QR codes by use Hotels
QR codes for hotels: guest directories, Wi-Fi and dining
Guests want three things on arrival: the Wi-Fi, the breakfast hours and how to ask for something. One code in the room can answer all of them and stay current.
Free and static: paste your link, download SVG or PNG, no sign-up, never expires. Want art, a link you can change later and scan counts? Make it an art code.
QR codes for hotels: the facts
- What the code holds
- A link to a guest directory page: Wi-Fi details, dining hours, room service menu, checkout and local tips. For a simple guesthouse, a Wi-Fi code (WIFI:T:WPA;S:name;P:password;;) joins the network directly.
- Print size
- 1 to 1.5 in on a key-card sleeve, 2 in on a desk or nightstand card, 4 to 6 in on lobby and elevator signs.
- Scan distance
- Room cards in hand; lobby signs from 3 to 6 ft.
- What breaks it
- Captive portals. Most hotel Wi-Fi asks guests to log in on a web page after joining; a Wi-Fi code can join the network but cannot fill in that page. Monthly password changes also make printed Wi-Fi codes go stale.
- Good to know
- A dynamic code pointing at a guest page solves both: change the password or the breakfast hours on the page and every room card stays correct.
Make it art, tested to scan
We paint the code into a picture in your colours, then test it with three decoders under 16 print and phone conditions before you can download it.
Your codes outlive your subscription
Cancel and dynamic codes keep pointing at your last link. Read the promise.

Questions
Can a QR code connect guests to hotel Wi-Fi?
It can join the network on iPhone and Android, but if your Wi-Fi has a login page (a captive portal), guests still see that page. A guest page code that shows the current details is more reliable.
What should the in-room code open?
A short guest directory: Wi-Fi, dining hours, room service, checkout time, parking and how to reach the front desk.
Can we ask for reviews by QR code?
Yes, at checkout or on the key-card sleeve. Ask every guest, not only the happy ones: Google does not allow choosing who gets asked.
Do the cards need reprinting when the menu or password changes?
Not with a dynamic code. Change the page or the link and every printed card shows the new details.
