How Can You Change Check-in Time at Hotels near Trivandrum Railway Station

by Manish Kumar Marketing Head

The hotels near Trivandrum Railway Station and anywhere else in the world have a set time for check-in and check-out, generally around mid-afternoon. The hotels always request their guests to arrive around the check-in and check-out time to avoid a hassle in completing the formalities and making it comfortable for the guests too. But, certain times many conditions arrive when the guests get too late or arrive too early at the hotel. In these cases, the hotels expect their guests to be a little patient and co-operate with them so that they can carry out the check-out process smoothly.

Arriving late is not at all a problem because once you have reserved a room at the hotel, the hotel will keep it for you even if you arrive late. But, this is not the case when you arrive early at your hotel.

The problems of arriving early at the Thiruvananthapuram hotels

Arriving early at any hotel can pose problems for the hotel, as well as for you. If you have arrived hours before your mentioned arrival time, you may not get the room straightaway. Generally, the guests work their way out with the clerks at the front desk but the front desk agents are not always in the position to help the guests arriving early.

If the hotel that you have booked was fully reserved the night before your arrival, they may not get empty room to offer you until the afternoon. This can put you in a fix as you would not want to wait after travelling for so long.

Plus, there may be other guests at the hotel, who might have arrived early, much before you, and so, the first room would go to them.

How to move the check-in time at the hotels near Trivandrum Railway Station?

Well, unfortunately, there is no formula that works wonders in this situation. You may have to wait in the lobby of the hotel to get the keys to your room. Nevertheless, you should keep trying.

If you have arrived at the hotel before the standard check-in time of the hotel, you just need to head straight to the front desk. Turn up to the front desk agent with a broad smile on your face and ask them if your room is ready.

You must also call the hotel a day before your day of arrival to enhance your chances of getting a room at the hotel even on showing up early. Call the front desk and ask the agent if the hotel is fully booked before your arrival day. If the receptionist tells you that the hotel is full on the night before your arrival, you must accept that you will not get the room on arriving early at the hotel.

In this case, you can cancel your reservation in the concerned hotel if the hotel allows you to cancel the booking without incurring charges and call another hotel to know if they can offer you a room on the day of your arrival.

This last-minute booking can work wonders for you. You may be able to get the best last-minute deal on booking a hotel.

If you are arriving in Trivandrum early than the set date and getting no place to stay, you may consider paying extra to the hotel. There are many hotels near Trivandrum Railway Station that let the guests have a room on early check-in if they pay the required amount. But, before you arrive unannounced at the hotel, you must ask the hotel if they entertain any such facility at their hotel. It is better to ask the hotel at the time of booking.

Also, you should ask the hotel if you can keep your luggage in a secure room if you don’t get access to your room at the hotel. In this case, just freshen up in the lobby washroom and chill by the pool or at the bar until the hotel readies your room.

The bottom line

Soon, there will come a time when the Thiruvananthapuram hotels will allow their guests to check-in anytime they arrive at the hotel. But for now, it is a far-fetched dream. As the hotels need to streamline many functions before handing over the keys to the guests on their arrival, they can’t just allow the guests to access the room anytime they want. The room needs to get cleaned, the sheets need to get changed, and fresh towels need to adorn the racks before the guests arrive in the room.

But, if you arrive really early at the hotel, you can use the above-specified tips to get early access to the hotel room.
