Review of HotelMap.com

Here’s a site that uses a neat mapping tool, probably the best one I’ve seen for a while:
www.hotelmap.com

Unfortunately it’s limited to central London at the moment, but the reason I like the site:

  1. It’s very easy to use – setting up a ‘new’ map takes a minute 
  2. The end user navigation is excellent – I set a map up for our London office (http://www.hotelmap.com/hotelmap/?pro=M7LUT) and it’s really easy to use – with all the various ‘panels’ around the screen. 
  3. The design is nice – I don’t know who did the mapping (it doesn’t look like Bing or Google). 
  4. The concept is pretty neat, of creating a map based on a central location (like the Endava office, or say, Madame Tussaud’s).

Things that they need to work on:

  1. The prices don't seem particularly great!
  2. The speed of retrieving the costs need to be quicker.

We use HotelMap for our London events - our delegates love it. Not sure I agree with you about prices - it may be London that is expensive and from our experience HotelMap is at least as good and the next guy when it comes to prices - and more importantly at least we are no longer forced to provide our guests with inflated corporate rates.

Thanks for the recommendation - HotelMap is very slick.
