Vikey
Thanks to Vikey’s innovative check-in system you can forget city crossings, cancelled flights, unexpected events and long delays waiting for your guests by checking them in directly from your smartphone! With Vikey’s remote check-in, self check-in and online check-in you can choose the preferred way to have guests access your apartment!
Vikey does not require building permits. As Vikey is installed completely inside your apartment it does not require any building permits.
Open by Phone Call
Once your guest reaches your apartment he/she will ring the intercom. You will immediately receive a phone call from the intercom which will allow you to communicate with the guest. By pressing 5 on your phone’s keypad you will then be able to open the building door, and by pressing 8 you will be able to open the apartment door.
Open by App
Your guest will contact you as soon as he/she reaches your apartment (via Whatsapp or by calling you directly on your phone). At this point you can open your App, click on “Open Building Door” to open the building door and on “Open Door” to open the apartment door.
Self Check-In
Once you have created a new reservation on your personal Vikey Dashboard, your guest will receive an automated email informing him/her of the system and sending a personal reservation key. With the reservation key your guest will be able to access the App and open both the building and the apartment door in complete autonomy for the duration of the stay (only for guests with 3G/free roaming).

We rented an apartment in Verona for 3…
We rented an apartment in Verona for 3 days which was spoilt by the Vikey "Smart" lock system as it was too unreliable. Sometimes after pressing the phone and door button it would eventually unlock, but 3 times we had to call the help line, which given my lack of Italian was rather frustrating.

Terrible
Going on a trip to Rome next week along with 4 other people in the party. Through air b and b we have hired a beautiful high end apartment. However we all need to check in prior to travelling. Unfortunately we are unable to do so because we are not able to get the language to remain in English. It reverts straight back to Italian. I have brought this issue up with the host and air b and b but no help so far. There is no way to contact Vikey through the platform. This is a horrible service and (if we are eventually successful) I will never use again and stick with hotels in the future.
