Guest guide

The Stayantra Go app

Stayantra Go is the guest app for hotels that use Stayantra. Find a hotel, book it, and keep every trip in one place. During the stay the same app checks you in, sends requests to the hotel and shows your bill; that part is on Your stay.

Where to get it: Google Play (Android), by invitation during launch. There is no iPhone app yet. Who can use it: any guest. You can browse without an account.

Install Go

Go is in Google Play closed testing during launch, so it cannot be found by searching the Play Store. Stayantra adds testers to a list and sends them a link. Open the link on your Android phone, accept the invitation, then tap Install. You can book the same hotels without the app on the Stayantra marketplace in any browser: see Book online.

[!NOTE] Hotels: to have a guest added as a tester, ask from Help → Open a support ticket with the Gmail address on their phone. See Install the apps.
