Phone charging stations for hotels.
Guests check in drained from the airport, the station or the road, then head straight back out with maps, tickets and translation running on one battery.
Where the charging kiosk sits.
- Guests
Take a power bank at check-in, explore all day and return it to any charging kiosk on the network.
- Kiosk
Sits at the front desk and becomes part of check-in.
- Venue
A service moment at the desk, and a revenue share on every rental.
The Pro-12 fits most front desks. Hotel rentals run long, since guests take a powerbank out for the day, so twelve slots give the desk enough depth to cover a morning checkout rush and an afternoon arrival wave.
See the kiosk range“We were charging guests’ phones behind reception, which meant a queue at the desk and a drawer of phones nobody could find. Now they take a powerbank to the tables and drop it back on their way out.”
Hotels & stays, in detail.
- Can guests return the power bank to a different charging kiosk?
- Yes. A power bank rented at a hotel desk can be returned to any ZAPT charging kiosk on the network, so a guest who leaves for the station does not have to come back. That is what makes the network more useful with every placement.
- Does this replace charging phones behind reception?
- It is the usual reason hotels install one. Storing guests’ phones behind the desk creates a queue, a drawer of devices and a liability. A kiosk moves that to self-service: the guest keeps their phone and takes the power with them.
- How long can a guest keep a ZAPT Powerbank?
- Up to 24 hours, which covers a full day out. The £15 deposit is returned within two minutes of the power bank going back into any charging kiosk. Keep it longer than 24 hours and the deposit is forfeited and the guest keeps the unit.
