Self-service check-in

Give guests a faster way to check in.

Kiotel gives guests a guided self-service experience for common arrival and departure workflows, with live assistance available when the situation requires human support. Reduce front desk lines, improve after-hours access, and give your onsite team more time for higher-value guest interactions.

Faster arrivals

Give guests a guided alternative to waiting at the front desk.

After-hours flexibility

Support configured arrival workflows when onsite staffing is limited.

Live help when needed

Connect guests with assistance when they cannot complete the process independently.

THE ARRIVAL JOURNEY

Support more of the guest journey through self-service.

From locating a reservation to receiving room access, each step runs the way your property has configured it.

Reservation lookup

Allow guests to locate eligible reservations using the information supported by the property's configured workflow.

Guided check-in

Walk guests through the required arrival steps in a clear, consistent sequence.

Supported payments

Enable configured payment and authorization steps through supported payment systems.

Room access

Provide room-key or access instructions based on the property's supported lock technology and operating process.

Check-out

Give eligible guests a convenient way to complete supported departure workflows.

Reservation extensions

Allow guests to request or complete supported stay extensions based on availability and property rules.

Live assistance

Give guests access to a live support path when a question, exception, or technical issue requires additional help. A real person is one tap away at every step.

HOW IT WORKS

From arrival to room access.

Four steps, each of them configurable to the way your property already operates.

The guest starts check-in

WHY HOTELS USE SELF-SERVICE

Automate the routine without removing hospitality.

Self-service check-in should extend the front desk, not create a disconnected guest experience. Kiotel helps hotels:

Reduce congestion during common arrival periods

Support late-night and after-hours arrivals

Standardize required check-in steps

Reduce repetitive front desk administration

Provide guests with more control over their arrival

Give onsite employees more time for complex guest needs

Maintain access to live support for exceptions

COMPATIBILITY

Works with what you already run.

Kiotel connects to supported PMS, payment, and door-lock systems. Compatibility is confirmed during the property review,  before you commit to anything.

Testimonials

What our clients says

"Integrating Kiotel's kiosks into both our mid-scale hotels in town has truly revolutionized our operations. At Quality Inn and Super 8, we've eliminated missed reservation calls entirely. Plus, with our front desks now operating on a completely cashless basis, transactions are smoother and more secure than ever. Huge thanks to Kiotel for these amazing enhancements!"

We now have 24/7 front desk service, our guests now enjoy unparalleled convenience and support, knowing that assistance is available at any hour. What's remarkable is that this enhancement not only elevated our service standards but also led to a noticeable reduction in overhead costs. It was a strategic move that not only improved our operational efficiency but also elevated the overall guest experience."
