Hotel comparison that no hotel can hide from

Tue 1st Dec, 2015

We've always shown a keen interest in Travel technology, so when we came across Triporia, a London startup that focuses on cutting to the details that matter when finding a hotel, we really loved (and chuckled) at their unique Street View feature, particularly when comparing the results to some of Munich's best hotels (or 'best photographed' hotels should we say!).

The problem with most hotels' advertising and marketing material, is that you only get to see the photos they want you to see.  Welcome to the new alternative, where the user gets to compare the gloss of marketing material with the reality of Street View. No more shocks, when one turns up at their fantastic looking hotel to find it conveniently situated atop a nightclub.
