Funnyplace TVtrip.com, offers detailed hotel search, raises $4.8 million | TVtrip.com, a website providing detailed information about hotels, has raised €3.5 million ($4.8 million) in a first round of financing. The site caters only to European hotels for now. It offers a search engine for hotels; then, for each listing, if offers videos of rooms, ratings, a summary of amenities and maps of surrounding areas. This service is so obviously useful, as we noted when it launched last month. Finding decent hotel rooms can be a painful experience — at least if you’re booking a vacation on a budget. The TVTrip funding comes from Balderton Capital and Partech International. The company covers 10 major European cities including London, Paris, Madrid, Rome and Berlin. The site is available in five languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. To become truly useful, the site does have more room to go.
Funny Videos & Funny Pictures Tvtrip: The Second Video Guide for Hotels Earlier this week we covered Trivop, which billed itself as the first video guide for hotels. Today, Tvtrip, another European startup, is launching their own guide. Counter to Trivop’s straightforward mashup of videos and Google maps, Tvtrip is focusing on “experiencing” the hotel and location overall before you rent. And yes, the names are ridiculously similar an confusing. Tvtrip’s listings include maps, ratings, pricing and videos touring the hotel’s different classes of rooms, amenities, and exterior compiled by their teams of videographers. Tvtrip does have some drawbacks, however. Tvtrip.com was founded by 4 former managers of Expedia Europe: Marc Ruff (former Vice President Europe), Fabien Bourdier (former managing director France), Marc Pfohl (former marketing director France) and Anja Keckeisen (former managing director Germany).
