Hotel 98 Kuching
Solution Used : Hello Room (Web Booking Engine)
Hotel 98 Kuching, a cozy 2-star hotel located in the heart of Sarawak’s capital, took a smart step toward digital independence by adopting the Hello Room Web Booking Engine.
As a budget-friendly hotel operating in a competitive local market, Hotel 98 needed a way to drive more direct bookings without relying entirely on third-party platforms. With Hello Room, they now offer guests a quick, user-friendly way to book rooms directly through their website — whether on mobile or desktop.
The integration was simple and low-disruption, allowing the hotel to go live quickly and start capturing online reservations on their own terms. It’s a practical, cost-effective move that gives Hotel 98 more control over pricing, availability, and guest engagement — all while reducing commission payouts.
For a small hotel, the impact is real: more direct traffic, better margins, and a stronger connection with every guest.
