Dayuse

Dayuse, hotel booking by the hour during the day

Dayuse is a hotel room booking platform designed for daytime stays: it allows you to book a room for a few hours without staying overnight. The company presents itself as the world leader in this segment and operates through its website and mobile app, with over one million downloads and a presence in more than 29 countries, according to the data it publishes.

The service is aimed at anyone who needs a space to rest or work away from home without booking a full night. Booking is done in three steps: searching for the hotel, selecting the time slot and extras, and confirmation. Payment is made at the hotel itself, with no prepayment, and offers include free cancellation until the last minute.

Time slots and stay options

Available time slots depend on each property and can range from 6:00 to 23:00. The platform distinguishes between day rooms, hotels with early check-in for those who need the room in the morning, and properties with a jacuzzi, whirlpool or hot tub.

In addition to room booking, Dayuse offers experiences called Daydream, all-inclusive packages negotiated with specific hotels. Examples shown in the catalogue include stays with access to wellness areas, restaurant or bar in properties in London and its metropolitan area, with times such as 10:00-17:00 or 16:00-23:30 and customer ratings between 4.4 and 4.6 out of 5.

Common uses of the service

• Travellers in transit: rest and freshen up between flights, long layovers, early arrivals, late departures, cancelled flights or stays before and after a cruise.
• Rest and wellness: access to spa, pool, jacuzzi or massage services for a few hours.
• Romantic occasions: birthdays, Valentine's Day, anniversaries or gifts, without needing to stay overnight.
• Remote work and meetings: using the room as a space to concentrate or for meetings with clients and teams in hotels with meeting rooms.

Available hotels and destinations

The platform's selection covers 3- to 5-star properties, and most partner hotels offer day guests the same access to facilities as overnight guests: jacuzzi, sauna, pool, steam room or gym, among others.

The catalogue includes hotels in cities such as London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Birmingham, with examples such as Novotel London Wembley, Warren House Hotel, Holiday Inn London Brentford Lock, Doubletree by Hilton London Kingston Upon Thames, ibis Manchester Centre Princess Street, Village Hotel Manchester Cheadle, Leonardo Edinburgh Murrayfield, Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket, ibis Birmingham New Street Station or Clayton Hotel Birmingham. The website also groups options by proximity to airports such as Heathrow, London City, Birmingham or Los Angeles.

Booking, payment and customer service

Booking does not require a credit card and the amount is paid directly at the hotel. The platform offers free cancellation and allows you to change properties if time slots vary. It has a beta artificial intelligence assistant that suggests daytime stay ideas based on user preferences, as well as an electronic gift card to gift an experience.

Telephone support is available on 020 4571 4354 and the website operates in pounds sterling for the UK market.
