A Hotel-Grade Guest Experience for Boutique Hotels

Give guests the polished, informed welcome of a big hotel, without the big-hotel systems. BetterSTR combines a free digital guidebook, an in-room TV welcome screen and an optional companion tablet, all branded and managed remotely.

Why hosts use BetterSTR here

Boutique hotels, aparthotels and serviced apartments want a premium, on-brand guest experience across every touchpoint. BetterSTR brings three together: a digital guidebook on the guest’s phone, a branded TV welcome screen in the room, and an optional in-room tablet, each showing your guide, WiFi, local tips and upsells, and each managed from one dashboard.
