F.A.Q.
Can I get a room at JB hotels without prior booking?
You can make hourly-based reservations at the last minute, but you still need to do it through Flow. Most JB hotels that offer hourly rates do not make this option available at their reception desk.
Aside from the stay duration, what else are the differences between a full-time and hourly reservation?
Some JB hotels provide a buffet breakfast for guests with a full-day stay, but that’s all. Hourly reservation gives you the same access to all the hotel’s facilities, so you are welcome to make the most of those during your short stay.
