Hotel early check in and late check out regulations

Check-in time is 2pm and check-out time is 12pm. Outside of this time you usually have to pay extra.

Responding to readers about the costs incurred when checking in early and checking out late, a media and marketing representative of a 5-star hotel in Hanoi said that currently all hotels have a check-in time of 2:00 p.m. or later. Check-out time is usually 12:00 p.m., and in some places it is 11:00 a.m. This time corresponds to one day and night of hotel room rental.

When guests need to check in early or check out late, they need to contact the hotel directly for the most accurate answer. Normally, if guests only arrive early or check out late 1-2 hours, it will be free. But if longer, guests will have to pay from 30% to 100% of the room rate.

In addition, according to information from Tripadvisor and Travel and Leisure, the check-in time of 14:00 and check-out time of 12:00 is to help the hotel optimize business operations while still providing convenience to guests. The 2-hour lunch period is reserved for cleaning and checking rooms to serve new guests. Room cleaning time usually ranges from 15 to 60 minutes, depending on room availability.

The staff will vacuum, change the bedding, wipe down surfaces, replace or replenish food, cups, and dishes in the room... The bathroom, the dirtiest place, is usually cleaned last. In addition, the staff will also have to check the functionality of the room's appliances such as the TV, air conditioner, and refrigerator before completing the job.

In case of early check-in, if the hotel still has available rooms and has been requested in advance, the receptionist will arrange a room for the guest. Some hotels apply an early check-in fee, from 5am to 9am, which is 50% of the room rate, from 9am to 2pm, which is 30% of the room rate.

For late check out, the hotel will have to base on the number of guests the next day. If the rooms are full, you will not be allowed to check out late. If there are still available rooms, usually check out time from 13:00 to 15:00 will be charged 30% of the room rate, from 15:00 to 18:00 is 50% of the room rate and if check out after 18:00, the fee is 100%.

Some notes when checking in and checking out

- When booking a room, you need to find out information about the hotel. Referring to comments from previous guests is one of the good experiences.

- Each hotel will have its own regulations regarding check-in and check-out times, so if you need to check in early and check out later than the regulations, you need to discuss in advance to avoid trouble when you arrive.

- Booking a room by the hour after check out is a cost-saving solution if the hotel offers this service. Usually, renting a room by the hour is cheaper than paying a late check out fee.
