The Smart Way to Travel: Unmanned Hotels Offer Privacy and Comfort

COCOSHUKU Akasaka Premium is located just a 2-minute walk from Akasaka Station.

What is an unmanned hotel?

An unmanned hotel is a hotel that has no staff on-site.

In a traditional hotel, there is staff at the front desk and entrance to check-in and hand over keys, but as the name suggests, unmanned hotels are basically unmanned, so guests must check in and complete other procedures themselves.

These types of hotels allow people to avoid contact with others, and have been gaining attention since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Features of unmanned hotels

Unmanned hotels often use IT technologies to enable guests to check in and out themselves, such as "smart check-in systems," "smart keys," and "smart locks."

The "Smart Check-in System" is a system that allows guests to check in and out themselves using dedicated devices such as smartphones or tablets installed at the front desk.

A "smart key" or "smart lock" is a system that allows you to lock and unlock doors using a smartphone, IC card, or PIN number, without having to carry a traditional physical key.

The pros and cons of unmanned hotels

■ Advantages

Since there is basically no human interaction, there is no need to wait in long lines at the front desk, which is an advantage as it allows for more efficient check-in and check-out.

Contact with others is kept to a minimum, reducing the risk of infection.

In addition, you can check in at any time 24 hours a day after the standard check-in time, so even if you check in late at night, you can check in without worrying about being seen by others.

■ Disadvantages

Compared to hotels with staff on-site, it may take longer to get the support you need and the service may be inferior. Also, if it is difficult to understand how to operate the digital systems such as the smart check-in system and smart lock system, it may be stressful.
