“Old school” with “new ways”: Restrictions due to fixed check-in times are a thing of the past here. Check-in is entirely contactless. When you book, simply provide us with the names, addresses, and dates of birth of ALL arriving guests, and you’ll receive your room keys via our “keyboy” key safe or - brand new - your smartphone becomes your room key via the “JustIn mobile” app - simply install it in advance so we can send you the digital key on the morning of your arrival. Your rooms will be ready for occupancy by early afternoon at the latest. If you plan to arrive earlier, please let us know, and we’ll do our best to have the room ready for you in time.
