Reception is open from 8.30am to 8pm and check-ins are possible at any time during those hours. Guests may check-in any time during reception hours. However, due to our daily cleaning schedule you can only move into your room after 1pm. We do have a luggage storage room where you can ‘park’ your baggage in the meantime.
