TL;DR
Early check-in is not guaranteed: some guests get their room right away at 5am if it's fully prepaid, but many wait 5+ hours until after breakfast or later, especially when many groups arrive at once.
If you land early morning and your room isn't ready, you can change clothes in the mother-and-child restroom near reception while waiting.
Experience varies a lot: one couple arrived at night along with 5-6 other couples and nobody got an immediate check-in — they waited around reception from 2am and only got their room after breakfast, about 5 hours later.
Even guests who offered to pay extra for early check-in were often refused — the hotel simply wouldn't hand out rooms before standard time when too many guests arrived at once.
Some travelers get lucky: check-in happens immediately at 5am if the room was fully prepaid in advance — no issues or waiting.
