STAY
What time can I check in or check out?
Check-in starts at 4:00 PM, and check-out is at 11:00 AM.
If you’re staying in a room and would like to sleep a little longer, simply ask our hosts about a later check-out. Subject to availability, departure can be extended until 2:00 PM. Early check-in or late check-out may be available for a small additional fee.
Can I store my luggage before or after my stay?
Yes. We offer luggage storage for both early arrivals and late departures.

Unfortunately, pets are not allowed to stay overnight in our rooms.
That said, you may meet Drifty, our resident feline: please be kind to her if you see her wandering around.
Where can I smoke?
Drift is a non-smoking hotel. You’re welcome to smoke or vape outside in designated outdoor areas.
Do the hosts ever sleep?
They do, but they take turns.
Drift is staffed daily from approximately 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, so you’ll usually find a host in the lobby. Outside these hours, you can reach us 24/7 via WhatsApp or telephone.
Our on-site team is here to help you settle in, answer questions, and connect you with local experiences. And yes, they double as breakfast chefs too. If you’re craving breakfast, they’ll happily prepare something for you.
Is Drift suitable for long-term stays?
Absolutely. Drift is ideal for longer stays, remote workers, and digital nomads. Our fully equipped shared kitchens, communal living rooms, terraces, pool, and garden support both comfort and productivity.
For extended-stay availability and pricing, please contact us directly.
What’s happening in town?
Our hosts know the city inside out, so don’t hesitate to ask what’s happening around town. They’ll point you to the best places to go and things to see, and they might even join you.
