Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Evgin, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (3rd floor or above) to minimize potential street noise from the city of Artvin, which is likely to be more pronounced in lower-level rooms. Additionally, considering the hotel's 3-star rating, opting for a room with a concrete floor (if available) might be a good choice to reduce noise from footsteps and other disturbances.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the elevator (lift) might be noisier due to frequent usage, especially during peak hours. If possible, try to avoid rooms on the ground floor near the service entrance or bar area, as these may be more prone to noise from staff and patrons.
Best views

Quietest floors
The 2nd and 3rd floors are likely to be the quietest, as they are not directly adjacent to the ground floor and are less likely to be affected by street noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise, elevator noise, and potential noise from the bar and service entrance are the primary noise concerns at this hotel.
Insider tips
When checking in, consider asking for a room key that has been recently cleaned to minimize the risk of encountering any lingering cleaning products or strong odors.
