Deutsches Haus saves three hours of work every day with SiteMinder

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Deutsches Haus in Bonn, Germany, has been a true institution in the Rhine metropolis for 70 years. The hosts welcome their guests with true warmth and a family atmosphere. We operate the hotel as the third generation and attach great importance to our guests feeling comfortable with us, emphasises Miles Lazaro, who is currently managing the 46-bed hotel with his mother Cora Hübner-Stauf.

Why it matters: Before discovering SiteMinder’s channel manager, Miles had been working with a different platform for seven years. Initially, the collaboration went smoothly, but then the company’s support became increasingly worse until it was finally discontinued altogether.

"We could no longer work properly so that’s when I became frustrated and started looking for a new partner. However, I already had SiteMinder in mind,” Miles explained.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Ability to access a much simpler and sophisticated technology with more option to promote Deutsches Haus on the booking platform of their preference and use Insights to see all the important parameters directly.

Value for money: Connect to a variety of OTAs and have more features and tools such as online booking engine and Guest Engagement.
Streamline accommodation management: Automating tasks that are handled manually to focus on higher-value activities and save time.
Smooth onboarding process: The transition to SiteMinder’s platform is nothing but smooth sailing thanks to its intuitive and user-friendly design.

📈 The results: Deutsches Haus managed to automate workflows and saves up to three hours of work per day.

According to Miles, the hotel’s external perception has also improved, thanks to improved communication and personalisation delivered by Guest Engagement. This, in turn, has had a positive impact on booking numbers.
"Everything is now automatically booked into the PMS, which wasn’t the case before. A lot of work is being taken off our hands and we’re saving at least three hours every day!" explained Miles.
