A day use hotel lets you book a room during the day without staying the night. You enjoy the comfort of a hotel over a set time slot, often 9am to 6pm, then check out in the evening. A simple idea, popular worldwide and increasingly used in the UK.
How does day use work?
Each hotel opens a daytime slot at a reduced rate. You choose your date, arrival time and how long you need, then book online. The room is ready when you arrive, with the same service as an overnight stay: bed, bathroom, wifi and, depending on the hotel, access to the spa, pool or gym.
What is a day room for?
- Working in peace, like a second office, between meetings.
- Resting before or after a flight, a train or a long drive.
- Enjoying some downtime for two, spa or pool included.
- Having a private, discreet space in the city centre or near stations and airports.
How much does a day use hotel cost?
Because you only pay for the hours you use, day use is usually discounted by up to 70% compared with a night. The price depends on the hotel, the city and how long you stay. Often the easiest way to enjoy a 4-star hotel on a modest budget.
