Quiet hours

How it is used

Common in hostel and holiday-property rules; it concerns noise rather than closing access to the building.

Example sentences

1. The hostel's quiet hours began at eleven, so we moved our conversation outside.

   Guests change their behaviour to reduce disturbance during a stated period.

2. Our late arrival was allowed, but the host asked us to respect quiet hours.

   Permission to enter late can coexist with restrictions on noise.
