# Hotel checkout checklist

Leave your hotel without forgotten belongings: check the room, review the bill, return keys and organise luggage and onward travel.

## The evening before

- [ ] Confirm the checkout time with your booking or reception
- [ ] Ask about luggage storage if you will leave later
- [ ] Arrange transport and allow enough time for your next connection
- [ ] Check whether breakfast or other services are included on departure day
- [ ] Pack items you will not need in the morning
- [ ] Set an alarm that leaves time for packing and checkout

## Sweep the room

- [ ] Check drawers, wardrobes and coat hooks
- [ ] Check under the bed and around the bedside tables
- [ ] Collect chargers from every socket you used
- [ ] Empty the safe and check that your travel documents are with you
- [ ] Collect toiletries, jewellery and belongings from the bathroom
- [ ] Check the fridge, balcony and any shared storage you used

## At reception

- [ ] Review the final bill and query charges you do not recognise
- [ ] Ask how any payment hold or deposit will be handled
- [ ] Request a receipt or invoice if you need one
- [ ] Return room keys, cards and any borrowed equipment
- [ ] Keep the luggage receipt if leaving bags in storage
- [ ] Count your bags and check your next destination before leaving
