Roy Knijf - owner Bed & Breakfast De Prince Nijmegen:
Owner Roy Knijf is particularly enthusiastic about LodgeGate as guests can check out during the day at Bagels & Beans. "As a Bed & Breakfast, De Prince does not have a manned reception. Guests enjoy their breakfast at Bagels & Beans and can also check in and out. With LodgeGate it is possible to print the invoices prior to check out date. And for me it is very convenient that it is a web-based system, allowing me to have 24/7 access", says Roy Knijf.
Bed & Breakfast De Prince Nijmegen: 19 rooms, sauna, steam room, whirlpool and sun bed and Bagels & Beans.

Leida van der Sluis & Leen Popering - owners H2otel Rotterdam:
Without any hotel experience but very enthousiastic, owners Leida van der Sluis en Leen van Popering started this 'floating' hotel. "We had no office nor internet yet, but we did already have our own hotel website with the bookings engine RezXS of Hotels Online. Which produced already several reservations for our hotel. These online reservations are processed directly into our hotel database by the Property Management System LodgeGate", says Leida.
"Although we did not have any hotel experience at all, working with LodgeGate is no problem at all. The system is very user friendly and logically organized and the personal explanation provided during the training was very pleasant. We are still amazed at the many applications this PMS offers us", says Leen.
"What is also very positive about LodgeGate, is the fact that no investment is needed. Broadband internet is all that is required. The advantage for us is that we have full access to our system at any time, anywhere. If we are on holidays or enjoy a break of a few days, we can use the system to check something or to solve a problem in case the team is unable to. So our presence in the hotel is not required to enter the system and there is no need to rush to the hotel in case something may be wrong. What we are also very happy with, is the connectivity with various booking channels, because it provides additional revenue for H2otel".
H2otel Rotterdam: floating hotel with 49 rooms, a bar / brasserie with terrace on the water and a lounge.

Mario Wilkes - Banquet Sales Manager Hotel Bitter en Zoet Veenhuizen:
Hotel Bitter en Zoet is a perfect venue for training, courses, seminars, etc. Mario Wilkes, Banquet Sales Manager: "This is the reason why it is for us essential that our hotel PMS (Property Management System) can be linked to a cash register so that for example the room hire and refreshments will automatically be booked to the right bill".
"Also important was, that our reception is not open 24 hours a day though we do like our rooms to be optimally sold. This makes it quite a challenge to update the various booking channels. LodgeGate proved to be ‘the answer’. Higher occupancy without having to increase on members of staff, No Cure No Pay because the monthly invoice is based on occupancy of hotel rooms, no investment because it is a web-based system and Hotels Online is always very flexible when it comes to for example wishes related to modules", says Mario Wilkes of Hotel Bitter en Zoet.
Hotel Bitter en Zoet: 15 rooms, restaurant, bakery, 3 meeting rooms and sauna facilities.

Monique Sekeris - Manager The Bridge Hotel Amsterdam:
Monique Sekeris, manager of The Bridge Hotel in Amsterdam, was very content with the manual processing of all her reservations on sheets of paper on the wall. But when they wanted to work with more booking channels to achieve optimum occupancy of rooms, a different way of operation was required within the hotel.
Hotels Online advised her to work with LodgeGate whereby various booking channels are connected to this system and online reservations are processed directly into the database of the hotel. "This resulted immediately in an increase in number of reservations and therefore in occupancy and turnover", says an enthusiastic Monique. "Not to mention a savings in cost and time. I am also very pleased with the guest management module, by registering the guest profiles we can the preferences of our guests from previous visits see at a glance!"
The Bridge Hotel Amsterdam: 46 en-suite rooms, two apartments, lounge and meeting room.

"LodgeGate offers Hotel Arcen even more: connectivity with various booking channels and the easy delivery of information with regard to administration. With the various reports LodgeGate includes, it is made very easy to analyze", Mark explains.
"The availability of Hotel Arcen appears in the most optimal way, without resulting in unwanted over bookings. For me it was decisive that no investment or ownership costs are applicable for using LodgeGate, the only thing I need is a broadband internet connection", says Mark van Benthum of Hotel Arcen.

Norman Heemskerk - Owner Hotel Heemskerk, Amsterdam:
"Great, no need for me anymore to bring the agenda with me 24 hours a day!"
"As owner of a small hotel (9 rooms), I always thought that a PMS with links to various websites would be out of reach for me. Let alone that the profitability would increase, and stress on me and my staff would decrease".
"LodgeGate proved me wrong: due to the unique pricing structure investments are unnecessary. This PMS has shown that also small hotels can be provided with a hotel reservations system with great advantages".
"The occupation of my hotel, prices and margins are increased, whilst the pressure is decreased. The knowledge that over bookings are inconceivable, makes me feel very much at ease as self-employed entrepreneur".
Hotel Heemskerk, Amsterdam: 9 rooms.

Henk de Lugt - Owner Hotel Zandbergen Amsterdam:
"Great, no longer need to bring my agenda with me 24 hours a day! I was also looking for an increase in revenue from the number of available rooms per day. And I wanted the system quickly and at low costs. LodgeGate provided me with these, without any problems".
"Most of the reservations are made by the guests themselves, which saves a lot of work! All reservations are guaranteed by credit card, which guarantees that guests will arrive at all times and in the case of No Show the cardholder can be charged. Available rooms are shown on the screen. In other words, it prevents over bookings which cost a lot of time, aggravation and money. On a daily base, I can decide which hotel rooms are book able by (expensive) reservation systems. Full availability of hotel rooms is online and can be booked by ‘the world'. Since I work with LodgeGate, my monthly revenue increased by an average of 10%!"
"Within two months of the first contact I had with the team of LodgeGate, the system was installed. In short: are you also the smart entrepreneur who wishes to increase revenue and improve on efficiency and professionalism, contact LodgeGate! You will not be disappointed!"
Hotel Zandbergen Amsterdam: 18 hotel rooms, penthouse, breakfast room.
