Leerhotel Het Klooster

Leerhotel Het Klooster is a one-of-a-kind hotel located in a former monastery in Amersfoort, where hospitality and education go hand in hand. Since 2007, the hotel has functioned as both a learning ground and a fully operational hotel. Each year, over 600 hospitality students gain hands-on experience under the guidance of seasoned professionals. The operations manager, with over 20 years of experience in the industry and 9 years at Leerhotel Het Klooster, describes the work as “a rollercoaster, but a really fun one.” What drives her most is mentoring students and watching them grow through real-world experience.

“RoomPriceGenie was clear and easy to use from the start. The onboarding felt personal and gave us immediate confidence.”

The Challenge

Before RoomPriceGenie, the hotel used a flat-rate pricing strategy—three fixed room prices for high, low, and mid season. That model worked initially, especially when the hotel was only listed on Booking.com. But as their distribution channels expanded (including their own website and Expedia), they began falling behind.

“We were missing out on revenue, and manually updating prices became time-consuming and error-prone.”

The need for a more dynamic, efficient, and accurate pricing strategy became increasingly clear.

The Trigger

At first, the team assumed a revenue management system would be too complex for their unique setup—after all, students run most of the day-to-day operations.

“We thought an RMS would be too complicated for our environment. But the manual work just became too much.”

After comparing a few systems, the choice for RoomPriceGenie was obvious.

“The interface was clear and intuitive. We immediately thought: this is something we can use. The personal onboarding and support made it feel like a perfect fit.”

The Solution

Implementation was smooth and surprisingly fast.

“It felt like there had to be a catch, but the system was live in no time, without any stress.”

RoomPriceGenie is now part of the hotel’s daily workflow. Every morning, students and staff review occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR together. The system has become an essential educational tool.

“It’s visual, easy to use, and ideal for helping students learn about revenue management in a real-world setting.”

Students now actively engage with pricing strategies, learn to analyze data, and understand the business impact of their decisions, all within a safe, supportive environment.

The Result

The impact has been both measurable and meaningful:

- +10% increase in ADR
- Significant time savings—no more manual pricing updates
- Better education—students learn real pricing strategy through a live system
- Flexibility—manual overrides remain possible when needed

“We no longer have to log in constantly to adjust prices. And when there’s a last-minute event or spike in demand, we can easily adapt. It gives us peace of mind.”
