STAAH is a great all in one solution for Channel management

STAAH Channel manager solves our multiple reservation channels management problem in an end-to-end fashion. Everything is quite good so far, our overall experience is near to perfect except some minor issues.

Pros

STAAH is useful for management of our multiple online rezervation channels from one single management panel. We can update the availability, the photos and all the information related with the rooms from STAAH panel and it reflects all updates to the all rezervation channels that are integrated. STAAH is a multi language management platform so that our staff can use it in their own language, which is a great advantage for operations.

Cons

That would be very useful when a new update is live we are informed about the new features of the update with a brief email since we are informing the realted staff with the new features. It is sometimes hard to recognise the changes and we only update our staff when they report us only when they do not understand a feature which means at least one mista is guaranteed.

Alternatives Considered

Hostaway and Guesty

Reasons for Choosing STAAH Channel Manager

STAAH was much more extensive in terms of number of sales channels it is integrated and from our tests our staff preferred STAAH that's why we swithed.

Selling and Onboarding techniques borrowed from the Wild West

I recommend to stay away, there are plenty of 21 century options out there that provide more control and transparency in their dealings.

Pros

Can't comment. Aborted the Onboarding since key functionality suddenly was out of scope despite previously having been articulated to be included.

Cons

Sign up to the Channel Manager is conducted filling in .Doc forms and shipping them by email. Very secure when you share business critical user names and passwords for your various OTAs.

The Business Development Manager also likes to missell, not only in direct communication but also misleading their PMS partner.

Alternatives Considered

Cloudbeds, Beds24, SiteMinder and Lodgify

Reasons for Choosing STAAH Channel Manager

On the false promise that STAAH would provide access to Google Hotel Ads in the Channel Management portfolio.

Reasons for Switching to STAAH Channel Manager

In fact my PMS/Booking Engine pursued an exclusive Channel Manager partnership with STAAH, so in order not having to swap out the entire backend this was the only option.

Response from STAAH

Dear Olaf,

Excellent Channel Manager & Great deal for Hotel Online Solutions

All about I would like to say that I like the Staah Channel Manager very much. It is very user friendly and very excellent for using the channel. As a new property they support me a lot to develop the revenue as a will as develop the OTA management.

Pros

This is my third channel manager which was work in my last organization. The featuring of this channel manager are most attractive and smoothly user use. The Features are channel analytics, inventory control, partner management, product and OTA management are makes your works easier. I believe that if you use this channel to manage the hotel right direction. Also I would like to maintain that STAAH Channel Manager will give you right idea about the Revenue Management.

Cons

When I was setup the STAAH Channel Manager in my previous work place. During the setup in for my property Channel was build by virtual skype meeting. Is was bit difficult to describe all the information though online. I think they should setup a person in Bangladesh.

STAAH Channel Manager Review

STAAH is very user friendly and we didn't have much difficulty training the Team to use it. Room and rate distribution is much more efficient vs handling online distribution channels individually via partners' extranets.

Pros

The ease of use and real-time update of pricing and room allocations are a plus. Haven't had the chance to try it for a longer period of time, but was quite satisfied during the trial phase.

Cons

During the time that we tried the software, two-way integration with our current PMS was not yet available.

Alternatives Considered

SiteMinder

Reasons for Switching to STAAH Channel Manager

We are currently using another provider. We only got the chance to use STAAH on a trial phase.

Dynamic Pricing.
GDS.
1 Stop solution.
Data upload: Easy and Fast.
OTA Integration

Pros

The best feature is the option to upload Daily pricing.
We were struggling with our existing Channel Manager and this came to us as real time problem solver. Dynamic pricing made work easy and reduced manually work substantially.
We had used it for some time however had to change the plan to continue for Internal reasons.

Cons

Easy and clear unavailability of logs for any changes made.
Takes time to Bulk upload.
Nothing much apart from this as the software is fast and user friendly and can be handled by even a level 1 employee.

Response from STAAH

Thanks for your feedback. Great to hear your feedback on the ease of use and performance of the STAAH channel manager. Will pass on your inputs about logs and bulk updates to the technical team.
