The flight isn't until evening, but checkout is at eleven, and the room key still needs to go back to the front desk either way. A few phrases cover asking for more time, storing bags for the day, and settling anything left on the bill.

## Asking About Checkout Time

| Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 체크아웃 몇 시예요? | che-keu-a-ut myeot-ssi-ye-yo | What time is checkout? |
| 레이트 체크아웃 돼요? | re-i-teu che-keu-a-ut dwae-yo | Is late checkout available? |

체크아웃 몇 시예요? confirms the exact time if it wasn't clear from check-in; standard checkout in Korea commonly lands around 11 AM or noon depending on the property. Staying past that isn't always free, since some hotels charge an hourly fee or only offer late checkout based on same-day room availability, so 레이트 체크아웃 돼요? is worth asking early.

## Storing Luggage After Checkout

| Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 짐 좀 맡길 수 있어요? | jim jom mat-kkil su i-sseo-yo | Can I leave my luggage here? |
| 몇 시까지 찾으러 오면 돼요? | myeot-ssi-kka-ji cha-jeu-reo o-myeon dwae-yo | By what time should I come get it? |

For a same-day flight, 짐 좀 맡길 수 있어요? is one of the most useful phrases: most hotels hold bags at the front desk or a back room free of charge, even after the room itself is given up. If the property has a closing time or a shift change that affects when staff can hand bags back, 몇 시까지 찾으러 오면 돼요? is worth asking.

## Settling the Bill

| Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 미니바 이용 안 했어요 | mi-ni-ba i-yong an hae-sseo-yo | I didn't use the minibar |
| 추가 요금 있어요? | chu-ga yo-geum i-sseo-yo | Is there an extra charge? |

미니바 이용 안 했어요 heads off a common billing mix-up, since some hotels check the minibar automatically and add a charge unless a guest confirms nothing was touched. 추가 요금 있어요? covers anything else that might show up, like a damage fee or a late-checkout charge, before the final card swipe.

## Returning the Key and Room Check

| Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 카드키 반납할게요 | ka-deu-ki ban-nap-hal-kke-yo | I'll return the key card |
| 방 확인 필요해요? | bang hwa-gin pi-ryo-hae-yo | Do you need to check the room? |

카드키 반납할게요 works at most front desks as the plain way to hand back a key card, though a few properties use a drop box near the elevator instead of a staffed counter. Whether someone needs to physically check the room before checkout is final varies by hotel, so 방 확인 필요해요? clears that up either way.

## Getting a Receipt

| Korean | Pronunciation | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 영수증 주세요 | yeong-su-jeung ju-se-yo | Receipt, please |
| 이메일로 보내 주세요 | i-me-il-lo bo-nae ju-se-yo | Please send it by email |

영수증 주세요 gets a printed copy on the spot, useful for expense reports or visa documentation. 이메일로 보내 주세요 asks for a digital version instead, which some front desks default to now unless you ask for a paper copy.

Checkout at a Korean hotel is usually a few short exchanges, not one long conversation.
