This is a newly opened hostel located on Hilton Street, Manchester. Nearest trains stops to the hotel are Piccadilly Station, Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Victoria and Salford Central and the closest airport is The Manchester Airport with only 15 minutes journey by train.
Many interesting tourist attractions and business places are easy to reach from The Hilton Chambers Hostel with Places like Nothern Quarter, Printworks, Piccadilly Gardens and Urbis among them. The Chinese Art Centre, The Richard Goodall Gallery, The Imperial War Museum, Museum of the Greater Manchester and the Rochdale Pioneers Museum are literally within the walking distance which make a suitable staying place for art lovers. Not much park and green area can be found around but The Piccadilly Garden perhaps compensates that shortage. Lots of restaurant and cafe’s are around the Hostel such as The Night and Day Cafe, The Odd Bar, The Soup Kitchen, The Simple and many more.
The Hilton Chambers has 32 Rooms that classifies it as not so big a hostel. It is a 3-star hostel with rates about £45 which is pretty good price considering the location.
Rooms have TVs and a 24-hour reception at the hotel at the guests’ service. The Hilton Chamber has been recommended for being close to Manchester Eye and Piccadilly train Station. Many also described it as a hostel that is much better than an equivalent hotel. The customer service, clean rooms and quality of food and above all the value received for money has been given thumbs up by many guests.

Question by Starry9281: How does the Hilton hotel reservations “Work at Home” call center job work? I used to work at a Hilton reservations call center a long time ago and I remember it being a decent job so I decided to look into working for them again. The closest call center is a little over an hour away (not including traffic)! Then I read on their website that they have work at home jobs for their Dallas and Tampa locations. This would be perfect for me HOWEVER it says you have to live in a particular area code to apply. Like I said before, I do live in the general area of one of these call centers and I do know people who live in that area code.
My question is why does the area code matter? Do they want to make sure you live close enough for training? Do you need a working landline with that area code in order to receive the phone calls? Would I be able to give them my friend’s address and phone number to apply and get the job and then work out the details later? Anyone who has done this or has knowledge of this, please let me know how it works!!
Best answer:
Answer by Kool-guy Each call center company will have different restrictions as to location, some don’t have any at all. There are many companies out there so don’t limit yourself to this one if you don’t meet their requirements. If you go to http://workathomedesk.com/directory/virtual-call-centre-jobs.htm you find a good comprehensive list of legitimate virtual call center companies. I would suggest you apply to several at one time. I would also reccommend West At Home. I would with them previously and they are an excellent company to work for. Your friends would probably just need to apply to that hilton job on there own.

But my views and opinions are specifically from a hoteliers perspective. What’s interesting to me is that many people don’t know some of the key changes and challenges, frankly that have happened over the course of the past couple of years in the hotel industry, and how the “big shots” of on-line travel have manipulated the landscape.
For example, did you know that most of the time (Its upwards of 95%) the franchise or brand website (i.e., Hilton, Marriott, Choice, Holiday Inn, etc) is cheaper or exactly the same price as booking through Hotels.com, Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity, or even at times Hotwire? Also did you ever notice that line in your hotel reservation, called Taxes & Fees? The “Fees” part is how the “big shots” also make their money (I’ll share more on how they make more of their money later in this article).
Or how about when you try to cancel or change a hotel reservation because you had a change in plans that were unforeseen and you had to pay! How ridiculous is that? Or the best part, which I love the most, is that they actually charge you for your hotel stay at the time of reservation! I don’t know about you, but I would rather have my credit card charged to me when I actually go to the hotel and complete my stay (normal hotel practice, but yes they may ask for a credit card to simply hold the room but they don’t charge unless you don’t show up). And for those of you really familiar with the hotel industry, yes, “Advance Purchase Rates or Buy Now and Save 15%” offered by the franchise or brand website also charge your credit card and have certain restrictions (like non-refundable, etc), ONLY if you book that type of reservation. Otherwise you have the ability to select a different type of reservation which gives you the flexibility that you may desire/need.
Also are you one of the millions of people in the US who belong to one or more of those nationally recognized clubs/organizations like seniors, government employees, veteran/military personnel, or the auto club? Ever notice that you CANNOT use that club/organization membership benefit of discounted lodging with the “big shots”. Finally, the one last thing that really annoys me when I see it happen, is when the “big shots” promise you a room or room type that we, the hotel clearly don’t have available for your dates of stay! That not only hurts our reputation, but more importantly it negatively impacts your guest experience. Who wants to sit at the front desk during check-in after a long flight, or with the kids screaming, etc?
The other part that I have to mention given my background, which may not mean much to you, but I think it’s worth letting you knowing about it. If you book a room through one of those “big shots” the hotel is only getting a portion of your reservation money. Meaning, the “big shots” charge hotels a premium for bringing that reservation to them, to the tune of 15% – 40% the original reservation. So what does that mean? If a reservation you make on one of those “big shot” websites is $100 for one night, the hotel is only getting anywhere between $85 to as little as $60. That’s a pretty big cut for the “big shots”. So what’s the big deal, right? Well if you look at it the less money the hotel gets for your patronage, the less there is to go around for let’s say renovations, more of those little goodies available in your hotel room, nicer, bigger TV’s, etc. As hoteliers, we do not hold properties for a short period of time, we hold onto them and are proud of them (or at least want to be). We enjoy and want to provide a great guest service experience to you, our guest. But as economic conditions worsen and more people book with the “big shots”, we stand less of chance to do so, and that my friends impacts all of us, and especially your guest experience.
Now I will admit, you can get some good prices with the “big shots” if you are able to be extremely “flexible”. For example, paying for a hotel room first without knowing where exactly the hotel is and or what area it’s in? Any guesses as to which “big shot” operates that way? If you guessed Hotwire, you got it. I don’t know about you, but I like to see what I am paying for, before I actually pay for it. And the best part is if you are an individual who is typically organized and plans ahead for your upcoming trip, ever notice that you have to pay when you make your reservation? That’s another one that still baffles me. Why should some other individual/company have the right to charge me that money that far in advance? I should only pay when the services are provided or closer to my stay.
The moral of the story is that I strongly recommend that you either check the brand/hotel website before making a reservation to ensure that you are getting the best price available and available amenities. Or call the hotel directly and ask to speak to the front desk. Sometimes you can negotiate with them even further. For a couple of extra minutes that may put more money in your pocket, it’s worth the time.
I have said my peace, and hope that you found this not only educational, but also worth a few minutes of your time to read. Maybe I will see you around in a hotel and hope that you have took into consideration some of my points. Either way, I wish you well and safe travels.

EcoGreenHotel.com announces M. Scott Parisi as President. The mission of EcoGreenHotel.com is to help reduce the environmental footprint of the hotel industry by Supporting Hospitality Sustainability. EcoGreenHotel.com was launched early in 2008 and is planning for considerable growth in 2009. The planned growth will be with vendor partners that target the hospitality industry, sustainable hotel partners and a consulting arm that will be working with both new build and existing properties.
Parisi is a veteran hospitality professional with over fifteen years experience with major hotel chains, such as Intercontinental, Starwood, Hilton and Choice Hotels. Most recently, Parisi served as Vice President of Operations at New Generation Hospitality, helping to not only grow the company, but was part of the original formation in 2006. Upon his departure, he left New Generation Hospitality with 10 hotels and new properties in the pipeline. Parisi is familiar working with growing organizations stemming back to Growth Properties Hospitality Management where when he joined the company they managed five properties and with focus on growth of third party management contracts was able to help them expand to twenty two properties. Parisi was also with GF Management for nine years in which the company grew from a small seven property management company to a top performing management company and real estate developer with over fifty properties.
Parisi is proud to have been the General Manager of the United States first L.E.E.D. certified and “Environmentally Friendly” Hotel; the Sheraton Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia PA.
It is the commitment of EcoGreenHotel to bring environmentally friendly solutions to hoteliers. One obstacle in providing these solutions is the misconception of cost. Parisi states, “Hotel owners and operators need to understand that operating a sustainable operation is no longer a more expensive way of doing business. In fact, implementing sustainable practices can significantly reduce water, electric, waste and gas bills, saving sometimes up to 10% in direct expenses.” Tax incentives are also available for those who make sustainable changes.
Parisi is dedicated to not only developing EcoGreenHotel.com, but to bring affordable, attainable and beneficial environmentally-conscience practices to hotel owners and operators. Parisi will head up all consulting done by EcoGreenHotel.
EcoGreenHotel will provide ‘Green’ Consulting Services to include:
