EnglishCloud Based Hotel Software
Breeze through property management with Little Hotelier’s cloud based hotel software.
The world’s most trusted small hotel software
What is cloud hotel software?
Having hotel software that is managed on the cloud means your data/storage, analytics, and networking will all be on the internet rather than stored locally on your computer.
What this means is, all of your guest, booking, and analytics data plus more will be stored elsewhere but in a secure environment.
This reduces the risk of losing your pen and paper, your computer getting hacked, or even simple things like spilling water on your laptop and damaging your hard drive (where your guest, booking, and analytics data may be stored).
Features to look for in cloud based hotel management software
Does it manage bookings and reservations online?
One of the key benefits of your software being on the cloud is your bookings and reservations are online and can be logged into from any computer providing you have login details.
Does it have a front desk solution?
Does it allow you to manage your guest communications, rooms and rates, room allocation, and your housekeeping? These are all key features in running your property smoothly.
Does it connect to top booking channels?
Having your property on top booking channels such as Booking.com, Expedia, and AirBnB will help you acquire more guests and increase the visibility of your property.
Does it have a booking engine?
Having a booking engine will allow you to take direct bookings on your website or from your social media profiles such as Facebook.
Does it process payments?
This is more important than ever with the ever increasing number of online bookings. A payment solution will help you manage all your payments in one place which is very helpful for cash flow and security.
Does it have a mobile app?
Whilst not critical, being able to view bookings, guest data, and make edits on the move can help you respond quickly and get time back in your day.
There are many more features you will want to consider, but the above will help you explore the many features available to help grow your small accommodation business.

Frequently asked questions about cloud software for hotels
How does hotel software work on the cloud?
The hotel cloud software works by sending data back and forth between a server meaning it can update in real-time. This allows for the system to check for overbookings, incorrect information, and ensure payments are secure and encrypted. It also means your data will always be backed up and saved. The data sharing also occurs between different cloud systems. For example your front desk system and your channel manager can be seamlessly integrated on the cloud.
What is the best cloud based hotel software?
The best cloud based hotel software comes from a provider that supports all the requirements of your property. It’s important that the software is designed for small accommodations in particular, so you aren’t using something that is too complicated or paying for additional features that you don’t need. For example, Little Hotelier offers you cloud software that streamlines all your daily operations and allows you to manage your property remotely with a mobile app. Try it for free today.
