Hotel/KLOC-Is it legal to check out before 0: 00 or 2: 00?

1. According to the relevant laws and regulations in China, the hotel should clearly indicate the room price and the settlement method of accommodation time in a prominent position in the lobby, and agree to check out before 12 after informing the guests. The hotel's practice is legal.

2. China Tourist Hotel Industry Code

Article 10 The hotel shall clearly indicate the settlement method of room price and accommodation time in a prominent position in the lobby, or confirm that the above information has been informed to the guests in an appropriate way.

Article 11 According to the national regulations, if a hotel charges service fees for rooms, catering, laundry, telephone and other services, it shall clearly mark the price on the room rate table or related service price list.

Although "China Tourist Hotel Industry Code" is only an industry code and does not belong to the legal category, strictly speaking, it cannot be considered that there is a "legal basis" for the practice of "checking out before 12". However, as an industry norm, the existence of this norm is no less deterrent to the hotel industry than the law, and the practice of "checking out before 12 o'clock" has also been generally observed over the years. In fact, it has played the role of "soft law" and unified the industry code of conduct, or "business habits", which should be respected in principle.
