Hourly Stays
Sell rooms by the hour without breaking nightly inventory.
Set up to six hourly slots and a day-use rate per room type. Hourly, day-use and overnight bookings share one availability calendar, with a cleaning buffer between guests.
What's inside
Built for the way you actually work.
Up to six slots per room type with their own price, plus a separate day-use rate and check-in window.
Hourly bookings see overnight stays, blocks and room status, so a room is never sold twice.
A turnover buffer (30 minutes by default, adjustable per room type) keeps time for housekeeping between guests.

How it works
A workflow worth keeping.
Enable hourly stays on the room types you want to sell by the hour.
Add up to six slots (for example 3, 6 and 12 hours) with prices, plus a day-use rate.
Book at the desk. The room returns to availability after the cleaning buffer.
Who hourly and day-use stays are for
Hotels near airports, railway stations and hospitals see steady demand for rooms for a few hours: transit passengers, business travellers who need a room between meetings, and families visiting patients. Day-use rooms also suit guests with late flights who need somewhere to rest after check-out. Selling these hours turns rooms that would sit empty during the day into revenue.
How hourly and overnight bookings share inventory
Hourly stays use the same availability engine as overnight bookings. Before a slot is offered, StaySynq checks overnight reservations, room blocks and the room's status, then adds the cleaning buffer after the hourly guest leaves. The same room can be sold for an afternoon slot and an overnight stay on the same day without anyone checking a spreadsheet.
Pricing hourly slots
Each room type can have up to six slots, each with a label, a number of hours and a price that can include or exclude tax. You choose whether hourly stays must be prepaid or follow your overnight payment policy, and give them their own cancellation policy. Hourly revenue shows up in its own report, so you can see whether the programme is worth the extra housekeeping.
FAQ
Hourly Stays questions.
Can the same room be sold hourly and overnight on the same day?
Yes. Hourly and overnight bookings share one availability calendar, and the cleaning buffer is added after each hourly stay.
How is cleaning time handled?
Each hourly stay reserves a turnover buffer after check-out: 30 minutes by default, and you can change it per room type.
Can hourly stays be prepaid only?
Yes. Choose prepaid-only or the same payment policy as overnight stays, and set a separate cancellation policy.
