Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Jordan Creek Cottage, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (3 or above) for a quieter stay. Given the hotel's 3-star rating and urban location, you can expect a standard floor plan. Higher floors typically mean less street noise from Keppel Street, which can be busy with local traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first floor if you're a light sleeper, as the service entrance is located on this floor and you may hear staff and deliveries.
Best views
Since the hotel's address is on Keppel Street, rooms on the higher floors (3 or above) with an east-facing orientation may offer views of the surrounding cityscape.
Quietest floors
Floors 2-3 are likely to be the quietest, considering the hotel's layout and the fact that the lift is probably located on one of the lower floors.
🔊 Noise notes
