HostelsClub.com Launches its new Web 2.0 Version

HostelsClub, a leading international booking site for low-cost accommodation, is happy to announce the launch of its new booking interface on November 27, 2009. It is now even easier than ever before for budget travellers to find their ideal lodging. There was a launch party with over 400 hostelliers from all over the world at the Palace Pisani Moretta in Venice, Italy to celebrate this moment.

The upgraded HostelsClub site is now also faster with the new search functions. The new functionalities begin with a highly advanced interactive map display which gives a birds-eye view of all the properties in that city with flagged points of interest. For example, clients can now select their preferred hostel in Rome based on how close it is to the Colosseum or the Vatican and see the hostel ratings by clicking on the map marker. Other features include a modernized graphic and the ability to choose hostel facilities and the price range from the beginning of the search. The face lift of the site has brought it into the millennium with clear icons and vibrant colors.

Andrea Mehanna, CEO and founder of HostelsClub.com, says, "We have come a long way from the days when we mainly wanted to promote Venice to the rest of the world. Now we aim to provide users with a revolutionary method to choose a property in a matter of seconds." HostelsClub indeed has come a long way from its original launch in 2002. HostelsClub's growing inventory includes over 15,000 properties in over 120 countries.

HostelsClub provides highly secure transactions and technologies to give clients the smoothest and safest booking experience.
