What if I forget to send the new room number?

She will message when she reaches the old door and gets no answer. Reply with the new number and she walks straight to it; sending it early simply spares her the search.

Does an upgrade change the booking?

No. A larger room may suit a longer or fuller format, but the booking itself stays as agreed unless you ask to change it.

The hotel moved me to another building outside the area. Can the booking follow?

No. Tell the thread at once. Before she sets out, the notice scale applies as usual; after she has set out, the deposit is kept unless the hour goes to another client.

When the front desk moves you to another room before a Schiphol hotel massage

Rooms in airport hotels change hands more often than guests expect. The one you were given is not ready, a fault turns up in the bathroom, the desk offers an upgrade, or you ask to move away from a noisy lift. None of that is a problem for a booking, provided the new number reaches the thread before she reaches the old door.

Send the new number at once

The moment you have the new key, write the new room number in the thread, with the wing or tower if it has changed. Do it before you carry your bags across; it takes a few seconds, and it is the only part of the move that affects anyone but you. If the lifts on the new floor ask for a key card, add that too.

If she is already on her way

Once she has set out, a change of room within the same building changes almost nothing. Message the new number, and if possible be at the new door, or at the lift lobby, when she arrives. A short note such as moved to the fifth floor, same building is all that is needed. The note on meeting her at the key-card lift helps if the new floor is behind a card reader.

A move to another building

Sometimes a hotel that is overbooked sends a guest to a sister building nearby. That changes more, because her route was agreed to the first address. Tell the thread as soon as you know, with the new hotel's name. If the new building is inside the area, the reply re-plans her journey, and the start may move a little. If it lies beyond the airport grounds, the visit cannot go ahead there, and the notice scale on the cancellation page decides what is kept, as it would for any change on your side.

Using a move to your advantage

A room change is also a chance to ask for what suits the evening: a room without a connecting door, a quieter side of the building, a walk-in shower if you are booking a format that ends in the bathroom. Desks are often generous at the moment they are already apologising. The page on rooms with a connecting door explains why that particular request is worth making.

Nothing else moves with the room

The length, the figure and the half sent ahead stay exactly as agreed. Only the number on the door is different, and once it is in the thread, the evening carries on as planned.
