Which map app does it open?

It hands off to the phone’s default — Apple Maps on iPhone, Google Maps on most Android — with your pin loaded.

Can I pin a specific entrance?

Yes — drop the source pin exactly where guests should arrive and the code encodes that point.

Does it work without an app?

Yes. iPhone (iOS 11+) and Android (10+) scan from the camera and open the built-in map app.

Hotel Location QR Codes (Free Map Pin)

Location QR codes for hotels

A location QR code drops a scan straight into the guest’s map app with directions to your front door — no copying an address from the confirmation email, no taxi driver guessing the right entrance. Print it on the booking confirmation and key-card sleeve so arrivals navigate to you cleanly. Enter your coordinates below to make one free.

Arriving guests are tired and on unfamiliar ground, and a written address often points a sat-nav at the wrong side of the building or a service entrance. A location (geo) QR code encodes your exact coordinates, so a scan opens the phone’s map app with a pin and a “Directions” button on the precise spot you want guests to arrive — the main entrance, the car park, or the check-in door.

Where the location code helps

On the booking confirmation email — guests scan from a laptop or save it before they travel.
On the key-card sleeve — handy for taxi handoff when guests head out and back.
In your “how to find us” page and pre-arrival messages — one pin, no address ambiguity.

Pin the right entrance

Drop your map pin precisely where you want guests to arrive, not just on the building footprint — a big difference for hotels with separate car-park or reception entrances. For a taxi handoff, the guest can show the driver the open map. Pair this with your hotel Wi-Fi code and room service code in the welcome pack.

Test the pin in both map apps

Scan your own code on an iPhone and an Android before printing — confirm the pin lands at reception, not the building centroid.
