I have booked a hotel, but I just checked in for a few minutes. Can I check out?

Of course, you can return it, but you have to pay half a day's room rate or even one day's room rate.

12 check-out means that check-out at noon 12 is a common rule in hotel accommodation regulations. In some cities of our country, the rules of hotel check-out have been obviously relaxed.

However, this loosening is not very "thorough". For example, some large star-rated hotels in Xiamen will delay the check-out time until 5 pm, while some hotels in Qingdao will determine the check-out time according to the actual needs of guests.

Consumers Association questioned:

It is understood that many hotels in China are equipped with full-time room cleaners, which is different from foreign countries. After the guests check out, the cleaning union cleans the room at any time. In this case, it seems a bit far-fetched that hotels or guesthouses still follow the international practice of 12 check-out.

"We also think that this' international practice' is somewhat overbearing and far-fetched." A deputy secretary-general of the China Consumers Association said in an interview with the media.

People in the hotel industry have different views on the "overbearing" rule of checking out at noon 12. A senior manager surnamed Shao of a hotel in the provincial capital told the reporter that the noon 12 check-out rule is widely adopted by hotels all over the world because it is scientific.
