Hotel FAQs
Can unmarried couples share a room?
Yes. Unlike some other countries, China does not restrict unmarried couples from sharing a room. Just ensure both guests have their passports ready for scanning.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes. Most hotels ask for a deposit (“Ya Jin”) at check-in, usually around 500 RMB. It is refunded upon check-out. Credit cards are widely accepted for this.
Is tap water safe to drink?
No. Never drink tap water in China hotels. Use the provided kettle to boil it, or buy bottled water (usually provided for free).
Do staff speak English?
In 4-5 star hotels, yes. In budget hotels, English is rare. Use a translation app or stick to the “Foreigner Approved” hotels we recommend.
