Posso fare il check-out più tardi del solito?

Can I check out later than usual?

Pronunciation

'Solito' — stress the first syllable: 'SO-li-to'. 'Tardi' — 'TAR-di'.

When to use it

Use on the last day of your (extended) stay when you need extra time in the room. Late check-out is one of the most common guest requests.

What it means

'Del solito' = 'than usual'. 'Del' is the contraction of 'di + il'. 'Fare il check-out tardi' = 'to do a late check-out'. This is distinct from an extension — you are not adding a night, just asking to vacate later on the departure day.

Variations

Can I leave the room at twelve instead of eleven?

Specifies times explicitly

Posso avere il late check-out?

Mini Dialogue

Posso fare il check-out più tardi del solito? Fino a che ora ne avrebbe bisogno? Fino alle tredici — ho un treno nel pomeriggio. Nessun problema, la camera è sua fino alle tredici.

Can I check out later than usual? Until what time would you need it? Until one pm — I have an afternoon train. No problem, the room is yours until one pm.

Cultural Note

Late check-out (fino alle 13:00) is typically free in Italian hotels if requested the day before and if the room is not immediately needed. After 13:00, many hotels charge a half-day rate. Guests with afternoon trains or flights are routinely accommodated — it is considered simple courtesy.
