Does this mean I can check-in and check-out anytime of the day? When I booked my hostels, I have put the “estimated time”, but what if I am wrong by an hour, or more like 4 hours early/late. I understand it means there is someone there all the time, but can I still check-in and out anytime? It would really help me out, thanks! Checking out is the big one, because I plan on checking out early like between 7:30-10:00.

Or, are most places have a “Check out until 12:00” rule?

24 hour rerception means someone will be working at the front desk 24 hours a day. Actual check-in times vary, but are usually around 2 or 3pm; check out varies from hostel to hostel, but is around 10am-12 noon. You can usually store your bags at the hostel until check in time, if you arrive early.

Hope this helps!!
