Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Kraków. Kraków has a lot of Old Town supply and strong weekend demand from UK and European visitors, including groups. Day trips to Auschwitz and Wieliczka keep visitors coming all year. Per-bedroom positioning and weekend rules matter most. Many visitors combine the city with day trips, so they value a central base and easy early departures. Location near transport to those trips is worth reflecting in the price.
For Kraków owners I compare the flat against similar Old Town or Kazimierz listings by bedroom count, then check how weekends, groups and events are priced. The plan usually tightens group rules, strengthens weekend pricing and protects winter floors in a market with a lot of supply.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Kraków.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

I keep the floor stable, add weekly rates and lean on weekend city-breakers from the UK, since cutting weekday rates too far rarely brings many extra bookings.
Easter and the May long weekend give me strong dates, so I price them individually and allow two-night stays on ordinary spring weekends.
The Jewish Culture Festival in Kazimierz and summer tourism push demand up; I price weekends and festival dates firmly and keep group rules clear.
Conferences at ICE Kraków and the student year bring weekday demand, so I hold weekday rates and keep weekend premiums for city-breakers.
The Christmas market on the Main Square lifts December weekends, so I price them above November and keep New Year's Eve as a separate premium.
Price weekends above weekdays with 2-night minimums.
Set group rules and pricing for larger flats.
Price Christmas markets and May long weekends as premiums.
Position flats by bedroom count against Old Town comps.
Hold winter floors.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

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!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How the listing compares with flats of the same bedroom count in the Old Town or Kazimierz, since guests in Kraków filter by bedrooms and location before price.
Busiest in Kraków: April to October and the Christmas markets, with Easter and long weekends in May. June to August: The Jewish Culture Festival in Kazimierz and summer tourism push demand up; I price weekends and festival dates firmly and keep group rules clear. September to October: Conferences at ICE Kraków and the student year bring weekday demand, so I hold weekday rates and keep weekend premiums for city-breakers. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Weekend and group premiums, winter floors, and per-bedroom positioning in a high-supply Old Town. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Kraków calendar before I make it. September to October: Conferences at ICE Kraków and the student year bring weekday demand, so I hold weekday rates and keep weekend premiums for city-breakers.
Location near transport to those trips is worth reflecting in the price. Kraków has a lot of Old Town supply and strong weekend demand from UK and European visitors, including groups. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Kraków.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Kraków the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: set group rules and pricing for larger flats. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Kraków sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. June to August: The Jewish Culture Festival in Kazimierz and summer tourism push demand up; I price weekends and festival dates firmly and keep group rules clear. For hotel revenue management consulting in Kraków, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in Kraków, not the city. Price Christmas markets and May long weekends as premiums. Next: hold winter floors.
Podgórze: Across the river, near Schindler's Factory and quieter streets; I price it as value with good access to Kazimierz and the Old Town. Old Town (Stare Miasto) and Kazimierz get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Kraków, not the market average.
