Flexible solutions for a smooth guest journey

Online, via QR code, at the terminal, or with personal assistance – our hardware supports every guest journey. Hotelbird enables a modern, seamless check-in experience that noticeably reduces the workload at reception.

We know that every guest has different preferences – some check in online in advance, others prefer a terminal or personal assistance on-site. Hotelbird covers all options, so you can offer every guest the perfect experience and support each target group appropriately.

Before arrival: Online Check-in

Guests check in via web or app before arrival – a preferred method for tech-savvy guests and business travelers. This is particularly efficient for hotels, as only the key card needs to be created on-site – and with the Wallet Key, not even that.

upon arrival: Self-Service

Whether via QR code or check-in terminal – guests complete the check-in process independently on site. Ideal for those who want flexibility but still prefer to check in at the hotel.

Upon arrival: Personal service

Guests are checked in personally via the reception tablet – ideal for all guests who want or need support and prefer personal interaction.

Your options
for on-site check-in

For guests who have not yet completed the online check-in before arrival, there are various options to finalize it on site – either supported by hardware or by directing them to the online check-in. All modes can be flexibly combined or used individually – whichever best fits your hotel concept.
