Little Hotelier is SiteMinder's system for small properties. This article covers what it does, who it suits — and what to compare if you want a system whose every number can be verified before you pay.
Little Hotelier markets directly to small properties — guesthouses, B&Bs, small resorts. That is exactly the segment Prime Host serves, so this is a comparison on the same playing field, using criteria you can check yourself on every line.
Little Hotelier is the small-property product from SiteMinder, the large Australian channel-manager company. It bundles a booking calendar, OTA connections and direct-booking tools into one package, and benefits from a parent brand with a long market history.
Small properties have little time and no margin for error — every unit of currency matters. So the question to ask every vendor is not “do you have all the features?” — everyone says yes. It is this set:

Little Hotelier is a reasonable choice if you want to stay with a global brand.

Open the demo and compare before deciding. It costs nothing.
