Out of Hours Arrival

If you are arriving outside of our check-in appointment times, we suggest that you book accommodation for the night in a local hotel.

We do not have a 24 hour porter and can only check you in if you have arranged a check in appointment prior to your arrival.

Arrival & Check In

When you arrive, please come to the office, where a member of the CityBlock Team will be there to meet you.

All you need to know

Please read our CityBlock Guide – it is full of information that will be useful whilst living at CityBlock.
