What It Is

Hotelsoftware24 / Pension-Software24 is hotel management software developed by Germany’s Ingenieurbüro Huonker. It targets pensions, small hotels, and holiday apartments, and is designed for family-run accommodation businesses with up to 60 rooms. The official website emphasizes that it is fully cloud-based software: no installation is required, and it can be used on a computer, tablet, or phone as long as there is an internet connection.

Core Features

Based on the collected content, the system covers the main workflows of a small-hotel PMS. Users can enter and adjust bookings in a graphical occupancy calendar, send confirmation emails for reservations made by email or phone, handle Check-in / Check-out, and generate checkout invoices with one click. On the operations side, it includes guest management, breakfast / arrival / departure / cleaning lists, room-cleaning time calculations, a cash book, statistics such as occupancy and revenue, and seasonal price management. The professional version also provides online booking for the official website, an availability search box, and a Channel Manager that can connect to platforms such as HRS, Booking, and Expedia.

Pricing and Deployment

The product is available as an entry-level system and a professional system. The entry-level system is hosted at georg365.de, and the official site says it can be used free of charge and without restrictions. The professional system is hosted at pension-software24.de and offers a free 4-week trial, with the possibility of extending the trial period if needed. However, the page does not disclose the official pricing, billing model, or payment methods. In terms of deployment, it is purely cloud-based and does not provide information about local installation. Data is backed up daily in the cloud, and booking data can be downloaded as Excel-compatible tables.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are clear positioning and a workflow designed around the daily operations of small accommodation providers, which should keep the learning curve and rollout barrier relatively low. The free version and extended trial reduce procurement risk. The professional version’s website booking and channel management features are valuable for small hotels looking to expand online customer acquisition. The main drawback is limited transparency: there is no clear information about role permissions, team collaboration, APIs, encryption, GDPR compliance details, or security certifications. Pricing for the professional version is also not publicly disclosed. The system is further limited to a maximum of 60 rooms, making it unsuitable for large hotels or hotel chains.

Best Fit and Access from China

It is best suited to small hotels, B&Bs, and family-run guesthouses in German-speaking markets that want to replace spreadsheets and manual management with a low-cost cloud system. Chinese users should pay attention to language support, local tax requirements, payments, invoicing, and the compatibility of channels such as Booking in China. The current information is not sufficient to determine whether it can be accessed reliably from mainland China without connectivity issues. Comparable products include Cloudbeds, Little Hotelier, SiteMinder, and Mews; for domestic China use cases, alternatives such as 订单来了 and 别样红 may also be worth considering.
