BW Plus Oslo Airport Hotel expanded its self-service offerings for even more convenience
“We want to get our guests into their rooms as quickly and happily as possible. The self-service kiosks from Arribatec are perfect for this mission.”
– Henning Megrund, General Manager at BW Plus Oslo Airport
When Best Western Plus Oslo Airport first approached Arribatec in 2021 to learn about the capabilites of our self-service solutions, they were facing a dilemma.
With the hotel catering to travellers worldwide, they aimed to find a way to speed up and simplify the check-in process for their guests. They signed with Arribatec for a single self-service kiosk in their reception and have enjoyed a close relationship ever since.
Upgrade – expand – extend
Since the launch of its first kiosk in 2021, BW Plus Oslo Airport has been delighted with the performance of the self-service solution from Arribatec Hospitality. However, they always look for ways to improve efficiency and the customer experience.
In June 2023, they renovated their reception to become sleeker and more modern.
At the same time, they decided to expand their self-service offering by upgrading the existing self-service kiosk, adding a second one, and installing the Arribatec Payments extension.
During a regular upgrade and maintenance call about the existing kiosk, the General Manager discussed the kiosk’s success and popularity with guests and inquired about installing a second Arribatec kiosk.
“Guests like how quick it is to check in via the kiosk. It’s available 24/7, giving our guests more options when they arrive.”
– Henning Megrund, hotel manager at BW Plus Oslo Airport
A tailored payment experience for guests
In addition to getting two brand new kiosks, BW was looking for a better way to handle payment through the kiosks. This led to the decision to implement Arribatec Payments for a seamless payment process.
This expansion ensures a seamless and efficient payment experience for both the hotel and its guests. Arribatec Payments is based on Adyen, a market-leading omnichannel payment company offering hotels multiple payment methods on a single platform.
This allows Oslo Airport Hotel to easily receive payments for stays and upgrades.
Showing trust
The decision to upgrade and expand with Arribatec Hospitality’s hotel solutions reflects BW’s satisfaction with our check-in solutions. It serves as a nod to the enduring excellence that Arribatec Hospitality brings.
“Our products faithfully get the job done day after day, year after year, contributing to the success of our clients. BW Plus Oslo Airport embraced our proposal, and the transformation began,” Pål Berget, customer success at Arribatec Hospitality states.
The outdated kiosk was replaced with a state-of-the-art model, and an additional one was installed shortly after.
