Last time I still remembered if we went for a holiday, we can check in hotel as early as 1PM, but after that they start delay to 2pm, and now they delay it until 3PM. Why hotel/resorts nowadays required customer to late check in to hotel? Last week went to vacation at PD, check in 3pm, now I book again to for holiday at Perak, check in at 3pm. Book a hotel for 2 days 1 night stay is not worth anymore due to late check in to hotel This post has been edited by The Residences: Sep 23 2020, 04:57 PM

They don’t need to rush since there is no demand.
If you book nice hotels also they can accommodate your check out time until 3pm max.
That’s why hotel ask you what time your expected arrival time.

Haven't used Agoda for quite long time, can't remember much

You can leave your bags and go out in the meantime, for lunch perhaps idk.
Then when it’s time, comfortably come and check in.

less income = lesser staff for house cleaning. so they just increase their buffer time.

So by 2pm, many people want to check in to rest for a while, take a shower and so on. I understand it's just delay for 1 hour, but still it's kinda waste of time waiting tbh.

Haven't used Agoda for quite long time, can't remember much Technically they should let you check in by 2pm but sometimes due to the previous guest that occupy the room you have they may have take longer time to clean. An instance whereby I arrive Aman Tokyo at 2pm but my check in time was pushed to later 4. It happens sometimes but as guest you surely don’t feel nice to get this message. They offered something as gratitude of patience but it’s all good.

I remember when i was young that time, my father brought me to hotel....the check in time initially was 12pm but it grew more and more later ..... from 1pm to 2pm now to 3pm..... so actually stay in hotel is no longer worth it anymore due to shorter hours in the hotel unless they have huge discount...

Staff need time to clean up the mess after ppl checkout @12:00. If u want it early, try to book something that others rarely book.
For PD, try Royal Suite / Imperial Suite / Presidential Suite @ Lexis Hibiscus.

Because they want to give tenants opportunity for late checkout. Late checkout, they get more money.

If your room is back to back by previous tenant, usually they checkout at 12, give them allowance of making up your bed or maybe previous tenant late check out, 3pm to check in next guest make sense.
If you hold those Premier or gold account with the hotel flagship, check in 8am pun boleh
