From Amsterdam to Byron Bay, new GuestCentrix Hostel.Web cloud based Property Management System wins high praise

Announcement posted by CMS Hospitality 30 Sep 2016

Sydney, Australia - CMS Hospitality, one the world's leading providers of cloud based property management system software for hostels has won high praise at the recent STAYWYSE Youth Travel Conference held in Amsterdam for its new browser-based Property Management System.

Roy McCullagh, CMS Hospitality General Manager said “Our internal research suggests that hostels are putting up with inefficient, manual or inappropriate Property Management Systems which prevent owners from increasing profitability. A large majority of properties are also manually updating multiple systems like OTA’s, channel managers and accounting systems.  Many hostels continue to use hotel based PMS software which is not designed for the backpacker or hostelling operations. GuestCentrix Hostel.Web aims to address all these issues by offering a reliable and cost-effective solution specifically designed for hostels.

The new system which has been in use at Backpackers Inn Byron Bay for the last 10 months impressed the hostel owners for its outstanding depth of functionality and ease of use.

David Gunn, Backpacker industry veteran and General Manager of 180 bed hostel Backpackers Inn, Byron Bay commented “We installed GuestCentrix Hostel.Web in March last year as part of their beta testing and we had some initial concerns with it being a new product. However we have just recorded some of our biggest ever months in December and January where our staff have hammered the system. I have  been very impressed with how GuestCentrix Hostel.Web has performed and we could not imagine operating without it.

GuestCentrix Hostel.Web is being deployed to major hostel groups and individual properties in Europe, USA, Canada and APAC from April 2016 onwards
