Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Bucharest, Romania, one to one, remotely and in Eastern European Time (UTC+2). In Bucharest, I price June to August as the peak and January to February as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Bucharest: Business and tech-sector travel; Festivals and concerts; Old Town nightlife; Transylvania road trips. Guests I price for: Business travellers midweek and European city-breakers at weekends. Where I start: Corporate midweek rates, weekend premiums, and winter floors.
With a background in five-star hotel revenue, I help Bucharest hotels manage negotiated corporate rates, conference blocks around Romexpo and the Palace of the Parliament, and the weekend leisure gap, choosing a comp set by district and traveller type rather than by stars.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Bucharest.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“Bucharest is a business city with growing tourism. Tech and corporate travel fill weekdays, concerts and festivals fill some weekends, and many visitors continue to Transylvania. I price business weekdays and event weekends separately. Visitors heading to Transylvania often spend a night or two in the city first, and business guests fill weekdays. Pricing those two groups separately gets more out of both.”

Cold weather and few events make this the quiet stretch. I set winter floors around corporate weekday demand and offer project-length stays rather than chasing weekend tourists who are not coming.
Business travel returns and spring city breaks start. I lift Tuesday to Thursday rates first and watch Orthodox Easter, which shifts each year and fills local leisure weekends.
Stadium concerts at the Arena Nationala and summer festivals create sharp single-date spikes. I load those dates the moment they are announced and keep two-night minimums on concert weekends.
Conference season and trade fairs at Romexpo keep weekdays busy. I price Monday to Thursday firmly and use small weekend offers to catch travellers heading on to Transylvania.
The Christmas market at Piata Constitutiei and New Year's Eve lift leisure demand while business travel stops. I price the festive weekends up and let the quiet weekdays run cheaper.

Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

Busiest in Bucharest: May to September, UNTOLD Bucharest and business-travel weeks. June to August: Stadium concerts at the Arena Nationala and summer festivals create sharp single-date spikes. I load those dates the moment they are announced and keep two-night minimums on concert weekends. September to November: Conference season and trade fairs at Romexpo keep weekdays busy. I price Monday to Thursday firmly and use small weekend offers to catch travellers heading on to Transylvania. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. Whether invoices can be issued to companies, since many business travellers need a proper fiscal document and quietly book elsewhere when the host cannot provide one.
Offer monthly rates for project work. Next: lower January and February floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Bucharest property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Bucharest: January to February. January to February: Cold weather and few events make this the quiet stretch. I set winter floors around corporate weekday demand and offer project-length stays rather than chasing weekend tourists who are not coming. March to May: Business travel returns and spring city breaks start. I lift Tuesday to Thursday rates first and watch Orthodox Easter, which shifts each year and fills local leisure weekends.
Events ignored and no monthly option. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Bucharest, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Bucharest, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Bucharest sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. March to May: Business travel returns and spring city breaks start. I lift Tuesday to Thursday rates first and watch Orthodox Easter, which shifts each year and fills local leisure weekends.
Lipscani and the Old Town: Nightlife and walkability make this a weekend leisure product. I price Friday and Saturday highest and accept that weekday business guests usually prefer quieter streets. Floreasca and Pipera and Dorobanti and Primaverii get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
