Cheap hotel bookings in the BLINK of an eye.

by Holly on January 19, 2012

New app BLINK is taking the smartphone world by storm with its revolutionary booking system that allows you to bag a last minute 4- or 5- star hotel room – typically for less than on the web.

Over 200 hotels in Spain, Italy, France, England, Germany and Portugal have already joined BLINK, with 400 in all major cities in 12 European countries predicted to join the platform by the end of February.

The ground-breaking app is distinctive in only allowing users to make genuine last-minute bookings – securing accomodation on the day of arrival itself.  Because of this, hotels offer outstandingly low rates on rooms that would otherwise lay dormant – better dormant guests than dormant rooms!  Hotels are also safe in the knowledge that they’re not compromising their web price integrity since BLINK only works on phones.  Consumers love the fact that you can stay at the hotel for up to 6 days at these exclusive prices so it’s a genuine win-win for all parties.

The user-friendly booking system lets you book a room in just four screen taps, making it potentially the fastest booking system on the market.  On the first screen you can select the city you’d like to stay in; on the second you choose from four hotels; on the third you can opt to get more information on a hotel; on the fourth you confirm the booking with one click.

The BLINK team have put in the legwork to save you time; they personally visit every single hotel in the app by only selecting those that they feel meet the highest quality standard.  This means that every one of their hand-picked hotels is sure to supply a good night’s rest.

The app is currently available on iPhone and Android but is soon to hit the Blackberry platform too.  Over 36,000 people have already downloaded BLINK – and it’s had several days in the prestigious position of number one download in the Apple App Store travel category.

At last a company is delivering on the promise of “last minute rooms” and “late rooms” which online booking sites once promised but often fail to deliver (on the web you’re often penalised for genuinely late bookings).

We recommend that you go and download the app from the BLINK website or check out this press release to read the full story behind the company.
