How do I check in?
When you arrive, head to Reception to collect your keys from our friendly House Hosts. If you've checked in online, your process will be quicker.
Some Cove locations offer self-check-in kiosks after 4pm, but please note, not all properties have this option.
For self-check in properties, guests will receive detailed instructions via email.
For Huntingdon House, guests must go to partner property Ember Locke (next door) to check-in and retrieve the access code to the main entrance, and metal turnkey for their individual apartment.
For Arne Street, St Martins and The Moorgate, guests will receive an email containing details about the arrival process, and any access codes required on the day of arrival. We recommend adding any extras to your stay before arrival, so these can be arranged in advance.
What do I need to bring with me?
Please bring:
- Your confirmation email
- Official photo ID (passport or driving licence only)
- Payment card or the method used to book
Even if you’ve checked in online, we’ll still need these items for verification.
Why do I need to show ID?
It’s a legal requirement to verify your identity to help protect against fraud. You also need to be 18 or over (unless accompanied by a parent or guardian).
