🔊 Noise notes
As the hotel is located on a main street, expect some noise from traffic, especially during peak hours. The hotel's lift may also be a source of noise, particularly if it's located near your room.
Insider tips
Request a room with a concrete floor, as the hotel's rooms with timber floors may be noisier due to creaking. Additionally, consider requesting a room near the lift, but not directly adjacent to it, as the hotel's lift may be less busy on higher floors.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
