Creating Your Account

How are the sign-up questions used?

User name and password: Your user name (eMail) and password must each have between 7 and 15 characters. For your security, your password must contain at your eMail adress (e.g. otela@otela.net). For more tips, please read "How can I protect my password?" below.

How can I protect my password?

Your user name and password give you access to your otela account that you've saved.

A Good Password...

It's a good idea to change your password periodically — for example, every six months. And certainly change your password if you've told it to anyone or suspect that someone may have access to your account.

Can I have more than one account?

Yes, only if you administer several hotels. Each account becomes a separate access. Please contact us, if you would like to manage more than 3 hotels by e-mail.

What if I need to change my information?

You can change the information — such as e-mail address or password — at any time. Just send us an email to update our account.

Accessing Your Information

What if I forgot my password or user name?

If you forgot your password:

We'll e-mail you a temporary password so you can sign in to your account. For your security, this temporary password will work only one time. You'll be required to choose a new password when you sign in. Please follow these quick steps:

  1. Enter the user name (e-mail) for your account. This is the special user name you chose when you created your account, not your own first and last name.
  2. Check your mailbox for your temporary password.
  3. Sign in with your user name (which hasn't changed) and your temporary password. You can use the sign-in link provided or sign in from the otela systems.
  4. When you sign in with your temporary password, you'll be asked to change it to something permanent.

Please note that all e-mails will go to the address associated with your account, for your own security.

If you tried all of these steps and still can not access your account, please call customer service at (+49) (0)431-671519.

The link in my temporary password e-mail doesn't work.

If the sign-in link doesn't work, simply point your browser to the www.otela.net home page and sign in there. You'll see the user name and password fields as part of the "MyOtela" box. Just enter your current user name (which hasn't changed) and paste in the temporary password that was e-mailed to you.

The password e-mailed to me doesn't work.

Copy and paste the temporary password into otela.net's password field, to avoid any mistyping. If the password still doesn't work, please make sure that you're using the right user name (e-mail). The temporary password is associated with one specific otela account.

Please keep in mind, too, that the temporary password will only work until you sign in and — as required — change your password to a permanent one that selected by yourself.

If you forgot your password and were trying unsuccessfully to guess it, please go to the "Forgot Your Password?" page to have it reset. If you are not the person who attempted to sign in to your account, we suggest that you make sure your password is as secure as possible. Read tips on making your password secure.
