see more of it's own personality. More integration with the core phone experience would be nice as well.
-
Downloaded the app on my Nokia tablet. I can't find Norway in the list of countries where I can book rooms. At least it got Sweden and Denmark.
-
Yes...It has impressive design
-
I really like the idea with the Promo code giving you 40$ off of the first booking. Also good job about bringing it to the Windows ecosystem! :)
-
I am quite distrustful to the "best price guarantee" and "exclusive discounts" in hotel reservations. It is too common and usually just an artifical discount.
-
Gave this one a shot, really liked the look and layout but found the hotel selection just too poor for Canada at least. Hopefully this improves because the app has a lot of potential.
-
I don't often travel far enough to warrant staying in hotels but I'm happy HT is on Windows & WP so it'll come handy if & when I need a room to stay. Also thankyou guys for supporting the platforms with a proper app and hope it'll be kept updated in tune with the company's apps on other platforms.

USER INTERFACE: *One of the best apps which I could get on on Windows Phone.
*Slideshow of Hotel Pics at background made app look more dynamic
*The loading is smooth and fast. The animations are nice and swift, especially the bed that magnifies and faded out just after loading.
*Simplicity and User Friendly Rating would be ( 7/10 ).
*I would love the app to show me a “TOUR” when I use it for the first time cause there is so much to see and understand in this app PROS: *I really liked how you could use the slider to adjust the number of nights for your stay and it would update the price to reflect the days.
*The app gives detailed information about the hotels, for example has the hotel an WIFI, which is an important info to all geeks like us.
*The app also has an pretty good integration with bing maps, which can be really usefull sometimes. CONS (Needs improvement): *There is a big thing missing... It definitely should have an option to sort the results by price. Or maybe an option to search or filter results by category (5 stars, 3 stars, basic, and so on...) An option to specify more than 5 nights would also be welcome.
*I couldn't cancel the booking nor refund option is there. I suppose the hotels are not allowing refunds.
*(BUG) I found two bugs in the app.
First you have an problem with Facebook integration. When I tried to sign up to Hotel Tonight with my Facebook account I got an error message, even though my internet connection was just fine.
*(BUG) The second bug I found was when you went to view the hotel from Bing maps and tried to change the type of the map, the names of the different map types were written some other language.
*(Needs Improvement)PROMO CODE” should appear before or at the top of the code not below it. I was getting confused if my name was the promo code or not
*(Needs Improvement)The slider to add extra nights is a bit confusing. At first I didn't even notice it, then when I did I was already on a specific hotel's page, and so sliding it did..nothing, it just snapped back. Presumably this was because the hotel didn't have multiple nights available (eh, it happens.) but the lack of any explaination or error message was a bit frustrating. (Eventually I figured I could back out to the city page to get the slider to work without problems)

*(Needs Improvement)PROMO CODE” should appear before or at the top of the code not below it. I was getting confused if my name was the promo code or not
*(Needs Improvement)The slider to add extra nights is a bit confusing. At first I didn't even notice it, then when I did I was already on a specific hotel's page, and so sliding it did..nothing, it just snapped back. Presumably this was because the hotel didn't have multiple nights available (eh, it happens.) but the lack of any explaination or error message was a bit frustrating. (Eventually I figured I could back out to the city page to get the slider to work without problems)

USER INTERFACE: *One of the best apps which I could get on on Windows Phone.
*Slideshow of Hotel Pics at background made app look more dynamic
*The loading is smooth and fast. The animations are nice and swift, especially the bed that magnifies and faded out just after loading.
*Simplicity and User Friendly Rating would be ( 7/10 ).
*I would love the app to show me a “TOUR” when I use it for the first time cause there is so much to see and understand in this app PROS: *I really liked how you could use the slider to adjust the number of nights for your stay and it would update the price to reflect the days.
*The app gives detailed information about the hotels, for example has the hotel an WIFI, which is an important info to all geeks like us.
*The app also has an pretty good integration with bing maps, which can be really usefull sometimes. CONS (Needs improvement): *There is a big thing missing... It definitely should have an option to sort the results by price. Or maybe an option to search or filter results by category (5 stars, 3 stars, basic, and so on...) An option to specify more than 5 nights would also be welcome.
*I couldn't cancel the booking nor refund option is there. I suppose the hotels are not allowing refunds.
*(BUG) I found two bugs in the app.

*The app also has an pretty good integration with bing maps, which can be really usefull sometimes. CONS (Needs improvement): *There is a big thing missing... It definitely should have an option to sort the results by price. Or maybe an option to search or filter results by category (5 stars, 3 stars, basic, and so on...) An option to specify more than 5 nights would also be welcome.
*I couldn't cancel the booking nor refund option is there. I suppose the hotels are not allowing refunds.
*(BUG) I found two bugs in the app.
First you have an problem with Facebook integration. When I tried to sign up to Hotel Tonight with my Facebook account I got an error message, even though my internet connection was just fine.
*(BUG) The second bug I found was when you went to view the hotel from Bing maps and tried to change the type of the map, the names of the different map types were written some other language.
*(Needs Improvement)PROMO CODE” should appear before or at the top of the code not below it. I was getting confused if my name was the promo code or not
*(Needs Improvement)The slider to add extra nights is a bit confusing. At first I didn't even notice it, then when I did I was already on a specific hotel's page, and so sliding it did..nothing, it just snapped back. Presumably this was because the hotel didn't have multiple nights available (eh, it happens.) but the lack of any explaination or error message was a bit frustrating. (Eventually I figured I could back out to the city page to get the slider to work without problems)

USER INTERFACE: *One of the best apps which I could get on on Windows Phone.
*Slideshow of Hotel Pics at background made app look more dynamic
*The loading is smooth and fast. The animations are nice and swift, especially the bed that magnifies and faded out just after loading.
*Simplicity and User Friendly Rating would be ( 7/10 ).

This app's UI layout is simple, useful and attractive. It was a pitty that not more countries are included, as my own country wasn't available. It would be useful when I'm travelling or on holiday though! Nice job so far, keep working on it guys.

Very nice on last minute rooms - but more filtering - and an eventual link to Cortana would be nice!

I like the design of Hotel Tonight app (Daniel, great pictures!), but the problem is that it usually doesn't find any hotels for cities where I want to go.
It is really a bummer. I want to find hotels for my destination, but it is just suggesting some other cities. This is why I searched the store and found another app that suits my needs. It can always find hotels for my vacation, no matter where I want to go. Ok, I went to only 2 different cities for now, but it did an impressive job finding hotels for me. I tought I should share it because I know that there aren't many windows 8 applications out there: Book a Room for Windows 8 Oh and I also found it on my Windows Phone which is pretty amazing. Regards!
