What Is the Usual Time for Checking out? How Do I Negotiate a Late Check-out?

In China, hotel check-out times and related policies generally follow industry standards, but specific rules may vary by hotel. Most hotels typically set check-in time after 14:00 and check-out time at 12:00 noon, though some membership-based hotels may offer extended check-out until 14:00 or even 16:00.

If you require a late check-out, some hotels may provide a free 1-2 hour extension depending on room availability, with additional charges (half-day or full-day rate) for longer delays. It’s advisable to inquire at the front desk upon check-in or the night before to confirm whether free or discounted late check-out is available.
