Frequently Asked Questions: Foreigners Staying in China Hotels

Why do some hotels in China refuse foreigners?

Check directly with your accommodation before booking that they can accept and register your passport. Procedures and staff familiarity can vary.

Do I need to carry my physical passport when checking in?

Yes. Every non-Chinese national in your travel party must present their physical, original passport at check-in. The front desk staff will scan your photo page and visa/240-hour entry permit stamp into the police system. Check-in requirements and timing can vary by property.

Is tap water safe to drink in Chinese hotels?

Tap water across China is not considered potable for direct drinking without boiling. Check with your hotel about drinking water and kettle availability.
