easyHotel re-launches website

easyHotel.com, the super budget hotel operator, is looking to substantially increase its market share with the re-launch of its website at easyHotel.com.

Coupled with a simplified 3 step booking process, customers will find the whole process has been designed to be much quicker and far more intuitive.

Improvements have also been made to the presentation of product information, with more images, more detailed hotel information and expanded local services and attractions content as well as Google maps to help with travel plans
