The case
The Hotel Colonial Barcelona is an 81-room city hotel that has been operating since 2009. It has a buffet breakfast room located on the lower floor and a bar within the establishment itself.
During 2025, the hotel recorded around 36,000 overnight stays, which means high customer turnover and demanding operational requirements, especially at times of high demand.
In this context, efficient management of check-in, check-out, billing, and occupancy control processes becomes key to ensuring a good guest experience and smooth internal operations.

‘We have gone from spending between one and two hours on manual occupancy tasks to resolving it in four clicks. With an annual volume of more than 36,000 overnight stays, Prestige allows us to manage check-in, check-out, billing and occupancy quickly and efficiently, even at peak times.’

Streamlining customer service

This is particularly useful during times of high demand and high customer traffic.
Quick and efficient check-out
Thanks to Prestige, departure processes are also simplified:
Occupancy control and key data
One of the system’s great strengths is the generation of lists:
Previously, this task was performed manually and was very time-consuming. Now, the system generates reports immediately and the data is exported in XML format, making it easy to share and analyse.
Simplified invoicing
Billing is another key area where Prestige adds value:
