Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Pullman, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above 10) on the west or east side of the hotel to minimize street noise from Jalan Asia-Afrika. The hotel has 12 floors, and the higher you go, the farther away you'll be from the road. Additionally, rooms with city views on the higher floors will give you a better view of the surrounding hills.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the service entrance on the ground floor may experience noise from staff and deliveries. If you're a light sleeper, it's best to avoid rooms 101-109 on the first floor, as they're closest to the service entrance.
Best views
Rooms on the west side of the hotel (facing the city) will offer a view of the surrounding hills and the cityscape. Rooms on the east side will face the street, but you may catch a glimpse of the nearby mountains.
Quietest floors
Floors 10-12 are likely the quietest, as they're farthest from the street and the service entrance.
🔊 Noise notes
As the hotel is located on a busy street, you can expect some traffic noise, especially during peak hours. However, the hotel's soundproofing should minimize the disturbance.
Insider tips
