I'd like to know what those information stations (just like tea/coffee stations) are called?

  • If they are transitory, they are sometimes called pop-ups, at least here in London, UK.

  • They used to call it a 'bureau,' and now it's called a 'kiosk,' 'booth' or sometimes even 'station' as you suggested. I am far more familiar with 'help desk' than other alternates.

You can call it a information kiosk or a helpdesk

In the context of a business convention or trade show, such a display can be called a booth or trade show booth. These may just be tables with pamphlets or fliers, etc., but they are often more elaborate displays with back-drops, video displays, and other things to catch the attention of show attendees.

  • A 'booth' is usually closed on some or all sides. A 'kiosk' is open, and may even be just a desk or 'bureau.' Today, though, the terms 'kiosk' and 'booth' are used almost interchangeably and 'bureau' has passed into history.
