How does the digital check-in work?
Hotelbird’s online check-in process is designed to provide your guests with a seamless and hassle-free check-in experience. Once a booking is made, guests receive an email invitation with a direct link to online check-in prior to arrival. By clicking on this link, they will be redirected to a secure platform where they can confirm their personal information and digitally complete all necessary check-in formalities. The process is intuitively designed and takes only a few minutes, making arrival at the hotel faster and less stressful.
Are the guests automatically invited?
Yes, if an e-mail address is stored in the reservation, the guest will be invited automatically.
Is an app required for check-in?
“No, there are other check-in options such as the web browser or a terminal in the hotel lobby. Exclusively with Hotelbird, guests who have booked through Booking.comcan also check in directly there (can be activated/deactivated as desired).”

Wir sind kompatibel mit einer vielzahl von PMS Systemen. Dazu gehören: Sihot, Apaleo, Protel on Premise, Protel Air, Oracle, Oracle Cloud, Suite 8, Guestline und weitere. Eine detaillierte Übersicht finden Sie hier: https://hotelbird.com/produkte/integrationen/
Do I need a tablet at the reception?
A tablet is not mandatory, but a complete digitalization of the check-in process can save the hotel a lot of time and work.

Does the check-in also work with Booking.com bookings?
