HotelTonight now 700% more useful – and still with £15 sign-up credit

I have written before about HotelTonight, an iOS, Android and Windows Phone app which lets you book hotels for the same day only in various cities around the world.

The company is expanding quickly throughout the UK. Cardiff, Newcastle, Bournemouth, Derby, Dover and Aberdeen have recently been added, taking the number of UK cities to 29. Globally the company is operating in over 700 cities.

This week, the company unveiled a major strategic change. You can now book a hotel up to seven nights in advance. You no longer need to book on the day of arrival.

This is a major change and, in my mind, a major improvement. Being able to book a few days in advance gives you added confidence that you will know where you are staying.  Because you can book before you start your trip, it is easier to check out reviews and the location of the HotelTonight options to be sure they are suitable for you.

If you’ve never tried it, they are running a great promotion:

Download HotelTonight onto your iPhone, Android or Windows phone and use promotional code RBURGESS15 on the sign-up screen. You will receive £15 of credit.

£15 credit will not sound a lot if you are booking a hotel in London. However, elsewhere in the UK, it could be equivalent to a 30% discount.

In Birmingham on Tuesday, for example, they had the Copthorne for £54. This would have been £39 after your £15 sign-up bonus. In Liverpool they had the well regarded Hope Street Hotel for £79, which would have come down to £64.

You can download the Hotel Tonight app from your local app store and claim your £15 sign-up credit with code RBURGESS15.
