You may have seen it, the marketing strategy has been first rate. Hotel Tonight is an idea that surely someone somewhere must have thought of before; the barometer by which all good apps are tested. It’s a simple enough concept: round up all the unsold hotel rooms the world over and offer them up to the discerning public at a price mutually agreeable to both parties. ‘Plan a little less and live a little more’ is the mission statement.

We were recently in a major capital city, in dire need of a hotel room and what a faff it was quite frankly to have to wander round all and sundry. Had we had the Hotel Tonight app, this could have been time better spent. It’s a serious efficient little app with a three swipe to checkout facility that claims to complete the process in under ten seconds. Choose from basic, hip and luxe to suit your personality and the type of journey. Download here.
