Fino a che ora posso restare in camera?

Until what time can I stay in the room?

Pronunciation

FI-no — stress on the first syllable. 'Fino a' means 'until/up to'.

When to use it

Ask at check-in to know the check-out time and plan your last day accordingly.

What it means

'Fino a che ora' means 'until what time' — 'fino a' (until) + 'che ora' (what time). 'Restare' means to remain or stay. This is the most natural way to ask about check-out time without using the English term 'check-out'.

Variations

A che ora è il check-out?

What time is check-out?

The anglicism 'check-out' is universally understood in Italian hotels

È possibile avere un late check-out?

Is it possible to have a late check-out?

Ask this at least a day in advance — availability depends on bookings

Se parto tardi, posso tenere la camera fino al pomeriggio?

If I leave late, can I keep the room until the afternoon?

Some hotels charge half a day's rate for this service

Mini Dialogue

— Fino a che ora posso restare in camera? — Il check-out è entro mezzogiorno. — Ho un volo nel pomeriggio. È possibile avere un late check-out? — Verifico la disponibilità. Le faccio sapere domani mattina.

— Until what time can I stay in the room? — Check-out is by noon. — I have an afternoon flight. Is it possible to have a late check-out? — I will check availability. I will let you know tomorrow morning.

Cultural Note

Standard check-out in Italian hotels is noon (mezzogiorno). Late check-out is often possible for a fee or, in lower-occupancy periods, free of charge. Asking politely the evening before yields better results than demanding it at the last minute.
