Roxi Urban Residence Brussels

Your Mobile Key for Hotels

Brussels

Roxi Urban Residence is a fast growing Urban Hospitality concept, a residence with 99 short stay apartments where students, parents, guest professors, businesses and tourists can stay.

The trendy lobby and relaxation area creates a delightful mix of both students and business people.

According to Steven Verrept, Project and brand manager for Roxi Residence, value for money is expected. Nowadays, a guest expects to be able to communicate at any time with their cell phone. We have a large reception team. Communication has now been taken care of with the Your Mobile Key webapp from Hotek. Because it is completely adapted to our needs with our logo and in our style.

– It allows the guest to open the front door, hotel room and, for example, the gym.

– All additional services which can make the stay more pleasant are offered via the Your Mobile Key webapp. Such as attractions, weather, WiFi code, restaurant menu and more.

– This has a direct effect on the workload of our staff, who now more than ever can dedicate their time to the guests and other important activities.

Why did you choose Your Mobile Key?

I have worked for Park Plaza Hotels, Radisson Hotel Group and B-aparthotels in the past and have experience with different access control systems. After a market comparison, we chose the Your Mobile Key solution from Hotek. Thanks to the digital communication with the guest, there is more interaction, partly because we integrated it with our PMS system MEWS. Hotek delivers and installs the system completely. In addition, it is not only a reliable system, the price is very good.

The location of a successful hospitality company is just as important as the quality. But communication via cell phone is certainly an equally important aspect, especially in the year 2020 where the new generation of guests organise almost everything via cell phone.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Roxi Residence is open. We work automated as much as possible, and in this way we respect the low-contact measures. Matters such as sufficient alcohol gels, mouth masks and a plexi screen at the reception ensure a safe environment for our staff and guests.

What was the reason you purchased this system? And what made you decide to choose Hotek?

Functional, looks professional. Our target group expects to be able to use the cell phone. There are many technologies that don’t have a good balance. In Your Mobile Key I find the perfect balance.

– User friendly interface

– The way it is automated and works seamlessly with the PMS.

– The possibility to create upsales with Your Mobile Key as well as reducing the number of operations for our staff.

Is there an integration with a third system?

Yes, with MEWS.

Are there any other products you use from Hotek / BeDutch?

Yes, we have products from BeDutch such as bathroom accessories, hairdryers etc… What I find important is the large stock. By working with Hotek / BeDutch I have 1 contact for both our security products as well as our comfort products. Also I don’t need stock because Hotek delivers quickly. Easy one stop shopping.
