Built by hoteliers, for hoteliers

We've stood at the front desk at 3am too.

Hotio is built by people who ran hotels before they wrote a line of code. Every screen exists because a real hotelier asked for it.

Why properties switch

Replace the spreadsheet stack without inheriting enterprise bloat.

Front desk, rates, housekeeping and direct bookings in one login. Flat pricing you can explain to your accountant in a sentence.

  • No credit card to start

    Try the workflow before you commit.

  • Cancel anytime

    No lock-in contracts or migration traps.

  • Free migration help

    We help move rooms, rates and core data.

01 / Operations

Built from the front desk out

Real hotel shifts shaped the screens, not a feature matrix.

02 / Pricing

One platform. Clear pricing.

PMS, booking engine and website on a flat per-room price.

03 / Onboarding

Live in an afternoon

Import rooms, set rates and publish your booking page without a training week.

Why properties switch

More bookings. More time for guests.

Modern interface. Fast onboarding. Software that earns its keep on a Friday night, not in a feature matrix.
