About Me (Barbara Weibel)

Barbara Weibel After years of working 70 hours a week at jobs I detested, I felt like the proverbial "hole in the donut" - solid on the outside, but empty on the inside. Searching for meaning in my life, I abandoned my successful but unsatisfying career and set out on a six-month solo backpacking trip around the world to pursue my true passions of travel, writing, and photography. My blog features stories about the destinations I visit, people I meet, the crazy things...Read more here....


A while back I wrote about HotelPal, the great iPhone app that lets you find last minute accommodations based on your current location and budget. Now a similar iPhone app, Superbreak, is available for Europe.

The application allows users to search for a hotel by date, location, or specific hotel name, and searches can also be conducted using geo-code technology, allowing customers to find hotels near their current location. All 7,000 of Superbreak’s UK and European hotels can be booked through the app and it can handle the whole booking process from start to finish.

Property Information

Although I have not personally tested the app (I haven’t been in Europe recently), the screen shots of the app are so similar to those in HotelPal that I have little doubt it functions in quite the same manner, although search results will certainly be dependent upon the properties that have agreed to participate. To satisfy myself that the company has an adequate number of participating hotels, I went to their website, Superbreak.com, and searched for accommodations in central London for tomorrow night. It quickly returned 81 hotels, priced from lowest to highest, with the lowest being 35 Pounds ($56 U.S.).

The Superbreak iPhone application can be downloaded for free at the iTunes store.

    Donna: As far as I know, it’s only an iPhone app, and the info was sent to me by the developer, so I suspect they would have disclosed if it worked with anything else. But I really believe that smart phones will continue to dominate and app developers will pretty quickly adapt for other cell phones.
