QR codes for hotels
Guests scan things that save them a phone call: the Wi-Fi, the front desk, the way to the entrance. Pick a job and the button opens the tool that does it.
- No signup for static codes
- No watermarks
- Editable in-room page if you want one
What do you want the code to do?
Guest Wi-Fi in the room
A card by the bed that joins the network without spelling out a password. Works with no internet on the phone yet, which is the whole point.
In your browser — the password is readable inside the code, so use the guest network
Make a Wi-Fi codeReception in one scan
A contact card with the property name, the front-desk number and your address, saved straight to the guest's phone.
In your browser — static
Make a contact card codeDirections to the door
A map pin for the actual entrance, which is often not where a search result drops a driver.
In your browser — static
Make a location codeA WhatsApp line for requests
Extra towels, a late checkout, a taxi. A code that opens a chat with your number and an opening line already written.

Room service, breakfast times, house rules — a hosted page behind a stable code, so changing the breakfast time does not mean reprinting every room.
Hosted page — free account, editable after printing

Start with the three that always get used
Wi-Fi, reception and directions. Each is a static code: the content is inside the pattern, nothing is hosted, nothing expires and nothing needs an account. A guest with no data allowance can still join the network from the Wi-Fi card, which is exactly when they need it most.
What an editable page adds — and costs
Anything that changes with the season belongs on a hosted page: breakfast hours, room-service items, the spa timetable. The printed code points at one stable address and you edit the page. The cost is a dependency: the guest needs a working connection, and the page has to keep being served. For a Wi-Fi card that is the wrong trade; for a room-service list it is usually the right one. The static vs dynamic guide lays out both sides.
A worked room set
A property fitting out rooms typically prints: a Wi-Fi tent card on the desk, a small contact-card code inside the door with the front-desk number, and one code in the lobby with directions to the entrance for arriving drivers. Room service goes on a hosted page only if the list changes more often than the cards are reprinted.
The hotel template opens with the sections already laid out — room service, hours, house rules — ready for your own wording, rates and property name.
Printing suggestions
- Matte card, not gloss; overhead room lighting plus gloss is the usual reason a code will not read.
- Keep the four-module quiet zone clear — do not crop the code to fit a design.
- Reprint Wi-Fi cards whenever the guest password changes; the old code contains the old password.
- Check the finished dimensions with the size calculator and verify a proof in the scanner.
