Indoor self-service kiosks

How can indoor self-service kiosk help hotel guests?

Arriving and departing hotel guests can use the kiosk to:

  • Check in to their room and pick up the room key in a few simple steps. This includes completion of registration card, passport scanning, adding products and credit card payment.
  • Check-out and leave the hotel. This includes reviewing any expenses, update of billing address and credit card payment.
  • Walk-in when arriving without a hotel reservation. This includes selecting an available room and completing the same steps as for regular check-in. 
  • In-house (already checked-in guests) can use the kiosk to create an additional or replacement key.
  • Pick-up room keys
  • in less than 20 seconds by scanning a QR code if pre-check-in was done online before arrival.
