When a guest stays in a hotel, they are not only looking for a comfortable room. Above all, they are looking for quick, clear, and easily accessible answers to their questions.
Here is the information guests look for most in a hotel, organized by key moments of the stay, and how to make it easily accessible.

Essential practical information

These are the first questions guests ask, often as soon as they arrive (or even before).

Most searched for:

  • Check-in and check-out times
  • Access to the hotel (address, parking, transportation)
  • Wi-Fi connection (network name, password)
  • Front desk contact information
  • Safety instructions

If this information is not immediately visible, guests have to ask… and the front desk is unnecessarily burdened.

Services included in the stay

Guests want to know what they are entitled to, without having to ask.

Key information:

  • Breakfast (hours, location, included or not)
  • Housekeeping and linen change
  • Access to the spa, gym, or swimming pool
  • Luggage storage
  • 24/7 front desk or opening hours

Available add-on services

More and more travelers are looking for personalized services to enhance their stay.

Highly requested:

  • Late check-out
  • In-room breakfast
  • Airport / train station transfers
  • Parking
  • Partner services (restaurants, activities, excursions)

When well presented, these services improve the experience AND generate additional revenue.

Hotel rules and operations

Guests want to avoid unpleasant surprises.

Expected information:

  • Noise policy
  • Pet policy
  • No-smoking rules
  • Use of facilities
  • Procedures in case of an issue

Local recommendations

This is one of the most consulted sections by travelers.

They look for:

  • Nearby restaurants
  • Bars and cafés
  • Tourist activities
  • Local transportation
  • Useful shops

Guests trust hotel recommendations more than generic online searches. These recommendations can also generate additional revenue.

Information related to departure

At check-out, guests mainly want to leave with peace of mind.

Key information:

  • Departure time
  • Key drop-off
  • Billing
  • Luggage storage after check-out
  • Access to transportation

A smooth departure leaves a positive final impression, which is decisive for guest reviews.

Answers to frequently asked questions, at any time

Even with well-structured information, questions can arise at any hour.

Most frequent:

  • “Until what time is breakfast served?”
  • “How do I access the parking?”
  • “Can I request a late check-out?”
  • “How does the heating work?”

24/7 access to information, combined with an AI chat, ensures that no question goes unanswered and helps avoid irritations.

Why centralizing all this information is essential

When information is:

  • Scattered
  • Not up to date
  • Difficult to access

Guests feel lost, staff are more frequently interrupted, and the overall experience is less smooth.

On the other hand, a digital welcome guide allows you to:

  • Centralize all key information
  • Make it accessible before and during the stay
  • Reduce the workload at the front desk
  • Improve guest satisfaction

In conclusion

Guests are primarily looking for:

Centralizing this information in a digital welcome guide like Sunver, enhanced with add-on services and an AI chat, helps improve the guest experience while optimizing hotel operations.
