if you want to check in at 1:30am, reserve the night before and let the hotel know your arrival time.
if you want to check in 12 hours later, make a reservation for that day.

If you do not do this, you risk the hotel listing you as a "no show" at midnight "turn" (or possibly even earlier) and your room being released by the hotel's "Room Controller" (or person fulfilling that function).
I did all of this recently for a very early arrival in Lima, Per, to assure we had a room held for our arrival.

The wait may be longer than 12 hours. Many properties have 3 and 4 PM check-in times. If he arrives at 1:30 AM, he may not have a room for 14-15 hours.
Definitely book for the night before and definitely make certain that the property knows of your arrival time. If booking online, I would also call the FD of the property on the day of and make certain that they know.
