BENGALURU: A long established practice in the global hospitality industry has been to have check-in times no earlier than 2-3 pm and check-out times no later than 11 am-12 noon. It's an irritating practice for travellers who arrive early in the morning, especially after tiring journeys.Now, Oyo is trying to change that. The Mumbai-based hotel aggregator has introduced an early check-in feature -it becomes operational from Saturday -in 2,000 of the 6,500 properties listed on its site. The move allows users to check into hotel rooms as early as 6am. In such cases, if consumers ask for a 6 am check-in, then the hotels might need to block the room a day in advance.
