TL;DR
Book the room for one extra night in advance and tell the hotel you'll arrive early morning — this guarantees the room. Otherwise you can leave your luggage at the hotel and come back later.

It's best to book check-in for one day earlier than needed and notify the hotel of your approximate morning arrival time — this guarantees the room will be ready.

Standard check-in/check-out is 2pm/12pm. If you need the room early in the morning, book an extra night in advance. Otherwise, you can still arrive early, leave your luggage at reception (common practice in most hotels), grab breakfast, walk around, and return around check-in time.

You can also try asking for early check-in without paying for an extra night — if the room happens to be free, hotels often let you in. But this is a gamble with no guarantee.
