@christian.grossi: American traveler can’t believe how hotels operate in China This is the Golden Phoenix Sea View Hotel in Sanya China. This hotel is literally meters away from the beach and ocean and has rooms for $36 per night. Everywhere in China you will find cheap hotels that provide incredible service. But the best part is that they almost always give you free early check in and checkout. As well as a bunch of other gifts! #fyp #tellme #traveltiktok #china #hainan
I will never understand 3pm check in and 10 am check out cause they need to clean the room 😳 nope

Now, a lot of hotels in China are implementing a new rule that lets guests stay for a full 24 hours before checking out. This means you can check in at 5:00 p.m. and stay until 5:00 p.m. the next day before checking out.

Usually, you can check out of hotels in China before 2:00 pm, but before 2009, you had to check out before 12:00 due to regulations. Many people complained about this rule, so the government and the hotel association removed it. Now, most hotels in China allow check-out before 2:00pm. Some hotels also offer a late check-out for their members, allowing them to check out before 3 or 4 pm.

When you travel China during off peak, most of the time they allow early check in and late check out or if they check you in late you might get a free room upgrade

That's actually quite normal. I worked in China hotels for 20 years. Normally is 12 noon, but if you need extra time we allow for 2pm checkout, unless the hotel is full. But even then, if we have late check-in (evening or night) we can be flexible. Reason is because housekeeping runs 24/7!

A lot of hotels in China go by 24hrs check out,ie if u checked in at 5 pm, then u can check out by 5pm the next day. Some hotels started doing it as early as in 2011. There are some debates on the Chinese internet that if this 24hr check out thing should be made the norm/standard in China.

That’s probably because they have adequate housekeeping and probably pay them well!
