How to book a day use hotel room

We don't believe in rushing. Which is why we offer flexible time bands ranging from 3 to 11 hours. HotelsByDay's time bands are predetermined and thus you cannot book a room 'by the hour.' Not only do we offer more convenient, lengthier time bands, but they come at a better value than booking by the minute, hour, or night. 

When you need a room for a few hours to a day, simply search for the location and date you need. Browse hotels based on rates, available time-bands, amenities offered and more.
