Is the hotel deposit refundable?

Legal analysis: the deposit is a guarantee and generally cannot be returned. You can negotiate with the hotel to deal with this problem. Under normal circumstances, the hotel will ask you to pay part of the compensation. If the time is too short for the hotel to rent the venue, then the deposit cannot be refunded.

Legal basis: Article 587 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).

If the debtor performs the debt, the deposit shall be used as the price or recovered. If the party paying the deposit fails to perform the debt or the performance of the debt is not in conformity with the agreement, thus the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, it has no right to request the return of the deposit; If the party receiving the deposit fails to perform the debt or the performance of the debt does not conform to the agreement, so that the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, the deposit shall be returned twice.
