It's my first time to consult in a five-star hotel.

As an employee of a five-star hotel, I can tell you:

1. Hotels in China don't require guests to tip the bellman (even if it is foreign), but it depends on what kind of five-star hotel you are staying in. If it is a foreign-funded hotel like Shangri-La, bellmen often get tips.

Breakfast is usually included in the room rate (you'd better ask clearly when you are at the front desk), so breakfast in the cafeteria is free, but if you ask for breakfast to be delivered to your room, you will have to pay. Other catering expenses shall be paid separately. A real five-star hotel can deliver food 24 hours a day, but there is a service charge of 15% ~ 20% for delivering food to the room.

When you check in, the front desk staff will ask you to pay a certain amount of deposit. If you pay more deposit, you can sign the bill for consumption in hotels, restaurants, entertainment and other places, and then settle the bill when you finally settle the bill. Of course, if your spending exceeds the deposit amount, you can't sign the bill. If you will spend more in the hotel, you can pay more deposit at the front desk, which is more convenient for signing the bill.

Rooms in five-star hotels will provide free mineral water. At first, there were two bottles. After drinking, you can ask the waiter for it. However, there is a charge for drinks in the mini-bar. You can also pay with the room rate when you check out.
