Managing OTA bookings shouldn’t feel like a daily juggle — yet many independent hotels still deal with rate mismatches, double bookings, and slow updates across channels. With 60% of all hotel bookings now happening online, choosing the right channel manager matters more than ever.

eZee Centrix is a popular choice, but many hotels today are exploring alternatives that offer faster sync, deeper integrations, and better automation. Tools like AxisRooms, SiteMinder, Cloudbeds, and STAAH are often compared by hoteliers looking for smarter distribution control.

Channel management in 2026 looks very different from just a few years ago. Hotels are managing more OTAs, tighter rate parity, faster booking cycles, and rising expectations for real-time accuracy. As a result, many properties using RoomCloud are reassessing whether their current setup still supports today’s pace of distribution.

With the global hotel channel manager market projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.5%reaching USD 3.2 billion by 2033, hotels are increasingly investing in future-ready systems that are easier to use, quicker to integrate, and better aligned with modern workflows.

In this article, we look at the best RoomCloud alternatives for 2026 — and how hotels can choose a channel manager that simplifies distribution instead of complicating it.

For hotel owners and managers, choosing the right PMS software for small hotels is critical to ensuring smooth operations, enhancing guest experiences, and maximizing revenue. RoomMaster has been a popular choice for many years, but with the evolution of technology, many properties are now looking for cloud-based PMS solutions that integrate seamlessly with other tools and automate key processes. In this blog, we’ll explore the best RoomMaster PMS alternatives that provide real-time channel management, guest engagement tools, and enhanced operational efficiency for hotels of all sizes.

Running a hotel today means juggling everything from guest expectations to OTA visibility — and your PMS plays a huge part in keeping operations smooth. Oracle OPERA is powerful, no doubt, but many small and mid-sized hotels find it too complex, expensive, or IT-heavy for their day-to-day reality. That’s why more properties are exploring flexible, cloud-based options that are simpler to onboard and easier for teams to adopt.

With the global PMS market projected to hit USD 12.26 billion by 2033, hotels everywhere are moving toward systems that offer mobility, automation, and real-time OTA sync without the enterprise overhead. 

In this guide, we’ll break down the best Oracle OPERA PMS alternatives, share how we evaluated them, and help you choose a cloud PMS that genuinely fits your hotel’s size, speed, and workflow.
